Speaker information:

In the product-service economy – what is also called the Experience Economy – the power of consumers has reached an unprecedented level. To stay ahead industrial companies must introduce new products faster, manage complex product mix, produce locally while they optimize globally, and continuously improve production processes. To reach such goals next generation PLM systems are developped that let entire company ecosystem – from suppliers to customers — collaborate virtually on virtual twins of a product or virtual twins of a production system. Manutelligence project develops 4 use cases that exemplify this new approach in the domain of sport cars, cruise ships, city and additive manufacturing.
- Luis Usatorre (Tecnalia) will focus on the ICP4LIFE project.
- Martin Kasperczyk’s (Fraunhofer IPA) presentation will include the SELSUS project.
