Interwire 2021 Industry 4.0 Pavilion Showcases Smart Wire Manufacturing

The Interwire 2021 Industry 4.0 Pavilion will debut at the Interwire 2021 Trade Exposition on October 26–27, 2021, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. In this focused area, wire and cable producers can see how Industry 4.0 tools improve productivity, quality, and competitiveness.

Interwire 2021 Industry 4.0 Pavilion Highlights Key Technologies

The pavilion will show how machine learning, automation, artificial intelligence, big data, analytics, IoT, and predictive maintenance transform wire production. As a result, plants can cut downtime, improve process control, and make smarter data‑driven decisions.

In addition, the pavilion comes from a partnership between The Wire Association International (WAI) and Messe Düsseldorf North America (MDNA). Exhibitors and presenters include ADVARIS, Cimteq, Davis‑Standard, 40Factory SRL, InnoVites, MFL Group, MindSphere World Italia, Oden Technologies, Parsable, Rockwell Automation, Sikora, and TROESTER. Each company will offer concise displays and briefings that focus on practical factory improvements.

Expert Perspectives from Pavilion Organizers

Key organizer Richard Baker, Vice President of Engineering at Prysmian Group North America, notes that the pavilion will feature technical talks on “the latest technologies of the 4th Industrial Revolution.” He says companies will explain how Industry 4.0 applies directly to wire and cable production and how it can significantly improve equipment and process efficiency.

Meanwhile, Tom Mitchell, President of MDNA, looks forward to meeting attendees in person in Atlanta and stresses the value of seeing Industry 4.0 solutions live rather than only online.

Furthermore, organizer and exhibitor Willem Sundblad, Cofounder and CEO of Oden Technologies, calls the pavilion “an excellent opportunity to meet your customers, meet your suppliers, and network with your peers.” He encourages visitors to learn where to start their digital journey with Industry 4.0, since digitalization now sits on every manufacturing leader’s agenda.

Interwire 2021 Marks 40 Years of Wire Industry Networking
