Digitizing production - From design table to modern factory
Josef Forsman | Civil Engineer | Plant Asset Management
Lydia Söderlund | Senior Consultant | Plantvision
Time: Wednesday, May 21, 10:55-11:25
Location: NyTeknik Education Stage
I detta föredrag får du en inblick i hur digitala lösningar effektiviserar anläggningskonstruktion för företag – från P&ID-design till styrsystem och produktionsuppföljning. Genom verkliga exempel från innovativa företag inom hållbar återvinning visar vi hur återanvändning av processdata från designfasen skapar ett effektivt informationsflöde, minskar dubbelarbete och förbättrar spårbarhet. Dessa metoder ökar inte bara kvalitet och effektivitet, utan också lägger grunden för en mer hållbar och framtidssäkrad produktion.
Increased competitiveness through better traceability, quality and sustainability of production
Linn Fransson | Consultant Manager, Supply Chain & Production
Time: Thursday, May 22, 09:15-09:45
Location: NyTeknik Education AI Stage
Hur har tillverkande företag stärkt sin position på marknaden genom att förbättra spårbarheten, höja kvaliteten och satsa på hållbar produktion? Hur kan ett ökat fokus på hållbarhet och spårbarhet minska resursslöseri, effektivisera produktionsprocesser och bidra till ökad lönsamhet? Och vilken roll spelar digitalisering för att driva denna utveckling framåt? Med ökande krav från både kunder och lagstiftare på transparenta och hållbara tillverkningsprocesser är det viktigare än någonsin för företag att säkerställa spårbarhet och kvalitet genom hela leverantörskedjan och produktionen.
