FACTORY 2050 | The AMRC
Sheffield, UK
Questo è un momento di cambiamento epocale per le imprese di ogni settore industriale: le nuove tecnologie digitali permettono oggi di produrre un alto valore per il cliente a costi assai più contenuti che nel passato. Ciò può rappresentare un vantaggio competitivo per le imprese, ma anche un grande rischio.
I sistemi di produzione e di supply-chain diventeranno sempre più interconnessi e i sottosistemi saranno sempre più interdipendenti tra loro; in sostanza Sistemi dal comportamento Dinamicamente Complesso per i quali sarà difficile, o addirittura impossibile, prevederne gli esiti e le conseguenze.
I cambiamenti introdotti dall’Industria 4.0 orientano oggi la progettazione verso nuove metodiche che si sostituiscono alle vecchie prevalentemente sostenute dalla sola esperienza o, al più, dall’utilizzo di fogli di calcolo statici. Viene oggi riconosciuto alla Simulazione Dinamica ad Eventi Discreti il ruolo indispensabile per progettare i cambiamenti radicali prospettatati dall’Industria 4.0.
In questo scenario non poteva esserci miglior location dell’AMRC Factory 2050: la prima fabbrica all’avanguardia del Regno Unito, dedicata a ricerche collaborative sulla produzione digitale. Un luogo unico che racchiude le ultime tecnologie che hanno impatto sulla produzione di oggi e che ci proiettano nel domani.
La Predictive Simulation Conference del 20 giugno 2018 offre la possibilità di prendere parte ad una tavola rotonda sulle ultime novità di settore tra le quali:
- MAPPAMONDO TECNOLOGICO: condivisione delle aspettative future sul tema della simulazione predittiva
- PROSPETTIVE VISIONARIE: esperti del settore che si incontrano per discutere di come la simulazione predittiva cambierà radicalmente obiettivi e valore nel corso degli anni a venire
- PIATTAFORMA WITNESS: i dettagli sulle ultime versioni del software WITNESS Horizon 22.0, WITNESS.IO & WITNESS.cloud
