    Advanced Factories

    The Advanced Factories Congress/Expo has been held the 4-6 April in Barcelona. Openmind partner IRIS has attended the congress and given a presentation. IRIS’s Marketing Manager, Carlota Feliu gave a presentation of “Hypera” which is IRIS’s in-line foreign body detector for food processing. David Nettleton and Alexandr Tretyak, of IRIS’s Data Science team also attended, visiting the expo and selected conference sessions. Some key aspects of the congress/expo were “collaborative robots” (industrial robots which can work/move in the same space as humans), “3-D printing”, “Artificial Intelligence + Analytics”, complex simulation models (digital twins of the physical systems) and in-line big data capture from sensors. One challenge is being able to integrate all of these aspects to facilitate, for example “mass production of customized products”. Although the individual technologies are already available, it may be several years before we see them completely integrated in real industrial environments, and with the value chain which goes from the factory floor to the final customer.
