NXTGEN Autonomous Factory
The Autonomous Factory project focuses on the development and implementation of process optimization in a high-tech production environment; highly complex, in low volumes. To achieve this, the entire process must become smart: Smart Manufacturing, Smart Working, and Smart System Engineering. Elements such as robotics, new production and assembly technology, flexible and digitized processes, and flexible logistics are indispensable. Operating support systems, education, and training also play a significant role.

NXTGEN Smart Supply Network
Within the Smart Supply Network project, the focus is on deepening and scaling the Smart Connected Supplier Network (SCSN), where manufacturing companies work on digitally exchanging information in the supply chain. This enables companies to easily, quickly, and reliably share data.
