JULY 20246MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY INSIGHTSThe gear technology landscape in Europe is undergoing transformative changes due to advancements in automation, material science, and digital integration. These developments are transforming the manufacturing process of gears and their integration into various applications, from automotive to industrial machinery. The push towards electrification remains a leading trend in gear technology. With the European Union's goal of reducing carbon emissions, there is a significant shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) and e-mobility solutions. This advancement is driving gear manufacturers to innovate with higher precision and efficiency to meet the unique demands of electric drivetrains.The integration of advanced robotics, cobots (collaborative robots), and automated material handling systems is on the rise. The principles of Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are being increasingly adopted, leading to smart factories with interconnected machines and real-time data analytics that reduce downtime and enhance quality control. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) also impact gear manufacturing and design by optimizing production processes, improving design accuracy, and enhancing supply chain management. In addition, European manufacturers are increasingly adopting environmentally friendly practices, such as using energy-efficient machinery and reducing waste in production processes.This edition, Gear Tech 2024, showcases Wikov Group, distinguished by its rich heritage and deep-seated expertise in mechanical engineering, is among the featured companies.
