Bharat Forge, Festo India, Nikon India, Sick India, Tal
Manufacturing, Wipro 3D sign up for the 12th edition; to bring pioneering
innovations to the auto-hub of Chennai
Every
major technological shift reflects a quantum leap in automotive manufacturing
which is the first to adopt new technology trends followed by other
manufacturing sectors. The USD 93 billion automotive industry that is
shouldering 7.1% of India's GDP, contributes 49% to the nation's manufacturing
GDP*. With auto players now gearing up for the transition to automated shop
floors and smart, digitalised factories, the right mix of strategy and collaboration
with technology partners will ensure a competitive advantage. Bringing together
leading technology-driven brands and their newest innovations for the
automotive industry, the 12th edition of the Automotive Engineering Show
returns to Chennai this year.
The
strong list of exhibitors and a series of live product demonstrations and
seminar sessions will enable the OEM and automotive manufacturers to identify,
connect and collaborate with the right technology partners for industrial and
process automation together with quality control tools under one roof. Opening
its doors to the industry from on 4 – 6 July 2019, the business event will
feature over 85 prominent technology players coming together at the Chennai
Trade Centre. Focused on technologies for automotive manufacturing, the
exhibition will feature tech majors like Baumer India, Bharat Forge, Carl
Zeiss, DesignTech Systems, Festo India, Nikon India, Olympus, Pepperl + Fuchs,
Schmersal India, Staubli Tec, Sick India, Tal Manufacturing, Wipro 3D among other
leading names.
The
strong presence of automotive majors has gained Chennai its recognition as one
of the country’s largest automotive and auto components manufacturing hub.
Taking place in this city which houses one of the largest auto-clusters, the exhibition
comes at an important juncture when the growing dominance of autonomous and
connected vehicles is witnessing innovative technological developments, making
inroads into the automobile industry.
For
instance, the diversification of the automotive market into Hybrid Electric
Vehicles and EVs creates new challenges in design and manufacturing. One of the
primary issues have been the integration of high-voltage, high-power batteries
in the 300 V range or higher on platforms traditionally using 12V. These high
voltages generate additional costs and risks in ensuring smooth, safe power
conversion for the various on board electrical sub-systems. Companies now must
consider site preparation necessities, and safety requirements when
transitioning from low power to high power. Having a commercial off-the-shelf
solution that has a low cost of ownership would minimize high-power test costs
by reducing floor space usage, reduce heat dissipation, and maintaining uptime.
Offering solutions for this segment are companies such as Keysight which will
be displaying its RP7900 Series regenerative power system at the three-day
fair.
Moreover,
consumers are increasingly demanding in-vehicle connectivity, advanced driver
assistance (ADAS), infotainment services, and other innovative features. To
meet this challenge, automotive industry is rapidly moving to adopt Ethernet’s
scalable and flexible networking technology. However ethernet’s shared medium
technology offers its own challenges of performance, reliability and security.
Addressing this need, Embedded Systems Solutions will be showcasing the
US-based AKUKA Systems technology - Aukua MGA2510 which is a powerful Ethernet
Test system supporting IEEE standards-based automotive Ethernet.
German
manufacturer, SICK Germany will bring "microScan3" - The new
generation of Safety Laser Scanners, which comes with innovative safeHDDM®
scanning technology equipped with onboard Core Input/Ouput, EtherNet/IP™ and
PROFINET for safe machine integration. With on-board ethernet and profinet
communication, easy integration and diagnosis is possible, which will play an
important role in Indian Industrial Safety to take a step forward to Industry
4.0.
Other
interesting product highlights at AES Chennai that auto manufacturers need to
look out for:
