In focus: The topics of VDMA Materials Handling and Intralogistics
The "Circular Production NRW" (ZiPo.NRW) funding call is entering the next round: applications can now be submitted until December 15, 2025.
Conversions of machines and systems - complex and profitable projects for mechanical engineering and an opportunity or necessity for the operator?
The guide "Self-learning Production Processes - Implementation Strategy for Reinforcement Learning in Industrial Practice" introduces the topic of Machine Learning and shows step by step how an implementation of industrial Reinforcement Learning can be carried out in one's own company. Application examples illustrate the procedure.
The "Intelligent and self-learning production processes" project investigated how machines can teach themselves optimal processes independently and through interaction with the environment using little data. The ML method "reinforcement learning" was used for this and tested on two applications.
An important basis for the successful introduction of Industry 4.0 is the manufacturer-independent exchange of data in production. The open interface standard OPC UA is increasingly established for this purpose. The VDMA guideline shows how companies can successfully introduce industry 4.0 communication with OPC UA.
Merging Industrie 4.0 and Lean Management offers great potential for successfully developing companies. The VDMA Guideline is intended to support companies.
The VDMA is building a bridge between mechanical engineering and start-ups and has introduced a new event format for this purpose: the hackathon.
