Talk Abstract
Industry 4.0 has become one of the hot issues for industrial companies nowadays. This deep transformation that companies undergo will not only change the production process or design but also how companies interact with the clients and suppliers. This talk is dedicated to new trends in Industry 4.0 and in particular technologies and solutions that allow companies to innovate and introduce new services for the industries of the future. We will introduce the different challenges that companies face today to implement and integrate these technologies and how to overcome them. A special focus will be given to human resources and their importance in the management of change and in helping the companies innovate in services. Finally, we tackle the interaction between the R&D sphere and the industrial sphere as the most important step in innovation nowadays. Examples and success stories will be given to show how this interaction provide the companies with a big advantage over competitors.
