Industry 4.0 - Why Digitalisation is (Not) an IT projectWe are moving fast with the latest digital technologies and many companies are overwhelmed by the new opportunities and solutions provided. Many are struggling to turn all this into real benefits and lacking speed and clear decision making.
Adaption is more than ever required and traditional manufacturing need to be turned into an agile organisation. COVID-19 has increased the pressure on digital transformation.
What is agile manufacturing?
- Agile, which is the capability to adapt itself continuously to complex, turbulent and unsecure environment
- Leaders capable to lead and develop employees/teams to drive towards self-managed teams
- A future-oriented and attractive work environment focussed on high value activities
- Develop highly skilled employees capable to utilise new digital technology and be innovative problem solvers
- Employees acting on data and driving for improved utilisation of resources to harvest the benefits of digitalisation

MES in the Age of IIoT - What’s New and What are the Further Challenges?Today’s Manufacturing environment is characterized by personalized products in a highly competitive landscape. For companies to be successful production strategies need to be constantly renewed in order to assure less time to market, higher quality yields, less costs and faster processing and lead times. Fortunately, technology (like Mobile Computing, Advanced Analytics, Machine Learning, Virtual/ Augmented Reality, etc) exists today that enable all of those. However, this needs to be orchestrated. Traditional MES plays this role to connect and coordinate all of this.
- The critical new role of MES
- Things MES deliver for IIOT
- The new MES benefits in today’s manufacturing environment
- MES roadmap – How to capture process needs and technology scouting

Data Driven Strategies for Zero Defect Manufacturing
- Early detection of the defect (Z-DETECT)
- Prediction of the defect generation (Z-PREDICT)
- Prevention of defect generation by recalibrating the production line (multi-stage), as well as defect propagation in later stages of the production (Z-PREVENT)
- Reworking/remanufacturing of the product, if this is possible, (Z-REPAIR)
- Management of the aforementioned strategies through Semantic Data Modeling, quality performance monitoring and real-time decision support using Cognitive Digital Twins (Z-MANAGE)
