Editorial: “Achieving transformation through technology”

This time, as you will have noticed, VDE dialog itself has also changed. After a good twelve years in which we have made cosmetic adjustments from time to time, it was high time to give the magazine a complete overhaul. We have not only modernized it visually, but have also freshened up the content. You will notice this when you leaf through the front “Spectrum” pages, for example, which are now much clearer and also offer more interesting insights into the topics of our time. But we've also made some changes to the “Compact” pages at the back. In future, we would like to get closer to you, our readers. We want to take the title of the magazine at its word and enter into a dialog with you: what moves you? What did you like? What did we perhaps not do so well this time? Let us know what you think – you can get started right away by writing to dialog@vde.com! Of course, we are also very interested in what you think of our “transformed” VDE dialog.

One thing that has remained the same is that we take a particularly close look at one topic in each issue. This time it’s robotics, where there has been considerable progress in recent years – but also developments that are not just cause for boundless optimism. I hope you find it an interesting and stimulating read!

Yours, Regina Schnathmann, Head of Brand, Marketing and Communication at VDE
