7. Tri-national Industry 4.0 Technology Circle – Innovation and development in the region through the Upper Rhine competence network (EN/DE/FR)

The seventh Technology Circle focuses on use cases in the smart factory: A digital and analytics IIoT use case solves a problem for the user or increases productivity, efficiency, and convenience, mostly with the help of special software. It is differentiated from a normal “ongoing improvement” type of measure or activity by the following criteria:

  • Is significant in size
  • Is measurable in terms of impact
  • Requires investment and effort
  • Requires a decision to move ahead and allocate resources

When: 16.11.2021, 16:00 – 18:30

Program

16:00 Key note: Experientia Global SA
Mark Vanderbeeken, Founding Partner and CEODesigning for and with human operators in the factory of the future

The role of humans in the factory of the future is changing quickly: The work of human operators is moving from planning and performing manufacturing tasks to collaborating with machines, supervising operations, problem-solving, orchestrating innovative solutions and developing technology-based solutions.

Mark Vanderbeeken will elaborate on how to best design such new collaborative working processes, and provide a case study of how his company, Experientia, worked with a major industrial player on mapping out the customer journey and actors involved during an industrial maintenance process, particularly with regards to error diagnosis and restoration processes when a production line goes down. Experientia defined the precise combination of user and system-generated content that continuously improves according to daily incoming data about maintenance operations, and then developed an AR solution that implements this operationally.
16:20 Use Case: BLP Digital AG

Thore Harmuth, Co-Founder & CCO

ERP Process Automation. Out of the Box.

How to gain value-added time and free up employees when AI processes all incoming ERP documents.

Using real-world examples, we show how the AI-based technology developed at ETH relieves SMEs in document processing. Our software solution:

  • Holistic solution, seamlessly connecting across divisions. Sales, Procurement, Logistics and Accounting
  • Ability to handle inconsistent and incomplete data
  • Standard integrations with major ERP’s for onboarding of new customers within days

The back-office revolution has begun because technology has reached the level of maturity needed to fully automate document processes end-to-end.
16:40  Use Case: Astrée Software

Combine IoT and Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to make the most of shop floor data

  • How to fully leverage the vast amount of data generated by IIoT?
  • Contextual information?
  • MES real-time data enrichment and sharing processes?

Because the IIoT does not only integrate a hardware dimension but adds also a lot of software and must be combined with a real-time system: the MES.
