Driving the Future of Smart Welding – Together with MetaFacturing

From September 15–19, 2025, SCHWEISSEN & SCHNEIDEN returns to MESSE ESSEN – this time with an even stronger focus on digitalization, sustainability, and intelligent automation. Under the motto “Join the Future”, the global welding industry meets to shape what’s next. And one of the key innovation drivers on site: the MetaFacturing project.

MetaFacturing

The EU-funded MetaFacturing initiative brings together leading industrial and research partners with one shared goal: To develop a fully digital, AI-supported toolchain for metal part production – making it more resilient, sustainable, and intelligent.

The project focuses on:

  • Real-time data fusion and smart process simulation
  • Integration of digital twins for automated inspection and control
  • Efficient use of recycled materials and less waste
  • Accelerated time-to-market and higher-quality parts

As one of the core technology partners, VITRONIC plays a vital role in enabling inline inspection and real-time process feedback. Our advanced weld seam inspection system, VIRO WSI, connects directly to digital twin environments – allowing dynamic control and optimization across the production line.
