Our highlights

  • More than 15 start-ups and speakers from industry and research present their innovations and latest findings
  • Keynotes and panel discussions offer insights into the future of the working world
  • The workshop format at Science Point shows how Motion-Mining® can be successfully implemented in research and teaching.

Invitation to a network meeting for industrial engineers

Transforming the workplace is an exciting opportunity for growth and development. Efficiency, ergonomics, sustainability, a high level of automation and AI-controlled processes are just a few of the keywords that define this change.
Where is the focus on people and where are they displaced? And is technology always a support or does it complicate the working world?

‍
At #FIED24, we would like to answer these questions together with experts from logistics and production. We are discussing whether the high expectations at the workplace of the future can stand up to reality.
