President Obama and Chancellor Merkel showed great interest in the Industry 4.0 Cockpit at the Weidmuller exhibit.

The U.S. was Partner Country at the 2016 Hannover Messe, the world’s most important trade fair focused on industrial technology. Companies from around the world exhibited their solutions for integrated industry at the Hannover Exhibition Center and had the opportunity to meet potential business partners during the week long April event. President Barack Obama had the honor of opening Hannover Messe and visited the exhibition with German Chancellor, Angela Merkel.

The two leaders visited the exhibits of several companies that are highly respected for their outstanding industrial technology solutions, including Weidmuller. Dr. Peter Köhler, CEO of the Weidmuller Group said, “This visit is an honor for us and at the same time a distinct recognition that our efforts and innovations concerning Industry 4.0 are not only very well received by our customers, but also by the public sector.”

A sample application demonstrated how the central control of a production facility of the future could look. It combined, into a single exhibit, the wide range of Industry 4.0 solutions. The Weidmuller Cockpit exhibited technical systems networking capabilities as well as other integrated solution approaches for customers.
