Wissen Digital: Smart Factory – Die Produktion von heute
1913 führte Henry Ford das Fließband ein und läutete damit zur zweiten industriellen Revolution. Heute stehen wir in den Startlöchern der Industrie 4.0, ermöglicht durch den technologischen Fortschritt und angetrieben durch den Ruf nach qualitativ hochwertigen, individualisierbaren Produkten. Audi zeigt, wie eine Smart Factory aussieht, mit Drohnen, 3D-Drucker und Virtual-Reality-Datenbrillen – ohne Fließband.
