When discussing the challenges that Europe is facing and the sustainability of today´s practices, Indtech 2022 is the place to be.

🧑🏼‍🎤They were three days of non-stop ideas about improving the visibility of industrial technologies, identifying policy options and priorities, sharing information and comparing points of view.

A space for networking and finding common goals among industry stakeholders and PeneloPe was there in its stand, sharing the latest tips and advice on a new digital manufacturing methodology that enables more flexible and accurate production of large-scale parts.

📢 If you want to learn everything about a closed-loop digital pipeline that makes it possible to digitally link all the stages in the manufacture of large-scale parts along the entire value chain, from the initial design to the final product and you could not be there with us, join us in our community.

🤖​Ten years ago: the machines sent a machine from the future to kill Sarah Connor. They failed. Now, the machines will try again🤖​

If this short introduction rings a bell, and when you think about the industry going digital, you think about people getting replaced by machines, we have some ideas to share with you.

These machines are NOT replacing anyone, and we have a long path to be run by us…together.

Konstantin von Haugwitz discussed some interesting challenges in industrial automation in an exciting panel along with representatives from DIMOFAC, Integradde & Change2Twin):

​🦾 It is worth noting that machines are not replacing anyone since the industry has a massive labour shortage.
​🧔 The great paradox of automation is that the desire to eliminate human labour always generates new tasks for humans.

From 3o May until 2 June 2022, PeneloPe was present at the Hannover Messe, the second-to-none event in the industry.

PeneloPe and two other European manufacturing projects of the Factories of the Future initiative (DIMOFAC & INTEGRADDE) were attending a booth where some trending topics dealing with the additive manufacturing field were discussed.

That was a fantastic experience in which we could learn the latest tips on digitalising and automating the industry because, as the old adagio says, it is easier said than done, and updating is a must 😉

Are you interested in making AM a reality in manufacturing certified metal parts? Join the INTEGRADDE community and tell us about your specific challenges.

We are willing to hear from you.

I4MS will celebrate its Stakeholders Event European leadership and digital game-changers of the manufacturing industry in Budapest, Hungary, on 19 October 2022 to bring together the ecosystem and exchange success stories; lessons learnt and know-how.

The event will be focused on networking and showcasing opportunities for European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs), European projects, SMEs, technology providers and other stakeholders of the manufacturing sector, driving innovation and technology adoption across the European Union.

The results from this joint exercise will create long-lasting collaborations among the stakeholders that will go beyond the 40 million euros distributed from 2020 to 2023 under the initiative.

The plan will include representatives of the European Commission and the Hungarian Ministry of Innovation. Furthermore, distinguished manufacturing experts working on the digital transformation of the industry will share their insights in the form of keynotes and panel discussions. Moreover, application cases and success stories will be showcased in an exhibition arena with tours. Further funding opportunities for EDIHs and SMEs will be presented too.

The conference will include gamified speed networking activities with Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) and an evening cocktail to close the ceremony.

The jury of the world’s most prestigious design competition, Red Dot, gave the award in the ‘Product Design’ category to the new generation Citea. The electric buses from VDL Bus & Coach are entirely based on an electric drive train and have
trend-setting features. The jury praised the “high design quality and excellent
design”.

The Red Dot Award has been awarded annually in several categories since 1955 by the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen in Essen, Germany. This year, the organisation had a record number of entries. The Red Dot Award for the new Citea generation will be presented on 20 June. “The fact that VDL emerged as the victor from such a strong group of participants is testament to the exceptional quality of the product,” judged Professor Dr Peter Zec, founder and CEO of the Red Dot Award. “In an evaluation process lasting several days, the entries from all over the world were examined in detail and assessed by experts for their design quality and degree of innovation.”
