THEMATIC CONFERENCES
25 october 2022
Development trends, opportunities and barriers of robotisation
of the european industry
Automation and robotization of production processes is a critical factor for carrying out an effective digital transformation in industry. An enterprise which fails to make such a transformation is likely to disappear from the global market sooner or later. The benefits derived from automation and robotisation are indubitably of comprehensive nature: reduction in manufacturing and logistics costs, significant shortening of technological times, increase in production precision, quality and scalability, improvement in cybersecurity, particularly in relation to sensitive data, as well as many other factors responsible for efficient operation and functioning of an enterprise. Simultaneously, implementing automation and robotisation of production processes poses a number of challenges to industry – starting from technological problems, through financial limitations and ending up with competences of managerial staff and specialists.
The methods of overcoming such challenges are going to be the main subject of the session held within the framework of the thematic track of CETEF’22 dedicated to automation and robotisation, which includes full-day conference organised in cooperation with the world’s leading producers of manufacturing plant automation solutions and technological leaders, i.e. KUKA and FANUC .
