GMF news - World Trade Fair Guide. Turin, November 4, 2019 From 14 to 17 October 2020, fieramilano Rho will be the stage for the 32nd edition of BI-MU, the most important Italian exhibition dedicated to the industry of metal forming and metal cutting machine tools, additive and digital manufacturing, robots and automation, enabling technologies and subcontracting. It is the only trade show in Italy related to the sector that has a real international appeal.
Promoted by UCIMU-SISTEMI PER PRODURRE, the Italian machine tools, robots and automation systems manufacturers' association, and organised by EFIM-ENTE FIERE ITALIANE MACCHINE, 32.BI-MU will present a renewed technological index of products, covering all solutions regarding the factory of the future and a lot of new entertainment and thematic insight projects, conceived to make the most of the presence of the operators attending the exhibition.
Metal forming and metal cutting machine tools, additive manufacturing, robots, automation, auxiliary and enabling technologies, subcontracting, powertrain and fluid-power systems, mechatronics, surface finishing treatments, tools, components, equipment and accessories, metrology and welding, IoT, Big Data, analytics, Cyber Security, Cloud Computing, Augmented Reality and system integrators, vision systems, software, solutions for industrial material handling and warehouse management: these are only a few of the technologies on show at 32.BI-MU.
After over 60 years of exhibition evolution following the technological transformation of the sector, today BI-MU is more and more a meeting point between production systems and digital world.
After all, data management and interconnection of machines are crucial factors for a sustainable management of production cycles in a factory, which translates to higher profitability, smart use of resources and enhancement of safety systems, according to the approach of circular economy that will be among the hot topics of 32.BI-MU.
Energy streamlining of machines, optimization of production downtime, modular design in the designing phase , predictive maintenance: these are only a few of the technological issues that will make their debut at 32.BI-MU, together with integrated solutions for industrial material handling, warehouse management and storage of goods, thus enriching the event with new contents.
For the edition number 32 of BI-MU, the organisers have worked on several new initiatives that will increase exhibitors' and visitors' appeal of BI-MU. Indeed, in this edition, the exhibition will include two new sectors, which are inherently contiguous and complementary to that of machine tools: the logistics sector will occupy BI-MULogistics, a special area developed in cooperation with INTRALOGISTICA ITALIA, and the sector of technical subcontracting and services for the industry will be hosted in the new SUB4TECH, an area promoted by CIS-Comitato Interassociativo Subfornitura, (Interassociative Subcontracting Committee).
In addition, there will be FABBRICAFUTURA, the area of BI-MU that will host developers of software and technologies for connectivity and for data management and safety; ROBOT PLANET, an innovation area supported by SIRI (Italian Robotics and Automation Association) and centred on industrial and collaborative robots, integrators and automation systems; BOX CONSULTING, a space reserved for consultants and integrators; BI-MU STARTUPPER, an area dedicated to young innovators and new enterprises, involved in the development of products and projects linked to the world of production systems and metalworking; BI-MU ADDITIVE, a space developed by AITA-ASSOCIAZIONE ITALIANA TECNOLOGIE ADDITIVE (Italian Association of Additives Technologies) and intended as a place where developers, manufacturers and customers of "machine tools of the third kind" can meet and exchange views; FOCUS MECHATRONICS, the traditional area organised in cooperation with AIdAM (Italian Association of Automation and Mechatronics) and IMVG (Italian Machine Vision Group) to host "smart solutions", capable of optimising machinery management and industrial processes; THE WORLD OF SURFACE FINISHING AND TREATMENTS, a thematic area - sponsored by Anver (Italian Association of Industrial Coaters) - reserved for the most qualified offering of machines and systems for surface finishing and treatments.
Another great novelty of 32.BI-MU is BI-MUpiłDigital, a demonstration space promoted by Fondazione UCIMU in cooperation with MindSphere World Italia and set up within one of the exhibition halls to show the potential of a digital factory, by connecting several machines displayed at different stands, where it will be possible to observe their operation and processing.
Following on from the success of the past edition, again in 2020, BI-MU will combine its exhibition with a thematic, in-depth cultural analysis, developed through a programme of conferences on specific topics and through side events that will propose discussions with opinion leaders and presentations of technologies related to the sector. The protagonists of the events, mainly addressed to visitors, will also be the Exhibitors, who can be involved on the stage in special initiatives, insight opportunities focused on issues linked to the world of the manufacturing industry and ad hoc meetings to encourage the sharing of know-how. This and much more will be the content performed within the arena of BI-MUpił and BI-MUpiłAdditive, which will offer the international public many more reasons to take part in this biennial Exhibition.
In anticipation of 32.BI-MU, the organisers have planned a calendar of approaching events taking place in some of the major industrial areas in Italy, which will partially anticipate the main technological issues analysed during BI-MUpił in the exhibition days.
The programme of approaching events and the information concerning participation and details of the exhibition will soon be available on bimu.it.
