The knowledge program at the METAVAK 2024 trade fair will focus on the themes of sustainability, labor shortage, digitalization and automation. Thereby, the emerging role of Industry 4.0 will also receive special attention. The upcoming edition of METAVAK 2024 will take place on October 1, 2 and 3, 2024 in Evenementenhal Gorinchem. This year the event for metalworking professionals will be held simultaneously with Welding Week Powered by NIL, the trade event for joining techniques.

Industry 4.0 and opportunities for lateral entrants

Technical business training provider STODT shares their story about Industry 4.0 and the opportunities for lateral entrants into the market each exhibition day in the knowledge theater. The emerging role of Industry 4.0 brings with it a digital transformation. Smart technologies are becoming standard in production processes. Understanding completeness of digital data and achieving achievable tolerances are crucial for uninterrupted production. Relatedly, an integration of lateral entrants offers new opportunities for the machining industry to address the growing personnel shortage. Proper selection and targeted training are important for successful integration.

Work smarter and make more profit: how Smart Industry works for your business

At a time when digitalization is crucial for the competitiveness of SME manufacturing companies, Produmize and TNO are launching the third edition of their pioneering program "10x ready for Industry 4.0." TNO and Produmize will tell more about this in their daily presentation in the knowledge theater. "It is a misconception that the step to Smart Industry has to be big and expensive," says Jeroen Broekhuijsen, CTO Smart Industry at TNO. "Our program proves that by simply starting and targeted deployment you can achieve great results in a short time, even at minimal cost."

Staff solutions

The challenges of today and tomorrow are clear in the metalworking manufacturing industry, but on top of that comes the challenge of finding personnel. Therefore, from the marketing side, a knowledge session will be provided regarding labor market communication how the visiting SME can recruit personnel in an accessible way. Furthermore, in cooperation with Koninklijke Metaalunie Zuid-Holland, a Student Meet & Greet will be organized as well as a Job Fair.

METAVAK is a leading event in the metalworking manufacturing industry that brings together thousands of industry professionals each year in Evenementenhal Gorinchem. Free registration for admission tickets has been open since July 1. For more information: www.metavak.nl
