Algorithms, robots, model-based rules, and state-of-the-art sensor technology combined with artificial intelligence (AI) are already being used or implemented in the Group’s production plants. The consistent push toward the digital transformation enables selective collection and analysis of all relevant data and, ultimately, fully-integrated process routes that can be managed much more efficiently. Downtimes and production stoppages are reduced, operating personnel is supported, and product quality is stable at a high level or even enhanced.
