Under the theme “Realizing an Intelligent, Sustainable and Connecting World,” Delta presented its unique capabilities to foster smart manufacturing and sustainable cities at Hannover Messe 2024. The showcase featured a new generation of collaboration robots (cobots) for smart factory automation applications, and a new 500kW DC ultra-fast charger for traditional and heavy-duty electric vehicles (EV).Delta unveiled groundbreaking solutions for smart manufacturing and e-Mobility at Hannover Messe 2024.
Dalip Sharma, President and General Manager of Delta Electronics EMEA, said, “Delta’s dedication to sustainability is intricately woven into our innovative solutions and business model, mirroring Europe’s net-zero endeavours. Moreover, our proactive sustainability measures, such as our Internal Carbon Pricing system, have been crucial for Delta’s factories, R&D centres, and offices in EMEA to achieve RE100 in 2023. We are also proud to demonstrate our new factory digital twin, developed on the NVIDIA Omniverse™ platform, for our smart production demo lines.”
Across the approximately 400-square-meter Delta booth, visitors engaged on a journey into the world of intelligent infrastructure across three sectors: Intelligent Industry, Smart Energy Infrastructure, and ICT Infrastructure.
Transformation to smart factory
Michael Mayer-Rosa, Senior Director, Industrial Automation Business Group at Delta Electronics EMEA, said, “Leveraging our deep-rooted expertise in machine, process, and factory automation, we’re honoured to unveil Delta’s D-Bot series cobots at Hannover Messe 2024.” Delta’s cobots are engineered for swift deployment and straightforward operation, offering plug-and-play functionality alongside intuitive programming. This innovation significantly bolsters Delta’s capabilities in smart factory automation, directly catering to the industry’s urgent requirements for adaptability and efficiency. Furthermore, the cobot portfolio boasts payload capacities up to 30kg, reach spans as long as 1800mm, and compatibility with EtherCAT, CODESYS, and Modbus to ensure optimal levels of precision, in applications such as pick & place, palletizing, and welding.

In March, Delta joined NVIDIA GTC, a global AI conference. With a digital twin developed on NVIDIA Omniverse, Delta simplified the simulation process of tray and object detection on a demo robotic line by consolidating the 3D data of diverse equipment. The result on the demo line was an increase in the synthetic data generation capabilities. The solution saves time to plan and optimize factory operations before actual production starts.
Energy transition for grid challenges
Delta supports the world’s current energy transition with its comprehensive Smart Energy Infrastructure solutions, including PV inverters, energy storage systems, a variety of AC and DC EV chargers, and an advanced EV Charging Management System. At Hannover Messe, the Company demonstrated a fast-charging station application, including the brand new 500kW DC heavy-duty EV charger, the UFC 500, designed for fleet and public charging, and the DeltaGrid® EVM. This integration, complemented by Delta’s smart energy solutions, illustrated the Company’s commitment to alleviating grid stress from the fast-growing demand for fast EV charging.
The new Delta 500kW DC ultra-fast EV charger was a highlight during Hannover Messe 2024.
Strong information & communications infrastructure in the age of digital transformation
At Hannover, Delta also showcased its readiness to be the partner in establishing a solid information & communications infrastructure, featuring complete ICT solutions, from prefabricated to edge data centres, and 5G telecommunication infrastructure, all designed for optimal efficiency, reliability, and scalability. These solutions are enabling higher energy efficiency and productivity in critical applications in the era of IIoT and digital transformation.
