Hannover Messe 2015 — Integrated Industry: Join the Network

Hannover Messe 2015 has just wrapped up in Hannover, Germany. Under the theme “Integrated Industry – Join the Network”, this edition solidified the arrival of Industry 4.0 as more than a concept — it’s now shaping how manufacturing, automation, and power transmission work together in practice.

What Made Hannover Messe 2015 Stand Out

• More than 220,000 visitors, including roughly 70,000 from outside Germany, came to see the latest in industrial automation, smart energy systems, and connected production.

• Around 6,500 exhibitors from 70+ countries showcased breakthroughs in industrial automation, energy efficiency, R&D, and digital factory innovations.

• India joined as the Partner Country, bringing a strong national presence and spotlighting its growing industrial tech capabilities and global collaborations.

Why This Matters

This year’s show sent a clear message: networks matter. Whether between machines, data systems, or companies — connections are no longer optional; they’re essential. From smart sensors to energy management and from collaborative robotics to digital manufacturing, many technologies that were once on the horizon are now ready for deployment.

Load Test with Coupled Machines — Thessaloniki Facility

At our premises in Thessaloniki, we recently performed a full load test using two identical electric motors, mechanically coupled to simulate real operating conditions.

This testing method — often referred to as back-to-back testing — allows us to evaluate the performance, thermal behavior, vibration response, and mechanical balance of the tested unit with high accuracy and full control over load parameters.

The setup involved:

• Two matched machines, operating as motor and generator

• Controlled load conditions, monitored throughout the test

• Real-time data acquisition, including current, voltage, torque, temperature, and vibration

This procedure is used to confirm both the quality of the motor under test and the robustness of its application-specific configuration, especially in demanding industrial environments. The test helps us verify alignment, cooling performance, mechanical integrity, and the response under sustained load — long before the motor is ever installed on-site.

Tests like these are a key part of our commitment to ensuring trouble-free commissioning and maximum reliability in the field.
