A sustainable Digital Enterprise in action: the Electronics Factory Erlangen

Does Siemens drink its own champagne? This episode gives profound insights into a real sustainable Digital Enterprise – the Electronics Factory Erlangen in Germany. Moderator Chris Brow leads his guests Kevin O’Donovan, Stefan Krug, and Magnus Edholm through a conversation on the factory’s digital end-to-end production processes, which are made possible with technologies like the Digital Twin and AI. Among others they talk about the challenges of digitalizing a brownfield site, cutting the carbon footprint in manufacturing and product design, and, last but not least, the importance of the people. This episode is peppered with examples of what’s possible today with digitalization, such as using AI to reduce fake failures and how robots are trained to pick unsorted parts. Best of all, the solutions they talk about are available for all industrial enterprises.
