➡️ The University of São Paulo presented “Fábrica do Futuro” (Factory of the Future), the University of Bolzano presented “Smart Mini Factory,” and the Graz University of Technology presented “LEAD Factory.”
🙌🏼 Below is a summary of each of these presentations:
* The Fábrica do Futuro provides a Latin American reference case for Industry 4.0 education, mass customization, digital manufacturing, and technology transfer to companies. It also illustrates a phased implementation logic, starting with a limited pilot and expanding towards a broader education, research, and transfer platform.
🎓 The presentation was delivered by Prof. Eduardo Zancul.
* The Smart Mini Factory is a reference case for smart manufacturing, Industry 4.0, automation, robotics, VR/AR, and sustainability-oriented manufacturing education. Its relevance lies in showing how a university-based Learning Factory can combine digital production technologies, applied research, hands-on teaching, and broad target-group training within a compact academic environment.
🎓 The presentation was delivered by Prof. Erwin Rauch.
* The LEAD Factory is a Learning Factory for industrial engineering education, lean production, assembly systems, digitalization, energy efficiency, and sustainability-related learning modules. Its relevance for AMARU 5.0 lies in its connection between physical production scenarios, teaching formats, research projects, and industry-oriented learning.
🎓 The presentation was delivered by Prof. Matthias Wolf.
