Zsolt Karikó, managing director of the Hanon Systems Hungary Ltd talked about the decision of the former Visteon 15 years ago to bring research and development to Székesfehérvár. The main principle has remained the training of engineers with experience in the practical side of production meeting the ever changing an expanding requirements of the Industry 4.0 concept even during their university years.
The power unit of the Industry 4.0 concept is the ever accelerating digitization of economy and society with the basis of intelligent systems in digital nets so that a predominantly self-organizing production and mutual communication become possible among people, machines, equipment, logistics and the products.
The economical flexibility of non-series production, the effective application of resources, ergonomic production and the dynamic involvement of business partners and customers in the chain of value production are the main objectives of the Industry 4.0 concept.
