Extra remarks

Registration closed. 

With the scOUT!ng+ Industrie 4.0 network, an initiative of Voka and Flanders Make, we visit eight innovative production companies and search for best practices. These pioneers have taken the first steps towards Industry 4.0 and are trying to integrate pillars in their production process. In addition to a testimonial from the host company, two independent technology providers are also given the floor.

The focus is on transformation. What preparation is necessary to be able to transform? What are the obstacles on the path? Then we are taken in group for an interactive tour of the production and we get explanations about the different processes, the set-up and the pitfalls. In this way we link practice to theory. A unique opportunity! After the tour you will have the opportunity to network extensively.

First come, first served. Because of the practical nature of this scouting, the number of participants is limited to 20. Registration is only possible for the whole series, not per visit. Registration is closed.

Because of COVID-19, the programme has changed to 4 online webinars.

Target group

Lean managers, lean experts, opex managers, quality managers, production managers, industrial engineers who are on the payroll of an industrial manufacturing company and are jointly responsible for the transformation of their production apparatus. Not for consulting, service and consultancy companies. Competitors of host companies can be refused for the company visit in question.
