Interview on the road to K 2025 with Dietmar Dieing, Vice President Sales Plast at Sesotec GmbH
In the exchange of experiences, the topic of AI in the company was discussed from safe application to strategic implementation.
Interview on the road to K 2025 with Timo Horn, Head of Operational Services in Extrusion Technology at Hans Weber Maschinenfabrik GmbH
On July 1, 2025, VDMA Austria held an AI practical day at the KEBA Group in Linz, which attracted a great deal of interest with over 70 participants.
How to introduce AI-based planning systems: from identifying suitable use cases and creating digital foundations to designing agile and human-centered innovation processes.
The transformation of the automotive industry is changing the demands placed on machine tools and production technology. Topics such as automation, digitalization and artificial intelligence are shaping developments.
The ongoing digital transformation is helping companies to improve existing value propositions and develop new ones.
With the "AJCsens", the Fraunhofer IVV presents a smart spray cleaning system for demand-oriented tank cleaning, which offers a forward-looking answer to the constantly increasing pressure on time and resources thanks to its high savings potential.
The oscillating quartz-based sensor technology CoControl-QCM enables reliable inline detection of a wide variety of contaminants, such as product deposits, biofilms and crystalline fouling.
The AI-supported monitoring system makes it possible to predictively detect fouling during the production process. This makes it particularly suitable for the production process of high-protein products such as yoghurt drinks or milk-based mixed drinks.
The VDMA regulatory cockpit provides you with a central, practical overview of current and upcoming regulations. It helps you identify relevant information at an early stage, evaluate it strategically, and derive concrete measures.
In a FAQ, the EU Commission has clarified what the AI Regulation (AI Act) means by AI competence and what obligations apply to the operators of AI systems.
As part of the online event "Generative AI - Identifying potential, seizing opportunities", a survey was conducted among participants on 29.04.25 to obtain an up-to-date picture of the current mood.
A new VDMA white paper uses case studies to show how artificial intelligence is already being used in processes, products and business models in mechanical and plant engineering.

Strengthen the resilience of your company. Our series of events shows ways through difficult economic times - compact, practical and future-orientated.
AI in quality management: exploiting opportunities, recognizing risks - at the QM Corner, experts discussed data protection, security and the responsible use of AI.
The EU's action plan emphasizes the opportunities offered by artificial intelligence. There is a lot of potential for AI, especially in industrial applications. Small-scale regulations must not stand in the way of this.
In turbulent times, good trade relations are just as important as innovation. With the guest country Canada and the focus on the use of artificial intelligence in production, Hannover Messe 2025 has set the right signals.
The AI Act entered into force 2 August 2024. A VDMA FAQ document was prepared together with the law firm FPS to provide non-binding guidance, now available as 2nd edition.
A new study shows: The targeted use of Generative Artificial Intelligence can increase the profit margin in mechanical and plant engineering by up to 10.7 percentage points. This corresponds to an additional profit of 28 billion euros.
On February 4, 2025, the EU Commission published guidelines to provide an overview of the AI systems that have been banned in the EU since this February.
Erleben Sie am 08.-09. Mai 2025 in Wien spannende Vorträge und Podiumsdiskussionen zu Digitalisierungslösungen im Maschinen- und Anlagenbau.
Events
The web seminar "AI Solutions for Mechanical Engineering - Process Optimization" will take place on 1 September 2025. The event is part of a series of web seminars covering various key topics relating to AI.
The digital transformation is opening up new ways for industrial companies to create value - particularly through digital and AI-supported business models. Permanent sources of income via subscription models and digital services promise great potential, but pose considerable challenges, particularly for medium-sized mechanical and plant engineering companies.
Our event showcases the latest technological developments and practical applications - from model-based simulation and integration into automation systems to the use of real-time data. Practical reports highlight the application areas of engineering (including virtual commissioning), training and after-sales service.
Please make a note of the date today. As soon as the agenda has been finalized and the invitation has been sent out, you can register for the event. If you would like to receive the agenda directly by e-mail and thus be informed via the registration function, please ask Ms. Struck to add you to the invitation mailing list.
Digitalization and AI: Driving Innovation in Gear Production? Listen to lectures from 12 - 13 November in Aachen from: Flender, GKN Driveline, Scania, SEW Eurodrive, Kapp Niles and many more.
