How do we meet the great challenges of our time? Supplying the world's population and at the same time protecting our natural resources seem to create an irresolvable conflict. It is our view that automation technology and technical education are enabling factors that can drive the industrial transformation towards CO₂-neutral, sustainable production. We can all work together and make an active contribution.
Which systems and solutions help make the workplace more ergonomic and relieve people of physically and mentally stressful activities? How can we enable people to work safely and effectively with machines?
On the one hand, the focus is on intelligent and intuitive handling systems that can work safely hand in hand with people and provide relief, particularly in a working environment with heavy-duty and tiring tasks. On the other hand, digitalisation offers great potential to supplement human capabilities and increase productivity. By using software tools and AI methods, complex evaluations of large volumes of data can be carried out in order to generate information that supports people in their decision-making processes.

How can we manage the increasing demands on healthcare as a result of population growth and demographic change? What technical expertise is required to ensure safety, quality and efficiency in the life science sector?
A growing and ageing world population requires more medical diagnostics and treatment. Today's efficacy of medicine is made possible thanks to technical innovations. As a result, people can reach a higher age with a better quality of life. Larger sample volumes require an increase in capacity and an acceleration of laboratory services such as in vitro diagnostics. Automation technology not only speeds up laboratory processes, it also ensures high quality and safety standards. Our valves ensure medical gases are dosed and controlled extremely precisely when supplying patients.

How do we support the implementation of Industry 4.0 and structural change in many sectors? How can we give people confidence in dealing with new technologies?
1. The battery cycle
The automotive industry is in a state of upheaval as it moves away from the combustion engine and towards regenerative systems. This has massive implications for production environments, processes and supply chains. Industry 4.0 and virtualisation are the key to mastering the increasing complexity and achieving greater flexibility and productivity.

3. Digitalisation and artificial intelligence
Artificial intelligence helps us to generate valuable information from all the machine data that can be gathered, thus contributing to quality assurance, energy efficiency and predictive maintenance. The use of data in and around a machine to optimise performance and efficiency is becoming the standard for automation concepts in all industrial segments.

How can we save energy and reduce CO₂ emissions? How can we reduce our material consumption, recycle more and use alternative materials, such as green hydrogen? How do we train people so that they can drive forward the use of innovative solutions to address the world's environmental challenges?
The challenges of climate change are encouraging us to develop new automation concepts at full speed. That is how we will be making an important contribution to achieving a circular economy. While doing so, we pay particular attention to biology as an action topic for automation. It can be used to make a biological cell into the smallest factory of the future.
