Tube and wire show in Iran relocated
THE relocation of the Iran Wire trade
show to the new, state-of-the-art
exhibition centre Exhibiran International
Fairground, which is currently under
construction, has now been agreed.
The Aria Group, owner and organiser
of Iran Wire, will be holding this high-
profile technology trade fair for the first
time at the new exhibition centre. Fifteen
exhibition halls are being created in
Tehran, of which three have already
been completed: A6, A5 and A4.
Relocation of the trade fair to the new
hall, A6, will mean a postponement, so
Iran Wire will now be held from 6 to 9
December 2017. It is the only Iranian
trade fair for wire, cables, pipes, tubes,
profiles and accessories.
Any European or international
companies interesting in selling their
wire and tube products on the Iranian
market will find Iran Wire an attractive
entry point into the markets of the Middle
East. They will be given professional
support by the Messe Düsseldorf
exhibition professionals in organising
their participation.
Acting under a joint contract, Messe
Düsseldorf GmbH will be the first and
only sales partner of Iran Wire with re-
sponsibility for organising all German
and international company participa-
tions. This makes it a single point of
contact for all businesses in the wire,
cable, pipe and tube industries seeking
to access the promising Iranian market.
Messe Düsseldorf is handling a wide
range of organisational areas, from
registration to stand design, ensuring
smooth operations at the exhibition
centre.
Demand from companies has been
enthusiastic and the exhibition space
reserved so far (1,500m2) in Hall A6 is
almost fully booked.
Interested companies are advised to
talk to the relevant contacts at Messe
Düsseldorf as soon as possible – Cem

Using big data and ar tificial intelligence
to control surface quality
THE need for higher quality indexes in
wire rod and hot rolled bars and tubes
is increasing.
Customers no longer accept only
statistical classification. Nowadays, they
also demand the exact location and type
of surface defects that the material may
present.
In theory there are different methods
for identifying hot rolling defects, but
in practice, only two currently have an
industrial application: eddy current and
artificial vision.
The integration of both, from a purely
mechanical point of view, is feasible,
but also presents difficulties in the
algorithms and patterns used for real-
time identification. In the end, these are
two methods that could be considered
as “senses of the same brain”.
The artificial vision would be
equivalent to the eyes and the eddy
current to the hands. So, the difference
is the brain.
ISEND has developed artificial
intelligence and big data solutions for the
accurate identification of defects in hot
rolling in real time and for the analysis
and characterisation of the same at any
time.
These solutions integrate data
from two methods, which in the future
may be increased – such as induced
currents and artificial vision, processed,
stored and reprocessed so that the
accuracy in identifying serious defects
is increasingly fast and accurate. All
this is done without conditioning the
statistical information of the defects.
In the EDDYeyes solution, ISEND
provides sophisticated mechanical and
software equipment aimed at solving
the main problems of hot rolling in real
time, and in addition determining their
origin. In this way perpetual results
are obtained with scope and validity of
benefit to the users.
