As a machine manufacturer, how do I position myself to meet the constantly growing demands of the market with regard to the flexibility of my machines?
The current, mostly rigid hardware structures pose a major problem here. Software-defined manufacturing, which is derived from the findings of IT, promises a remedy. The end-to-end use of the digital twin, a reorganization of engineering combined with further developed tools and new control architectures with extended interfaces point to promising solutions. Ernst Esslinger will explain how this can be implemented at a machine manufacturer without having to radically reorganize the company in his presentation "The challenge of "Software Defined Manufacturing" for the machine manufacturer".
