Détails de l'événement.

AI technologies are said to have a great deal of potential. They can improve the quality of industrial production, reduce costs while simultaneously reducing production times, and increase the robustness of the work processes. Users are also anticipating sustainable potential for themselves through cutting back on resources, optimising of energy consumption, and improving the coordination of logistic processes. 

At the same time, artificial intelligence also allows the revamping of ideas, product-creation, engineering, production processes and their adjoining processes from the ground up, the enriching of one’s own products or services through or with AI, and the implementing of novel business models. AI therefore has implications for all industrial areas and thus for Industry 4.0 as well.

In this context, AI4Belgium is launching a new working group oriented towards the industrial world (Industry 4.0) in order to support all programs initiated in Belgium to bolster our manufacturing companies. We therefore invite you to participate at the kick-off of this working group. After the keynote we will discuss together the key objectives of this working group. Interaction with Regional and European programs will be essential in this context.
