CeMAT 2014 to rock with new slogan

The next CeMAT, one of the world’s leading fairs for intralogistics, will take place in Hannover, Germany from May 19-23, 2014, with the slogan “Smart – Integrated – Efficient”. “Intralogistics is an enabler of efficient logistics processes and in this role has increasingly put the focus on state-of-the-art information and communication technologies,” comments Dr Andreas Gruchow, Board Member, Deutsche Messe AG. These two concepts relate to the merging of the physical world and the Internet world. This networking helps make the movement of materials and parts transparent, thereby providing a foundation for the dynamic management of logistics processes.
“As a leading trade fair, CeMAT offers the industry a platform that is internationally unique. This is where all the major intralogistics trends are presented and discussed. Indeed, the increase in digitisation will be much in evidence at CeMAT 2014. ‘Smart – Integrated – Efficient’ describes the intelligent management of integrated logistics chains across the entire value-added process and reflects the trend toward an increasingly networked world,” explains Mr Gruchow.
“This demands secure, dependable technology, complete systems and intralogistics products, as well as processors, operating elements, software, control systems and much more,” says Dr Christoph Beumer, Chairman, CeMAT Steering Committee and CEO, BEUMER Group GmbH & Co. KG.
Dr Beumer emphasises, “To a growing extent, intralogistics is all about software and processes. What’s more, we are seeing the rapid introduction of innovations in these areas. This is one reason why we welcome CeMAT’s transition to a 2-year cycle as this always allows us to present these innovations to an international audience within a narrow time frame.”
