VW offers its vision of Industry 4.0.
Fabian Fischer, head of internal processing in VW's Group Research unit for Materials and Manufacturing.
Serious 4.0 work for VW only began in 2013, Fischer said, but it's progressing quickly. The company has finished a prototype car where each part has RFID chips or similar technology for traceability.

Volkswagen 4.0 – the production systems of tomorrow are being developed in the Gläserne Manufaktur in Dresden
World first: The headliner for the e-Golf is now being fitted by a robot as standard.
03/14/19Company Press Release
The Gläserne Manufaktur in Dresden is continuing to develop into the Volkswagen Group’s primary test location for trialling innovative technologies. In conjunction with the Wolfsburg and Emden factories, the Gläserne Manufaktur is part of a “technical centre” project. The primary idea is to achieve automation of complex work steps within assembly. The first project at the Dresden site is a world first – the headliner for the e-Golf is now being fitted by a robot as standard. This manufacturing step will also be used in production of the ID from the end of 2019 at Volkswagen’s Zwickau plant.
Dr Andreas Tostmann, member of the Board of Management for Production and Logistics of the Volkswagen brand: “We want to achieve a 30% improvement in productivity in the Volkswagen brand factories by 2025 compared to 2018 to ensure our competitiveness in the long term and to make a decisive contribution to improving the profitability of the Volkswagen brand. To achieve this, the factories must become faster, leaner and more efficient. The various technical centre projects in Wolfsburg, Emden and Dresden make an important contribution to this by testing innovative technologies.”
The innovations in Dresden are supported by Volkswagen Brand Planning and Wolfsburg plant engineering. Other projects at the Dresden site include the automated assembly and removal of the car doors and the human/robot collaboration.
Note: A clip for automated installation of the e-Golf headliner is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIg9wfjx81E

Unilever - Sonepat
To improve agility and cater to diverse product segments, reduce costs in an inflationary environment and improve sustainability, Unilever Sonepat implemented 30+ Fourth Industrial Revolution use cases in its E2E supply chain. Top use cases included boiler and spray dryer process twins, as well as customer data-informed no-touch production planning and inventory optimization. This improved service by 18%, forecast accuracy by 53%, conversion cost by 40% and Scope 1 carbon footprint by 88%. The use of biofuels enabled by a boiler process twin also supports livelihoods for local farmers.

Schneider Electric is constantly leverages new-age technologies to meet ever-changing customer needs.
The Schneider Electric Smart Factory in Hyderabad recently earned the recognition of an Advanced Lighthouse by the World Economic Forum. The Hyderabad smart factory has leveraged Schneider Electric’s Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) based EcoStruxure Solutions backed by AI deep learningp learning, IIOT infrastructure, and both predictive and prescriptive analytics.
Schneider Electric, on Thursday (29 Sep 2022), hosted the ground breaking ceremony of state-of-the-art Smart Factory at GMR Industrial Park in Hyderabad (It will be second facility in Hyderabad).
Manish Pant
Executive Vice President for International Operations | Member of the Executive Committee | Schneider Electric
Schneider Electric's Hyderabad factory in India has been recognized as a Sustainability Lighthouse by the World Economic Forum. This recognition marks a hat-trick win for Schneider Electric after our Lexington plant in USA (2021) and Le Vaudreuil plant in France (2022) received the same status.We will continue to invest in #4ir technologies and expand our manufacturing capacity in the country.
Over four years, the plant reduced its energy consumption by 59 per cent, improved waste optimisation by 64 per cent, decreased CO2 emissions by 61 per cent, and reduced water consumption by 57 per cent.
To improve energy efficiency and thereby reduce CO2 emissions, the Hyderabad team focused on the highest energy consumers in the plant: air compressors and chillers. An IoT-enabled device, Equaliser 4.0, was installed to regulate the compressors, thereby improving their efficiency. For the chillers, a data-driven energy management system with closed-loop control was fitted to constantly monitor and adjust energy consumption in real-time, optimising energy efficiency.

Gravity die casting - automation packages
With the proven automation packages for modern and cost-effective gravity die casting, KUKA supplies the ideal basis for high casting quality.
Gravity die casting: the technology
Gravity die casting is a casting process in which the melt is poured from above into a permanent metal mold through a sprue. The mold is filled through the effect of gravity alone. The high thermal conductivity of the mold provides for accelerated cooling of the solidifying melt. This in turn results in a dense and fine-grained structure with improved mechanical properties.
Automated gravity die casting
There are extensive product range of robots, software tools, deburring systems, casting carousels, casting machines, systems for pre-machining and the required peripheral equipment.
The tilting gravity die casting machines with their innovative drive, operating and control concept provide you with the basis you need for high casting quality. The software function in the KRC ROBOTstar synchronizes the pouring motion of the robot with the tilting motion of the casting machine providing for a precise filling process.
Automated Gravity die casting: the advantages
- Robust, low-torsion mechanical construction with a low-backlash drive concept characterizes the series of single and double tilt casting machines.
- Positionally accurate due to the servo drive, the machines are suitable for linear casting cells as well as for gravity die casting in combination with casting carousels.
- The app-based KUKA casting machine controller can be intuitively operated and offers maximum ease of use.
- Additional positive effects of automating gravity die casting include increased productivity, improved casting quality and high profitability of your production system.
- In contrast to sand casting, gravity die casting has low space requirements.
- Full mechanization using robots is possible for gravity die casting.
- The robots ensure a high pouring rate meeting the requirements of each casting.
