Automotive OEMs and suppliers aim to transform existing and new factories into a new generation of smart factories that produce vehicles sustainably. With the convergence of digitalisation and electrification, manufacturing engineers are reimagining production flows, redesigning layouts and supplier processes, and using connected equipment and visibility across plants to build up digital twins to both anticipate issues and simulate different scenarios, speeding up production changes.

In this session, learn more about the cutting-edge technologies, partnerships and the simple steps Europe’s industry is taking to future-proof factories and quicken the rollout of new technology, battery and EV production.
