Perspectives on industrial data ecosystems, Industrial AI, robotics, resilient manufacturing and European research and innovation.
  • Connected factories rerouting material, energy and data flows while workers coordinate an adaptive response to disruption.

    Why Resilient Manufacturing Requires More Than Robust Technology

    Robust technology is designed to resist expected variation. Resilient manufacturing goes further: it gives an organisation the ability to anticipate disruption, absorb its effects, adapt operations, recover and learn.
