From Innovation to Implementation
With elements such as HMI, Industrial Edge Computing, and AI, industrial companies have access to an enormous range of technologies to solve current challenges and break into new business areas.
AI plays a key role here, such as in quality control, predictive maintenance, and process automation. But it is only in combination with other technologies that the real added value emerges. For example, when AI is combined with IoT data from networked production facilities or accelerates the evaluation of image material.
In this newsletter issue, you will find current best practice examples of technology combinations from successful digitization projects. You will also learn how dedicated teams are increasing manufacturing efficiency at VW's Speed+ Award and in the Mauritius industry. We hope you find it informative and inspiring.
Best regards
Your team from EFESO
