Foreword
6th International Conference "Digital Factory@Production" - Two worlds merge -
In 2009 the 5th international conference "Digital Factory" demonstrated that the planning tools of the Digital Factory have found their way into automotive production planning processes. Furthermore, various speakers already presented expansions, above all towards virtual commissioning and the visualisation of production-related features of the production equipment and the product proper. Building upon this trend, this year´s conference, which takes place on November 9 and 10, 2010, in Fulda, will focus on this expansion of the Digital Factory´s functionality. Several speakers will discuss the influence the Digital Factory should take onto the products proper - an influence that is exercised already in the early concept phases of new products. Further presentations of the conference will deal with new approaches and applications that have been developed to dovetail the Digital Factory with the real factory and to integrate it into the corporate systems landscape.
The conference has proven its worth as a neutral platform for a close exchange of information and as a triggering event for further development activities. Listen to the reports on the application of methods and tools of the Digital Factory presented by the OEMs and their suppliers, but also by pioneering companies of every size which have been able to tap the cost-cutting potential of the Digital Factory.
The invition to this conference aims at all those who have successfully introduced the Digital Factory in their companies. Those who are considering implementing the Digital Factory in their companies or who have not yet discovered its benefits will get a good overview of the planning support the Digital Factory offers.
The members of the Advisory Committee of the Digital Factory as well as the organisers from "Automobil-Produktion" and "mic" are looking forward to welcoming you on November 9 and 10, 2010, in Fulda.
