Voices, people in suits, loud machines - the Blechexpo at the Messe Stuttgart is in full swing. The green "on air" signal on the TRUMPF stand lights up, the countdown is on - in just a few seconds, the so-called Smart Factory Forum live to Chicago.

Why Chicago? There, the director of the new TRUMPF Smart Factory, Tobias Reuther, is waiting for the green light. He will be presenting the digitally networked technology center in Chicago to trade fair visitors in Stuttgart - live. The demonstration center in the TRUMPF Headquater in Ditzingen, just a few kilometers from Blechexpo, is also networked with the exhibition stand. Visitors to the fair can see pictures from the interior space of the TruLaser Center 7030 in Ditzingen.
Networked production is the big topic at Blechexpo.

From consulting services to automation to fully digitally networked production - four TRUMPF experts answer questions from moderator Chris Brow.
