The new European Machinery Products Regulation dramatically changes the playing field for machinery manufacturers and end users. It replaces the current Machinery Directive and brings binding obligations for all EU economic operators from 20 January 2027. But the consequences are not delayed: projects started now must already take into account the requirements of later.

Artificial intelligence offers plenty of opportunities for the manufacturing industry, but also raises some questions. No wonder many companies in the Netherlands are still hesitant. Is it safe? Does it really deliver? And if so, how do you prepare your company for this technology? For instance, can you use AI if you use analogue machines?

Prepare your production processes for the future! Advanced technologies like SIMATIC WinCC Unified software and Siemens Unified Comfort Panels empower companies in the manufacturing industry to work more efficiently, reduce costs, and optimize user interfaces.

Suppose a metal cap gets lost in a jar of applesauce. Annoying for the consumer, a nightmare for the producer. But also for the chain. After all, claims are increasingly being passed on to suppliers, machine builders or maintenance companies. One unwanted element can lead to costly recalls, legal proceedings and lasting reputation damage. With the growing claims culture, it is crucial that companies cover themselves properly and can justify their choices.

We would like to invite you to our webinar Opportunities in Congestion on Wednesday, November 13. During this interactive webinar, we will discuss the current state of grid congestion and provide insight into the solution directions that industrial companies can take.

On 1, 2 and 3 October 2024, Evenementenhal Gorinchem will host the national trade event for the entire metalworking manufacturing industry. The METAVAK 2024 exhibition floor will again offer a complete overview of the latest machines, tools, materials and technologies for the metalworking manufacturing industry.

In many warehouses, the questions pile up. Where do we put the increased stock? How can we find everything (quickly)? Where do we find employees? How do we control costs? Can't the process be a bit more manageable? What is an appropriate management system? Are there practical and affordable solutions to our challenges?

The biennial World of Industry, Technology & Science is coming up again! From 24 to 27 September, you can explore the Benelux's largest industrial fair in Jaarbeurs Utrecht.

With NIS2, the protection of network and information systems enters a new phase. This European directive will be transposed into national legislation this year. Security measures will be imposed on organisations providing important, essential or critical services.

The future is not getting any more certain. Who would have ever thought that companies would go bust because they could not pay their energy bills? At the very least, a company that wants to increase its industrial livelihood in this day and age needs to embark on a strategic energy policy.

Unplanned production line downtime is so costly that companies want to avoid it at all costs. For example, by having a spare part available for all parts. However, this is also costly and rarely efficient. It is therefore important to make a measured spare parts selection.

What exactly is effective energy management? And how do you implement it? Follow our new webinar Score with your Energy Team, Thursday February 29 (starting at 2 p.m.).

We're sorry, but this webinar is only available in Dutch.

Have you also received mail from Rob Jetten about the energy saving obligation? The four-year reports must be submitted by 1 December. Have you already realised your savings ambition and taken the necessary measures? There are probably more gains to be made than you think.

In our dynamic times, continuously improving your work processes is crucial to compete and keep growing. This works best when this process optimisation is structured and goal-oriented.

In a few weeks, the new regulation on machinery products will come into force. This regulation replaces the old Machinery Directive of 2006. What does this mean for your machinery and products? Find out by watching our new webinar Machine Safety: the New Regulation.

If you can predict unwanted downtime on a production line, you can prevent it. Want to know how to do that? Follow our webinar on predictive maintenance on Tuesday 9 May at 14:00!

On 1 March this year itsme organised a webinar on explosion safety. ATEX expert Arthur Rooze discussed your role in explosion safety: from manufacturer to user, he refreshed their ATEX knowledge and addresses pitfalls based on examples. Watch it back now!

Have you been hacked yet? Or do you think it won't happen to you? Then you have either built up good security or you may not have thought about it yet. In February this year, 45% of companies had experienced cybercrime. By now, it will be a majority. Are you next?

Don't have a time machine but would like to see the future? Then visit TechniShow 2022. From Tuesday 30 August to Friday 2 September, the manufacturing industry will come together in Utrecht's Jaarbeurs to take the next step in smart technology. TechniShow is the largest trade fair of the Benelux in the field of industrial production techniques, processing and treatment of metals, plastics, accessories and tools.

From Tuesday 27 to Friday 30 September, the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht will be bursting with the latest industrial gadgets. Five worlds of technology and science (Automation, Laboratory, Electronics, Motion & Drives and Industrial Processing) will then form one World of Technology & Science.
