SUMMARY:Test Event
DESCRIPTION:This LabTour is aimed at manufacturers of automation products\, sensor manufacturers and component manufacturers. These manufacturers have particularly high innovation requirements for their product development and are also significantly shaping Industry 4.0.  \nArtificial intelligence technologies are being embedded in their products\, but far more innovations are flowing into the design and programming of automation to improve safety\, real-time capability\, performance\, interoperability and accuracy. \nIn this LabTour\, we will showcase these innovations and discuss challenges\, open questions and research needs with manufacturers! \n  \nWe would like to point out that the organizers will be taking photographs during this event and publishing them for the purpose of public relations and reporting on the event. These rights apply without spatial or temporal restrictions. The photos will be used on the websites and social media channels of SmartFactoryOWL\, the OWL University of Applied Sciences and Arts\, Fraunhofer IOSB-INA and\, if applicable\, in the local press.   \nIn accordance with Art. 21 GDPR\, you can assert your right not to be photographed – please speak to the organizer or photographer immediately and before the start of the event if you wish to assert this right. \nThe organizers and thus those responsible for taking photographs are Fraunhofer IOSB-INA and the OWL University of Applied Sciences and Arts.
