HANNOVER MESSE 2017 (24–28 April; Hannover, Germany):
HANNOVER MESSE trendspots – a glimpse of what’s coming to Hannover!
– No. 6
An end to bad atmospheres
bioclimatic, an air purification specialist based in Germany’s Lower Saxony
region, is at HANNOVER MESSE to showcase made-to-measure solutions
for air purification and sterilization in industrial and commercial environments.
It’s often said that storms clear the air, and this is actually borne out by a
scientific principle that results in fresh, breathable air. The high voltage in
lightning splits oxygen molecules into positively and negatively charged ions
(bipolar ionization). These highly reactive particles are then able to break
down and detoxify organic chains of molecules such as germs, mold and
bacteria. The systems from bioclimatic GmbH, based in Bad Nenndorf,
Germany,
utilize
this
exact
same
principle.
This
global
air
purification
specialist is exhibiting its latest bipolar ionization systems at HANNOVER
MESSE 2017 that are designed for industrial and commercial applications in
airports, hospitals, office buildings, event venues and the food industry.

Applying
the
bipolar
ionization
principle
doesn’t
just
provide
fresh
and
odorless air and significantly reduce levels of bacteria, germs and mold –
deactivating harmful substances is also a reliable way to alleviate the
symptoms
associated
with
pollen
allergies.
What’s
more,
in
numerous
communal spaces throughout the world where people continue to smoke,
bioclimatic solutions can help cut unpleasant odors decisively. “We offer a
natural solution that genuinely removes odors and doesn’t just mask them,”
says Carsten Feuerhake, Head of Sales & Marketing at bioclimatic GmbH.
bioclimatic systems, which can also be installed in existing air conditioning
and ventilation units, don’t cause any loss of pressure, thus making them
highly energy-efficient. Moreover, they don’t use any chemicals or fragrances,
which means disposal is easy. Maintenance is also straightforward, as users
can complete annual visual inspections and clean pipes themselves.

astounding
insights
into
the
future
of
For some time, practitioners of mind sports have been grappling with artificial
intelligence (AI). Computer brains have already beaten the best human
players in chess and Go. The picture is quite different for sports that require
both mental and physical skills. Physical interaction with a human is an
enormous challenge for developers of intelligent robots. Omron, one of the
world’s leading companies in industrial automation, has successfully taken on
this challenge. It is in Hannover to show how the third generation of
Forpheus, a table tennis robot, adds artificial intelligence to its core skills of
sensor and control technology.
Omron is using Forpheus as a fun way to demonstrate its capabilities in
collaborative human-machine technologies. Forpheus played its first match at
HANNOVER MESSE last year. Since then, its coaches have worked on its
mental strength to ensure it is even smarter against this year’s visitors to
the trade fair. Following its upgrade, Forpheus should be able to interpret
human behavior and ideally predict it, too, as the Omron developers have
taught it to learn, think and act and to make contact and communicate with
people. These skills mean Forpheus should even be able to teach humans a
thing or two. Of course, it isn’t all a game, but rather serious development
work for the next stage in human-machine interaction – one that should
enable innovative production processes, thanks to integrated automation and
intelligent data solutions from Omron.

Digital innovation thrives in Schaeffler’s ecosystem
Schaeffler AG is at HANNOVER MESSE to showcase its digital portfolio
under the banner “Schaeffler Smart Ecosystem 4.0” and present a corporate
digital agenda for creating both intelligent products and new business models.
Few, if any, exhibitors would risk going to HANNOVER MESSE 2017 without
any new developments or innovations. The digital revolution has gathered
such a pace that solutions of the past won’t be able to meet the needs of
the future for much longer. One company – Schweinfurt-based Schaeffler AG
– is going to particularly great lengths in this area. Besides updated products
and new business models, it is exhibiting an end-to-end digital system in
Hannover under the banner “Schaeffler Smart Ecosystem 4.0”. The new
system incorporates all the company’s current and future digital services,
models and sensor-based products.
Schaeffler is looking to show everyone at HANNOVER MESSE the great
strides that have already been made with “Smart Ecosystem 4.0” and
implementing the digital agenda. “When working with this ecosystem, users
can see the status of their plants at a glance,” says Dr. Hans-Willi
Kessler, head of Service Products at Schaeffler. He explains that automatic
diagnostics mean users don’t need any specialist expertise in condition
monitoring, while the premium service also offers users recommendations on
what actions they should take. “Automated rolling bearing diagnosis”, which
is already available as the company exhibits in Hannover, is one of the first

We can do everything – except stand still.
The thermal management specialists from STEGO, based in Germany’s
Swabia region, are in Hannover to exhibit a range of new developments and
enhancements to existing products under the banner “Home of Innovation”.
These include the Filter Fan Plus series and four new devices in the
STEGO DC Line.
How can operational reliability inside an enclosure be made even better?
And how can the harmful formation of condensation and frost be prevented
in the long term? The thermal management specialists from STEGO, based
in Schwäbisch Hall, Germany, grapple with these and many other questions
on an almost daily basis. This may in part be because they come from a
region that has a proud history of producing inventors. However, STEGO
itself prefers to point to the one constant since the company was founded
37 years ago – its thirst for innovation. Indeed, visitors to this year’s
HANNOVER MESSE, where the company is showcasing itself as a “Home of
Innovation”, will once again be left in no doubt that technical inspiration
always enjoys a warm welcome at STEGO.

Switzerland turns up the pressure!
Switzerland-based Celeroton AG, a leading manufacturer of ultra high-speed
electric drive systems, is in Hannover this year to showcase its first turbo
compressors with gas bearings. Wear-resistant and oil-free, they deliver
outstanding efficiency and are purported to be unique in their weight and
performance class.
With a rated speed of 280,000 revolutions per minute in air, the new CT17-700.GB and CT-17-1000.GB turbo compressors with gas bearings are
unprecedented in terms of size, weight and excellent system efficiency. In
addition to an unlimited service life in continuous operation, they deliver 100
percent oil- and lubricant-free air compression, a pressure ratio of up to
1.65, mass flow up to 24 g/s, total isentropic efficiency of 59 percent, and
a rated maximum power of 1kW – all at a volume of just 530 cubic
centimeters.
“The development of our gas bearing turbo compressors marks a historic
milestone in the field of high-speed turbo compressors,” says Christof
Zwyssig,
Managing
Director
and Head of Research
& Development
at
Celeroton. “Initial customer feedback on our compressors during field tests
has been excellent, confirming the highly innovative performance of our
flagship product,” adds Martin Bartholet, Managing Director and Head of
Sales.

The technology developed by Celeroton AG opens up new horizons for
application areas where the use of miniaturized turbo compressors has so far
been extremely limited or not even possible at all. These new applications
include oil-free compressed air supply for fuel cells, mobile respirators and
oxygen concentrators, decentralized pneumatics (vacuum and compressed air
production), high-tech blowers, and low-maintenance air conditioning and
heat pumps that deliver maximum performance – in stationary applications
and for heating and cooling systems in hybrid and electric cars. What’s
more, the turbo compressors are fully compatible with the CC-230-3500
and CC-120-1000 Celeroton inverters, ensuring sensor-free speed control
over the entire operating range. All in all, Celeroton AG is something of a
one-stop shop for air supply solutions.
