LAMIERA: THE SHAPE OF IDEAS TECHNOLOGIES AND SOLUTIONS FOR ANY NEED

From 15 to 18 May 2019, LAMIERA, the international exhibition dedicated to the industry of sheet metal forming machine tools and innovative technologies related to the sector, is back at fieramilano Rho.

After the success of the past edition, which also marked its debut in Milan and the date change to odd years, in 2019 LAMIERA will present a wider and renewed index of products, capable of meeting the needs of all operators in the sector.

In line with the extended transformation involving the whole world manufacturing industry, LAMIERA will propose a wide offering of technologies for integrated factories, showing the best international product ranges with regard to stand-alone machines and complex systems and completing the exhibition with a comprehensive overview of automation systems, robotics and technologies linked with the digital world and consulting.

Promoted by UCIMU-SISTEMI PER PRODURRE, the Italian machine tools, robots and automation systems manufacturers' association, and organised by CEU-CENTRO ESPOSIZIONI UCIMU, LAMIERA will combine the trade show of the sector with numerous initiatives of in-depth analysis and entertainment, in order to make the most of the presence of those who will be the key players of the 2019 edition.

In 2017, the exhibiting companies were 480, i.e. 25% more compared with the previous edition, with an occupied exhibit area of 40,000 square metres. The exhibition registered 23,579 visits, i.e. 15% more than those recorded a year before.

Machines, systems and equipment for the machining of sheet metal, tubes, sections, wire and metal structural work, presses, dies, welding, treatments and finishing, technical subcontracting and fasteners are just a few of the “traditional” technologies on show. In addition, there will be a wide and varied offering of robots, automation, enabling technologies and consulting. With such a wide selection of products, LAMIERA is really the place where ideas can take shape, paraphrasing the slogan chosen for the 2019 edition.

The only event in Italy dedicated to the sheet metal field, LAMIERA attracts visitors from all main user sectors that may here find a solution for their needs, from the simplest to the more complex ones.

The uniqueness of the event and its numerous side initiatives make the exhibition an unmissable occasion for the enterprises of the sector: for the big Italian and foreign manufacturers of machines, robots and automation; for the SMEs specialising in super-customised solutions; for subcontractors; for companies specialising in accessories and auxiliary technologies, but also for the players of the digital world and of consulting, whose presence is increasing within the sector.

Besides the traditional technological offering that has always characterised the exhibition, LAMIERA will present numerous innovation areas dedicated to specific fields and to new focuses on the digital world, robotics and consulting, increasingly present in the manufacturing industry.

ROBOT PLANET, the area focused on the field of robotics and automation that is deeply changing the working environment and methods and is contributing to redefining qualitative standards for the products manufactured and the processes adopted in the factories that work and process metals and sheet metal. Industrial robots, integrators, automation, control and vision systems, solutions for machine tending are just a few of the state-of-the-art technologies that will be presented at LAMIERA in the ROBOT PLANET area.

FABBRICAFUTURA, software and technologies for connectivity, for data management, analysis and security, for remote assistance and predictive maintenance will be among the focuses of the FABBRICAFUTURA area, which will document the digital transformation of machines and manufacturing systems in the sector.

BOXCONSULTING, is the space dedicated to consultants, integrators and professional trainers, where services will be proposed with regard to know-how, skills, certification, professional education and training. To simplify the dialogue between machine manufacturers and developers of digital technologies and, at the same time, to ensure the training of the staff employed in the factories: this is the essential focal point to activate the transformation of the SMEs into smart factories. It is also the real challenge for those who deal with business consulting and staff education and training, as well as with the BOX CONSULTING area.

FASTENER INDUSTRY is centred on screws, bolts, fastening and clamping systems, a sector in which Italy stands out, ranking second among manufacturers and third among consumers. Machinery, automotive, aerospace, transportation, furnishings and interior design, electric household appliances and construction are the main customer sectors of fasteners in Italy. These sectors are all represented among exhibitors and visitors of LAMIERA: therefore, this trade show is an event of interest to the operators of this industry.

ECOCOATECH, dedicated to the world of industrial painting and coating and their treatments and created in cooperation with Anver, Italian Association of Industrial Coaters, will present all the most innovative inter-operational processes for sheet metal painting and coating.

BLECH ITALY SERVICE, technical subcontracting and services for the industry of the sector are in the limelight of Blech Italy Service. In line with the evolution of the manufacturing industry that chooses more and more hybrid production models, combining manufacturing within the factory and outsourcing of some production processes, LAMIERA will propose, within Blech Italy Service, a parallel and alternative visit tour to the "Make" for manufacturers: the "Buy" regarding the suppliers of subcontracting and services, for those who wish to purchase semi-finished products and outsourced work.
