ANNUAL PROGRAMME 2017
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES ON CAR BODY MANUFACTURING, PAINTING AND ASSEMBLY
www.automotive-circle.com
In co-operation with
more than
20 OEM PARTNER
ENGINEER-ORIENTED TECHNICAL PRESENTATIONS on latest developments,
insights and experiences presented by experts from leading international OEM, trail-
blazing system suppliers and important research institutes, at a high professional level.
COMPETENT PROFESSIONAL EXCHANGE and intensive networking in the
internationally leading network of automotive engineers from pre-development,
development, planning and production.
“HANDS-ON” EXAMINATION OF NEWEST TECHNOLOGIES, often by means of
body-in-white, component and full vehicle presentations directly on-site, in some cases
in connection with exclusive visits to OEM production facilities.
These are our trademarks which have been documenting, discussing and benchmarking
advances and trends in automobile series production and engineering for more than 30
years. In cooperation with more than 100 OEM engineering experts, the Automotive Circle
events annually shows the established state of the art of all key topics in the automotive
industry – starting from car body manufacturing to car body painting and finalized by
automobile final assembly. Furthermore, the conferences think outside the box and give a
content-related and profound forecast on future developments.
Be part of our network in 2017 –
we look forward to your participation and your active contribution!

ON-SITE!
In our car body engineering conferences, you will experience the entire range of possibilities: from the
material concept to parts production in the tool shop, press plant and foundry to body shop assembly, from
concept development to process optimization, from virtual modeling to physical quality control. And the overall
picture is provided, when OEM from around the world present their current-model-year car body developments
at the EuroCarBody, facing up to their critical assessment by an international expert audience.

The constant strive for maximum productivity and profitability is an integral part of daily life in the automo-
tive industry. In addition, especially for automotive paint shops, today’s time is shaped by the careful use of
natural resources – energy, water, raw materials and supplies. In 2017 two conferences on car body painting
are devoted to high-quality body surfaces, special colour effects as well as the corresponding processes,
systems and legal constraints. Here, the Automotive Circle assembles the leading European and international
network of automotive car body painting engineers, and also provides newcomers to the field with the chance
to learn about current technological developments. Experts discuss future challenges for automotive
surface treatment and define the basis for a sweeping design of sustainable paint shops.

Managing complexity is the key issue of automotive final assembly: it is characterized by a large num-
ber of individual processes, by increasing product variety, with its consequent high logistic demands, by
spatial limitations and by a low degree of automation. Significant progress in efficiency is then often the
result of many, seemingly small steps or the introduction of robot-assistance technologies, so-called
“human-robot-collaboration”. Achieving an efficient, intelligent, ergonomic deployment of highly motivat-
ed employees on the line – the most important asset in final assembly for every OEM – within an optimized
organizational structure, is a key route to innovation. Two Automotive Circle-conferences are devoted to
final assembly in 2017.
