10 Years of Industry 4.0: Lessons Learned and Future Directions

Join us at the Danish Automation Society (DAU) for our upcoming conference, 10 Years of Industry 4.0: Lessons Learned and Future Directions. Presented entirely in English, this conference offers an international platform for dialogue and exchange on the real-world challenges and accomplishments of Industry 4.0.

Over the past decade, Industry 4.0 has emerged from a promising concept to a complex reality. This conference invites you to examine this transformative journey with us. We will take a balanced look at what has been achieved, what remains aspirational, and what the future might hold considering the experiences of the past decade.

Our conference aims to explore the realities behind the excitement of Industry 4.0. We will discuss the challenges that have emerged as we have sought to integrate smart manufacturing with legacy systems, grappled with the interoperability of IoT, and navigated the risks of cybersecurity.

Further, we will review the implementation of digital twin technology, adaptive user interfaces, and the latest advancements in industrial automation and control systems. These developments represent significant strides in realizing the vision of Industry 4.0, and we will explore how they are shaping the present and future of the industry.

As we reflect on a decade of Industry 4.0, we will also cast our gaze towards the future, exploring the potential and challenges of emergent technologies such as AI and 5G networks.

DAU is committed to fostering an open exchange of ideas and encouraging a realistic perspective on automation in Denmark. This conference embodies our commitment to active knowledge sharing and engagement with the evolution of Industry 4.0 strategies.

Join us in reflecting on a decade of Industry 4.0, engaging in a global conversation, and shaping the future of this industrial revolution. This conference is a golden opportunity to network with the brightest minds in the field, stay abreast of the latest trends, and gain a balanced perspective on Industry 4.0. We look forward to your participation.
