The future of manufacturing is digital. Join us at the second Digital Factory conference to meet the innovators at the forefront of the manufacturing revolution: executives, investors, and technical experts who are leading the way on digitization. Discover strategies for implementing additive manufacturing, connected machinery, advanced automation, AI-driven design, intelligent supply chains, and mass customization.
Warum digitalisieren produzierende Betriebe die Herstellung? Wie ermöglicht Digitalisierung Nachhaltigkeit in der industriellen Produktion? Wem nützt KI-getriebenes Design? In zweiten Ausgabe der Konferenz „The Digital Factory“ diskutieren Vorreiter aus Industrie und Forschung, wie sie Produktionsprozesse in einen digitalen Workflow verwandeln.
Space is limited, and last year’s Digital Factory conference sold out.
Register by April 26 for special advance pricing.
