A new-look booth for an evolving industry
For Tire Technology Expo 2024, we’ve moved to our very own booth in Hall 21, providing a more centralized spot for networking, relaxation, and focused discussions in our executive meeting room.
As the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, we will have a large team on hand at the Expo to answer all your questions. We can also give you all the insights you’re looking for, based on our expertise in modern tire production with MES, reducing production downtime with AI, or increasing manufacturing efficiency using energy management.
This year, we’re also excited to introduce OTTO Motors, our latest AMR acquisition. OTTO’s Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) automate common material handling tasks, both large and small, enabling manufacturers to address labor shortages, scale their operations, and stay ahead in the competitive landscape.
So whether you’re a machine builder, new or existing customer, or an end-user, our team will be the starting point for your digital or automation journey.

Advanced AI/ML Capabilities for Efficiency and Quality in Tire Manufacturing - with Mithun Nagabhairava, Senior Manager, Data Science
In a landscape marked by significant labor shortages, hundreds of material compositions, and complexities inherent in tire manufacturing, maintaining consistent tire quality poses a formidable challenge due to variations in raw materials, production conditions, and rheological properties that affect material flow and behavior. However, advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) combined with well-established bedrock of optimal control theory can help address these challenges effectively. During this session, we'll delve into real-world examples showcasing how AI/ML technologies are transforming tire manufacturing, resulting in enhanced quality and efficiency. By leveraging advanced closed-loop optimization and machine vision capabilities, manufacturers optimize various stages of production, from mixing to final inspection.
What the audience will learn:
- Progressing towards Autonomous Tire manufacturing through AI integration.
- The role of AI capabilities at every step of the manufacturing process, including achieving optimal Mooney viscosity at mixing, ensuring consistent weight measurements during extrusion, reducing out-of-tolerance events at tire building machines, and optimizing vulcanization properties during curing.
- Best practices for the responsible deployment of AI capabilities in tire manufacturing, ensuring alignment with industry standards and ethical considerations.

How MES delivers a connected factory, end-to-end - with Bill Sarver, Director Smart Manufacturing, Global Automotive, Tire & Battery
The solution: a connected plant end-to-end with a full view into your operations, and with native data from software directly connected to visualize plant status. The result: faster delivery, lower cost, reduced risk and optimized production, all achieved at the fastest possible timescale.
Bill Sarver, Director Smart Manufacturing, Global Automotive, Tire & Battery, has 38 years of industry experience to share, across several manufacturing disciplines. He’ll be discussing how Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) are ideal for tire production, helping connect people to every facet of manufacturing operations, and enabling truly connected and engaged people and processes.
What the audience will learn:
- Understand challenges facing the tire industry.
- Understand what MES is and how it can impact your operations.
- See how other customers are utilizing MES and seeing results.
- Learn how MES can create the truly engaged factory worker.

Join us for the 23rd Tire Technology Expo, explore demonstrations of our data-driven solution, and book a meeting at our stand!
The Tire Technology Expo is Europe’s most important tire manufacturing technology exhibition and conference. The 23rd edition of the Expo is back to its usual spring date in Hannover in 2024, and is of greater importance than ever. Show founder Tony Robinson, who launched the associated magazine Tire Technology International in 1993, says, “Thirty-one years after we launched the magazine, we will have the privilege of running this expo for the 23rd time – and it’s set to be one of our best-ever shows."
