Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing is advancing with the use of new materials, opening completely new possibilities.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI is a concept that is made up of numerous subfields such as machine learning, which focuses on the development of programs that can teach themselves to learn, understand, reason, plan and act when exposed to new data in the right quantities. AI

Big Data Analytics

Increasingly big data techniques are being applied in manufacturing industry to improve customer experience and product quality, realise energy efficiency and conduct predictive maintenance. It is now possible to collect masses of data from severa

Advanced Materials

New materials and nano-structures are being developed, allowing for beneficial material properties, e.g. shape retention and thermoelectric efficiency. Together with additive manufacturing technologies, it will allow for massive customisation and

Cybersecurity

The industrial communication is expanding and strongly connected, as such, digital security becomes a critical aspect that must not be overlooked in the industrial environment. It has now become more complex as it consists of connected devices an

Simulation

While many engineers are already familiar with simulations in the field of product design, the advent of augmented reality, AI and big data is expected to take simulations to the next level. It will be possible to simulate manufacturing processe

Cloud Computing

Augmented Reality

While the initial augmented reality technologies are still in nascent stages, they are advancing at a rapid pace. Some of the first applications can be found in the delivery of information and training, e.g. augmented reality can be used to deli

Internet of Things (IoT)

Industry 3.0 brought in an era of computing and interconnectedness but it often relied on humans to make even the most trivial decisions. Industry 4.0 technologies embody an unprecedented proliferation of sensors and connectedness among these se

Autonomous Robots

Machinery and robots are transformed towards their next generation. Robots can do more on their own, including learning on the job and teaming up with other robots and humans. This technology allows systems to think, act and react autonomously a

System Integration

System integration occurs in vertical (within the industry value chain) and in horizontal systems (across multiple value chains), eventually achieving end-to-end digital integration across the entire value chain.
