The fourth industrial revolution is transforming production processes. This topic explores the integration of cyber-physical systems, IoT, and AI in manufacturing. We will examine how these technologies facilitate predictive maintenance, flexible production, and circular economy practices. The workshops will focus on identifying trends in smart factories and how to implement these innovations effectively. Participants will collaborate on developing frameworks that address workforce dynamics and sustainability, ultimately enhancing competitive advantage and creating new value streams within the manufacturing sector. Additionally, we will conduct hands-on activities that allow participants to prototype solutions for integrating Industry 4.0 technologies into existing manufacturing processes. Emphasis will be placed on how to align manufacturing practices with broader sustainability goals and the role of innovation in driving operational efficiencies that benefit both the environment and organizational performance. Participants will also explore case studies of successful Industry 4.0 implementations and their impact on productivity and sustainability.
