IIoT plays a crucial role in enabling flexible manufacturing processes and empowering the connected worker in today’s industrial landscape. It allows greater flexibility in production processes, as machines can be reconfigured and optimized on the fly to meet changing demands. Moreover, IIoT facilitates the concept of the connected worker by providing employees with access to real-time data, insights, and instructions through wearable devices or mobile applications. This not only enhances worker productivity and efficiency but also improves safety and decision-making on the factory floor. Connected workers can receive alerts about potential issues, access training materials on-demand, and collaborate seamlessly with colleagues across different locations. This session will focus on:

• Which technologies can be used to solve the different Use Cases?
• What exactly is the role of IIoT in the Shopfloor itself?
• What are the challenges and the future of manufacturing with respect to new trends as AI in parcticular?
