The European Chamber is delighted to introduce the Members In-House event format. This format offers Chamber members the option to utilize our office facilities and marketing channels to present their products and services. The European Chamber welcomes Freudenberg IT Asia for this Member In-House event.
The topic of Industry 4.0 is attracting a great deal of attention, especially with particularly innovative medium-sized manufacturing companies in China and the US. Interestingly enough, although Germany has by far contributed the most to its development, China and the USA appear to be pursuing Industry 4.0 much more actively.
During this European Chamber Members In-house event, Freudenberg IT Asia will give an overall introduction to Industry 4.0, the demand in China, and an outlook into the future of Industry 4.0 in China. It will be explained why Chinese companies are targeting / should target for innovation in production, which challenges are associated to it, and how first steps towards Industry 4.0 can be achieved. The session will be concluded with information on trends in IT relating to Industry 4.0 and a Q&A session.
