The 5th International Conference on Material Strength and Applied Mechanics (MSAM 2022)

Abstract: In research and development as well as in industry the innovation cycles are getting shorter and shorter. Digitalization is accelerating this trend and changing our daily life. It also promotes the development of new products, new manufacturing methods and new business models.
Digitalization delivers also huge volume of data. Data is the source for powerful artificial intelligence AI. Utilizing artificial intelligence machines and processes will become intelligent. The entire efficiency and transparency in industry will increase. Digitalization and big data will enable academicians and industry to become more innovative and to create new ideas for machines and manufacturing.

The speaker will explain the development of technology in the history and the state of the art of current machines and manufacturing methods.
Based on his long international experience in industry and in academy, the speaker will present his ideas for future machine concepts and for manufacturing systems. He will also compare the technological power of western countries and China's. He will present his proposals how China and Germany could cooperate in future successfully.

A vision for a future manufacturing system which is intelligent, resilient and reconfigurable will conclude the speech.
