Despite the difficult market situation, all of the more than 800 exhibitors and almost 40,000 visitors are aware of one thing: standing still is a step backwards. Especially in difficult market conditions, strategic alliances have proven to be essential for continued success in the past.

The Wolfsburg AG (organizer of the IZB) focused on this topic under the motto "Empowering Partnerships". In addition to new technologies and their faster integration into development and production processes, aspects of sustainability were among the topics intensively discussed at the IZB. Summarized in the "innovations@IZB" report, technical solutions are available to meet the challenges of future mobility. For the first time, the German magazine Automobilwoche selected the 25 "Products to watch by Automobilwoche" from these innovations:

Our VIN Marker with Safetycone was included in this selection. The innovative solution for VIN engraving is not only economical and effective, but also focuses on occupational safety and space savings.

Special attention was also given to the partnership with Cognex. The Cognex Corporation is, among other things, a provider of industrial reading devices and an established brand in many production lines. Together with Trotec, the cooperation partners offer a standardized process solution for secure, efficient and, above all, scalable VIN marking. This is made possible by Trotec's powerful VIN marker and Cognex's all-in-one In-Sight 3800 vision system, but the DataMan 280 is also the ideal camera complement for smaller integration lasers such as the InMarker.
