Panel Discussion: Wie gelingt der erfolgreiche Einsatz von KI und offenen Schnittstellen für eine flexible, sichere und messbar effiziente Produktion?

Industrieunternehmen stehen unter dem Druck, ihre Fertigung effizienter, resilienter und nachhaltiger zu gestalten — gleichzeitig steigen die Anforderungen an Qualität, Geschwindigkeit und Individualisierung. Künstliche Intelligenz, flexible Schnittstellen und modulare Architekturen versprechen enorme Effizienzgewinne, doch die Implementierung ist oft komplex: Datenqualität, IT-Sicherheit, Kosten-Nutzen-Abwägung und die Akzeptanz im Shopfloor-Team müssen in Einklang gebracht werden. Die Diskussionsrunde beleuchtetRead more
