About the keynote speech
Industry 4.0 captures the ‘Industrial Internet of Things’, automation, digitisation and individualisation in a factory … the smart factory.
Applying Industry 4.0 should help a company answer the following:
- How more information about your customer can lead to more efficient production;
- How digitisation of production leads to more individualised products;
- And how a new dimension in networking ability enhances our collaboration productivity.
In the end, the question becomes: what (new) business models can we enable with the smart factory? And how do we manage the transition?
Robin Kleer, Vlerick Professor of Innovation Management, is eager to tell you all about his future vision, which is unfolding today.
