BNEW Digital Industry

Production has been revolutionized in recent years by the new advances in technology. In smart factories, new actors will come into play, such as vision systems to quickly identify errors or defects before they affect the entire production line. This will lead to significant improvements in quality and safety and will play an important role in the lean transformation. Another key technology advance will be autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), which have the power to create huge efficiencies by automating repetitive tasks. This session will analyze the role of new technologies in smart production. It will also discuss the importance of Digital Twins, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality, Wearables, 3D Printing, Cobots, Autonomous Guided Vehicles (VGAs) to improve manufacturing.
