The world’s leading trade fair with a global range of tools, machinery and equipment for woodworking and wood processing, LIGNA is all set to pave the way for research and development, as well as education and training, to a more sustainable and productive future for woodworking and wood processing. From May 15 to 19, 2023, the LIGNA.Campus format in Hannover will provide renowned technical colleges, universities of applied sciences and universities with the ideal platform for their diverse educational offerings and groundbreaking research findings.
The spectrum ranges from augmented reality-based learning and teaching tools to system development for the use of driverless transport robots.
LIGNA.Campus: The next Generation meets in Hall 11
The LIGNA.Campus at the world marketplace for the wood industry will be a visitor magnet for anyone with big plans in the woodworking and wood processing sectors. “With LIGNA.Campus we are creating a place where the next generation of wood industry professionals can find valuable support and encouragement, and benefit from leading-edge expertise,” says Stephanie Wagner, Head of LIGNA at Deutsche Messe AG. “Especially in times when major upheavals are taking place and everything is being put to the test, it is vital to focus on research and development, and above all on training and continuing education. The LIGNA.Campus therefore holds the tools for the challenging path to a more sustainable future for the industry.”
Food for thought
For example, the University of Applied Forest Sciences Rottenburg will be addressing concepts for the material use of hardwood at its booth D76 in Hall 11 and discussing with LIGNA.Campus participants the question of what sustainable ways there are to utilize hardwood. To this end, the university will be providing various illustrative scenarios of how chemical wood modification can be used, for example in the structural sector by developing beech cross-laminated timber, in exterior applications by replacing wood preservatives, and in instrument making for guitar fingerboards by substituting tropical woods with native hardwoods.
Fascinating Topics for further Education
At its booth E62 in Hall 11, the Fachschule Holztechnik Melle will inspire visitors with two fascinating topics for further education: AR technology and smart factories. In a project with the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and the “AdEPT” team, an augmented reality-based learning and teaching tool for in-company training and continuing education was created. Now that the developed software has been tested at Melle University of Applied Sciences, visitors to LIGNA 2023 can try out this cutting-edge technology and experience how anyone can use the application in a wide variety of ways in their day-to-day work.
The second advanced training topic – the Smart Factory – is about the buzzword “Industry 4.0” and about designing production so smartly that batch size one and the fulfillment of individual customer wishes become possible. In the development of this learning carrier with the name sfm, the aim was to show that wood technology is not limited to the topics of wood and wood materials, but that the technology should be seen and understood across all professions. Therefore, not only basic knowledge is deepened at the FH Melle, but also areas of activity are expanded.
