Forskning

Smart cybernetic manufacturing aims for flexible and adaptive manufacturing operations locally or globally by using integrated technologies that can combine the advanced computing power with manufacturing equipment. It depends on the timely acquisition, distribution, and utilisation of information from machines and processes from manufacturing shop floors and across product lifecycles. Effective information sharing can improve production quality, reliability, resource efficiency and the recyclability of end-of-life products. Smart cybernetic manufacturing built on digitalisation aims for better sustainability and contributes to factories of the future.
