The hype around smart factories is fading, and reality is setting in. Automotive manufacturers have spent billions on digital transformation, but the real question now is: what is really working on the shopfloor? This livestream cuts through the noise to examine how leading OEMs and suppliers are deploying automation that genuinely delivers – systems that enhance human capability rather than gather dust. We will explore the intelligent technologies reshaping production lines today, from AI-driven quality control to digital twins that predict problems before they happen.
Key discussion areas:
● Cobots, AMRs, and the new automation toolkit – What is actually paying off in human-machine collaboration, and where are manufacturers still struggling to justify ROI?
● Digital twins that work – Moving beyond the noise to see how virtual commissioning is slashing downtime and accelerating line changeovers in real production environments
● Connected factories, not data chaos – Breaking down silos to build manufacturing ecosystems where machines, systems, and people talk to each other effectively
