What do we mean by Industry4.0? How can we digitalize our production and what can be applied from Industry4.0? What the IoT, IIoT, M2M, V2V, AI, MI, ML, AR/VR, Cloud abbreviations mean? Is there a needle in the daily appearing new concepts and approaches?

The term refers to the fourth industrial revolution, it is the common name of the turbulent digitalization period representing an ever closer connection between information technology, automation and through this a fundamental change in production methods.

Whether you are a production support engineer or an engineering manager, or even you are responsible for a small business or the processes of a huge multinational manufacturing company, most probably you have the same questions.

  • What is the connection between the tools and opportunities of Industry?
  • What changes are required from our business if we want to follow the I4.0 direction?
  • How can a new IT system be designed, developed and built in cyberspace to be reliable, secure and adequately protected in terms of information security?
  • What are the opportunities and dangers of posting production data on the Internet?
  • Where is Industry 4.0 evolving?

 

Botond Kádár from EPIC InnoLabs and other notable experts will answer such and similar questions on the Lean Mosaic workshop conference.

In the SZTAKI laboratory scientists and visitors are looking for solutions to solve the challenges of the modern age.

The first open day was held in the Industry 4.0 Laboratory of the Institute for Computer Science and Control (SZTAKI) at the Széchenyi István University.

Robots are becoming increasingly important in the industry. A new milestone in automated work is Industry 4.0 technology, which enables real-time communication between humans and machines.

The goal of the event is to encourage local small and medium-sized companies to get involved in areas of new technologies and high-tech automated machines.

The visitors will be able to view the work in the lab four more times - March 18, April 22, May 20 and June 17.

Those who do not have the chance to attend in person can visit the virtual lab of SZTAKI at www.centre-epic.eu, which is an exact copy of the physical laboratory at the Széchenyi István University. "

The nationwide programme, the Researchers’ Night gives us the opportunity to invite high schools students who stand before deciding their future professional career, but also interested elementary and grammar school students and even grown-ups are welcome

The Research Laboratory on Engineering & Management Intelligence of SZTAKI has been working for years on developing so-called Industry 4.0 solutions. At our demo we present the assembling of different parts, offering at each step the option to get it done either by the robot or the visitor himself. So anybody can test how to cooperate (in a collaborative way) with a robot. Additionally, the digital model of the complex assembling work station is also shown in real-time by using various sensors.              

The ever closer and ever more comprehensive links between production and IT, the new technological solutions and business concepts developed on this basis are summarised by the term Industry 4.0. Digitisation opens the way to the cyber-physical systems where each real (physical) device has its digital / virtual (cyber-) copy. The two are tightly coupled to each other and enable the device to operate in a more complex (smart) way. The most exciting area of this evolution is the new type of robotization, i.e. when robots are working in an environment where humans are also present and, even more, tasks are performed jointly by the robots and humans.

The annual industrial exhibition at Hungexpo Budapest gives EPIC (Centre of Excellence in Production Informatics and Control) an opportunity to prove that it stands for its name. Excellence in Industry 4.0 research and applied science through consultancy

The project (EPIC) and the related joint venture (EPIC InnoLabs) were created by MTA SZTAKI and the Fraunhofer Institute to improve the research processes in applied sciences. Now the following results are in display to convince the real industry. Data analysis projects are demonstrated through a connected factory concept. The experts will show how the data collected by the variety of sensors are analyzed evaluated and displayed helping the decision makers.

Plant simulation is a traditional part of the exhibition presence of EPIC, but this year interactive displays are giving the visitors the chance to try their analytical skills (and luck). Industry representatives can play around in a 3D plant model trying to figure out the best configuration. EPIC expert will demonstrate the way of analyzing the results and optimizing the factory layout.
