Seminar:
Enabeling technology
for smart production systems
6 February 2025
12:30 – 16:00 (CEST)
Online seminar via MS Teams
About the seminar
How can Industry 4.0 and smart production systems make your company more competitive in the future? Join this online seminar and hear different aspects on smart production from university experts and industry. The talks will be based on applications and cases in the context of plant simulation, integration of advanced robotics, as well as AI for optimization of flexible automation technologies. As Industry 4.0 has a systems perspective, the focus will also be on integration and try to share some of the most important learnings from design and implementation of these solutions, eg. an industrial view on the practical challenges with implementation of advanced solutions for automated storage and retrieval.
We have been fortuned to gather experts from both university, GTS and industry lighthouses to inspirer and share their experience.
The program leaves room for online interaction and discussion with the presenters.
Target audience
This online seminar is targeted at engineers and production managers, PTA Managers with an interest in the latest developments in smart factory technologies.
Seminar organizers
Morten Kristiansen (Aalborg University), Henrik Blichfeldt (University of Southern Denmark) and Hans Nørgaard Hansen (Denmark Technical University) from Teknologisk Videndeling’s production steering group.

Simulation as an active decision tool for operations Elias Ribeiro da Silva, Associate Professor, SDU  This seminar will explore the use of simulation as a practical tool for informed decision-making in operations. Attendees will discover how complex systems can be modeled, enabling the test of various scenarios to improve decision quality. The session will cover concrete examples of simulation applied to resource allocation, bottleneck analyses, and system optimization, highlighting its role in managing uncertainty. The seminar is designed to provide a practical understanding of how to apply simulation techniques to obtain enhanced performance in factories and supply chains. Elias Ribeiro da Silva is an Associate Professor at SDU. His current research explores the digitalization of production systems and supply chains. Prior studies include PhD degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering, and experience embracing automotive and industrial automation industries. Currently co-chairperson of the Supply Chain 4.0 International Network |

Get inspired by others – and get started Søren Peter Johansen, Danish Technological Institute  The presentation focuses on the typical challenges faced by companies today and provides advice on how to overcome them. This includes strategies for employee involvement and training, handling safety aspects, and solving technical challenges. To illustrate the potential of robot technology, a series of cases showcasing successful implementations in various industries will be presented. Finally, participants will be informed about how to get started and how they can learn from others’ successes and failures through participation in relevant networks such as DIRA. Søren Peter Johansen has extensive and deep knowledge of the application of robot technology in industry, gained through 20+ years of work with implementation. He has a large network among technology suppliers, system integrators, and Danish manufacturing companies. This is due to his role as secretariat manager in DIRA (Danish Robot Network), which has 200+ member companies in Denmark.. |
