On May 18-19, Fraunhofer IPA was the host of the closing event of Lernreise Industrie 4.0 live. The format is organized by the company macils and brings together more than 100 executives from German, Austrian and Swiss industrial companies for the exchange on Industrie 4.0 and deep-dive workshops. Bosch and Fraunhofer are leading partners of the Lernreise Industrie 4.0 live. After two years of various meetings, this event was the final highlight. In contrast to other years and due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the event had to be streamed from a meeting room turned into a TV studio. I contributed with a pitch and a workshop on lean production systems 4.0 as well as with various use cases broadcasted live from the Future Work Lab by my colleagues.

Study on lean production systems 4.0

Published:

In Summer 2020, we have launched our two-staged study on the digital transformation of lean production systems with German industrial manufacturers. The first stage was an online survey with over 70 participants. For a detailed analysis of scientific hypotheses, the second stage of the study is set up with 18 expert interviews with professionals from leading German manufacturers such as Volkswagen, Audi, Siemens, Bosch, and Schaeffler until December 2020. The study was published in April 2021 by Fraunhofer IPA and is partly financed by the Future Work Lab project.
