automation, will occupy 56,000m 2 exhibition space, which makes it both bigger than Tube (31,000m 2 ) and wire (50,000m 2 ). Due to the co-staging of Metav, Tube will be relocated away from the usual halls of 2, 4 and 5, and instead be situated in the new halls 8 and 8b (currently under construction), and existing halls 6, 7 and 7a. In order to ensure a good flow of visitors to all the Tube halls, Messe Düsseldorf have decided to open the normally unused site entrance between halls 8 and 8b, giving direct access to Tube from adjacent parking lots. A total of 829 exhibitors participated in the last Tube in 2006. They occupied a net area of 31,653m 2 , with more than 28,000 trade visitors in attendance.
