The development and integration of user-friendly robotics and automation technology is a key factor in improving efficiency and ensuring quality assurance in small and medium-sized enterprises. On 2 June 2025, the 5th Welding Technology Networking Meeting took place in the welding laboratory at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences. It was organised by AVANCE Personal-Service GmbH – in particular Mario Meyer and Matthias Hofmann – and the Chair of Automated Joining Processes and Simulation, headed by Professor Julia Zähr. The more than 50 participants from regional companies, research institutions and students demonstrate the ongoing interest in innovative welding technology solutions and an in-depth exchange of ideas.

Afterwards, several regional companies and research institutions presented their products, areas of activity and potential career opportunities to the interested students.
