Here you will find all HANNOVER MESSE Innovations from the 16th until the 22nd April at a glance.
Industrial and manufacturing facilities often create extremely hot working conditions. This environment is particularly dangerous for tubes. Novoplast Schlauchtechnik GmbH will be presenting flame-resistant tubes at HANNOVER MESSE 2012.
Oil and gas are finite resources - and they're not good for the climate either. In contrast, hydrogen is a renewable, environmentally friendly energy storage medium. At HANNOVER MESSE 2012, ODB-Tec GmbH will be showing how it's possible to produce hydrogen using solar collectors.
Using wind turbines and solar systems to produce energy is one of the key trends of the moment. The problem is that, if the wind drops or there's not enough sun, these methods generate too little power. At HANNOVER MESSE 2012, LichtBlick will be introducing its ZuhauseKraftwerk and demonstrating how it's possible to compensate for the fluctuating volumes of power fed into the grid by renewable energies.
Coatings are a key topic in the industrial sector. Winterthur Instruments GmbH tests the quality of vehicle finishes, chrome-plated fittings and many other types of coatings - without leaving any dents or bumps. The company will be exhibiting at HANNOVER MESSE 2012.
Fresh produce often spoils while it's being transported from one place to another. But not any more. At HANNOVER MESSE 2012, the University of Bremen will be demonstrating how an intelligent container can ensure apples and bananas arrive at their destination in good condition and quality.
Today's cars feature an ever greater range of electrical applications, including navigation devices, air conditioning systems and infotainment. At HANNOVER MESSE 2012, IBG Automation will be revealing how state-of-the-art robots can help to manufacture powerful batteries for the automotive industry efficiently.
Making a call on your cellphone, listening to music on your MP3 player or finding your way around with the help of a GPS device all require electricity. But if you're hiking in the wilds, camping or mountaineering, it's a tricky business finding plug points to charge batteries. At HANNOVER MESSE 2012, SOLARC Innovative Solarprodukte GmbH will be revealing how you can still keep your electrical devices charged even when you're in the middle of nowhere.
Components are often coated with synthetic resins to protect them from moisture, increase their resistance to stress, vibration and shock, and provide mechanical stability. At HANNOVER MESSE 2012, WEVO-CHEMIE GmbH will be demonstrating how a gel-like polyurethane sealing compound is able to meet the tough requirements of the automotive and electrical industries.
In earlier eras, oxen had to drag plows across the fields. Today, that job is done by tractors. Now, we can welcome the next major step forward in arable farming. At HANNOVER MESSE 2012, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology will be showing how a single driver can work his fields with two tractors at once.
Oil is not only used for lubrication and heating - it is also found in almost all plastics. As oil reserves are finite and the cost of this raw material is increasing all the time, the Fraunhofer Institute for Environment, Safety and Energy Technology (IUSE) has chosen to use HANNOVER MESSE 2012 as a platform to demonstrate how plastics can be produced using wood.
Answers to five questions - "how, where, what, when and how much?" - play a key role in warehousing. The new SAP app "Smart Warehouse" from Fistec AG answers these questions in real time. This clever warehouse assistant will be on display at HANNOVER MESSE 2012.
Gear wheels and other mechanical components are sometimes jet black and covered in dirt. This is caused by the oil and grease used for lubrication that quickly attracts all kinds of dust and dirt. At HANNOVER MESSE 2012, the Leibniz Institute for New Materials will be presenting a lubricant that uses neither oil nor grease.
Ethernet cables in cable drag chain systems get squashed, tugged and jolted. They are subjected to particularly heavy stresses when used in drag chains in the automation sector. There's a risk the cables will not be able to hold out. Friedrich Lütze GmbH will be presenting a resilient solution at HANNOVER MESSE 2012.
Many holidaymakers are unwilling to part from their cars. After all, mobility is a key part of any holiday, too. At HANNOVER MESSE 2012, Initiative Zukunftsmobilität will be demonstrating how it’s possible to cut CO2 emissions while on holiday without sacrificing mobility.
A sweet coconut bar for breakfast, a Thai curry with coconut milk for lunch and an exotic coconut cocktail as relaxation after a long day. It all sounds delicious - but at HANNOVER MESSE 2012, Bio-Circle Surface Technology GmbH and its cleaning agent Bio-Chem GS 200 will be showing that coconuts can do a lot more, too.
Normally, materials become thinner perpendicular to any applied force. Auxetic materials are the exception to this rule. Applied Auxetics GmbH will be demonstrating exactly what the advantages of these materials are at HANNOVER MESSE 2012.
What do you do with eco-friendly power that's surplus to requirements? In northern Germany, a lot of electricity is generated using wind power. However, the networks are often unable to absorb this energy. At HANNOVER MESSE 2012, the EnERgioN ("Erneuerbare Energien in der Region Nord") competence tandem of the Innovation Incubator of Leuphana University of Lüneburg will be introducing a different approach.
Small electrical devices and sensors are everywhere – even inside people. But how is it possible to charge a heart pacemaker without reaching for the scalpel? At HANNOVER MESSE 2012, the Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS will be revealing how pacemakers and other devices can be supplied with power wirelessly.
DAS Environmental Expert GmbH has set itself the task of cleaning air. The company is exhibiting its STYRAX waste gas treatment system at HANNOVER MESSE 2012.
Driverless transport systems should avoid collisions at all times. At HANNOVER MESSE 2012, BlueBotics is showing how these industrious helpers not only move autonomously but also reliably avoid obstacles.
It's a nightmare scenario - an earthquake that causes massive destruction without warning and leaves you no time to get to safety. On display at HANNOVER MESSE 2012, the secty lifePatron from sectyelectronics GmbH is an advanced earthquake early-warning system for the home.
