The event introduced “Industry 5.0: Factory of the Future”, controlled by 5G, to the manufacturing industry in Turkey. Organised by Hannover Fairs Turkey, the representative of Hannover Messe in the regional market, WIN Eurasia was held for the 29 th time, with the motto “Industries meet diversity”. The event strengthened its international identity with the participation of Germany, Taiwan, China and Korea pavilions. Companies in the welding and robotic welding industry, logistics and supply chain management launched their newest products, and in the Starkgen generator display area progressive energy solutions in the critical and FLYMCA SL FLYMCA Is a worldwide engineering and manufacturing company that builds rotating equipment with advanced technical solutions for the wire and cable industry. In recent years, it has specialised in large stranding, cabling, screening and armouring customised machines, mainly for the production of submarine and offshore cables. The company identified high demand for large stranding and armouring machin ery to produce submarine cables, and is ready to respond to customer requests, adapting its designs for each project. Armouring is achieved in two different configurations: large tubular stranders with bullhead configuration, mainly used for fibre optic submarine cables; and large planetary armouring lines for TBC Double acquisition Automotive supplier Delfingen has announced two acquisitions in the strategic industrial cabling and textile protection markets for mobility and industry – the companies Reiku and AHN Chem. Delfingen has acquired 85 per cent of Reiku GmbH, a German company founded in 1969 that specialises in the protection of industrial applications (robotics and automation). This will

At the Metaverse Conference, it was estimated that 19.8bn devices will communicate with IoT in 2023, rising to 125bn via IoT and 5G by 2030. The next edition of WIN Eurasia will be held at Istanbul Expo Center from 5 to 8 June 2024. Hannover Fairs Turkey Fuarcılık AS www.hmist.com.tr FLYMCA machines have incorporated recent developments that can reduce stopping and changeover time, as well as reducing operator intervention to improve safety. These improvements include accumulators to allow continuous operation; automatic loading and unloading systems to load and unload bobbins simultaneously; and automatic cable-end cutting and taping with automatic changeover from one take-up to the other. While focusing on these specialised machines, FLYMCA has also continued to produce equipment for aerial cable, railway and other traditional markets, such as steel ropes.

The Smart Production with Metaverse scenario showed a simulation of control systems and robots in the industrial production line, communicating over 5G in an integrated way with Metaverse. demo applications exhibited in the Industry 4.0 Pavilion, Digital Factories Special Area, 5G Arena and 5G & Industry Forum Area were followed closely by visitors Technology, events and allow Delfingen to accelerate its diversification in the field of industrial applications, which is one of its priority development areas. The company has also acquired 100 per cent of AHN Chem Co Ltd, a Korean company located in the city of Gyeongsan that specialises in textile sheaths and heat shields for the protection of electrical harnesses, tubes and hoses. This operation will enable Delfingen to strengthen its position with Korean manufacturers In addition to the increased demand for submarine cables, there is demand for large cross-section conductors (127 wires) produced on rigid stranders. These stranders include automatic loading systems, shaped wire stranding heads, heavy compaction systems, and water-blocking application devices for yarn and powder, enabling the machines to provide consistent and smooth tension control across all the elements. heavy power transmission cables. These are produced on heavy-duty machines with a high number of wires, based on single- or double-layer design (up to 208 wires, or more in some cases). They are applied by a single cage or dual cage working in tandem operation. The machines also include automatic loading systems to reduce the changeover time.
