Rising labor costs, high quality requirements, increasing diversity of customer needs, requests for ever-shorter lead times – these challenges are ever harder to tackle with traditional production methods. The solution is the Intelligent Factory, which combines Lean production principles, modularized products and the application of Industry 4.0 elements.
In this event our speaker will explain the main aspects of Intelligent Factory: Lean – High Tech – Modularization – Leadership and how this “Intelligence” is being expressed. He will also analyse how Industry 4.0 and the use of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) is revolutionizing production by enabling communication between humans, machines and products and what the prerequisites and challenges for implementing Industry 4.0 are.
Participants will:
- Understand how your factory, your product and the relations to your suppliers and customers need to change in order to achieve the goal of an Intelligent Factory
- Learn about how “Intelligence” expresses itself in an Intelligent Factory
- See some KPIs you can use to measure “Intelligence”
- Understand what role Industry 4.0 plays in the context of an Intelligent Factory
- See practical examples that illustrate different aspects of an Intelligent Factory and Industry 4.0 elements
