Andreas Barth, Managing Director EUROCENTRAL, Dassault Systèmes Deutschland GmbH, Stuttgart, Germany:

"We are very satisfied with the run of HANNOVER MESSE so far. We’re exhibiting along with our client CLAAS at the Digital Factory show. Visitors to our stand can learn about concrete ways of implementing Industry 4.0 – across all sectors of industry and in companies of all sizes.

We are also illustrating the benefits of digitalization from the initial idea right through to the production line by covering such key themes as additive manufacturing, systems engineering, the Internet of Things and production planning. We have already made many promising new business contacts and registered strong interest on the part of our customers in deepening partnerships and collaborating on new projects.

The visit by U.S. President Obama has certainly helped to give HANNOVER MESSE’s international profile a further boost. We are already looking forward to doing our part again in 2017 to ensure that visitors to the Digital Factory show will be rewarded with a captivating and worthwhile experience."
