As technology grows, global business network prepares for Industry 4.0. Forming an educational program to make this technological transformation offer advantages to the sectors, EOS will introduce new business and manufacturing models to firms.
Offering solutions with printer, software and consultancy solutions, EOS started an education project to support technology integration. Aiming to inform managers about sectoral technology use, the firm collaborated with business school IESE.
IESE and EOS will combine their expertise in the fields of management knowledge and technology know-how, introducing executives to new business models and opportunities focusing on the future of manufacturing. EOS will provide first-hand experience via customer examples, which have already integrated industrial 3D printing into their manufacturing process and will show how companies can benefit from using this technology in terms of productivity and cost savings.
A three-day edition of the program selectively in Munich or Barcelona provides decision-makers with insights into key elements of this transformation process, including technologies like the connected factory, smart robots and additive manufacturing. Based on business scenarios, skills for the successful realization of the digital transformation regarding Industry 4.0 are showcased. EOS will provide first-hand experience via customer examples, which have already integrated industrial 3D printing into their manufacturing process – and will show how companies can benefit from using this technology in terms of productivity and cost savings.
“In an environment shaped by rapid technology and process change, remaining competitive requires informed, innovative and future-focused leaders,” said Professor Marc Sachon, Production Technology & Operations Management Professor, IESE Business School. “The Industry 4.0 Executive Education Program takes a dynamic, interactive approach to developing participant skills through interactive discussions, lectures and workshops, and direct engagement with manufacturing businesses already on the transitional journey to Industry 4.0. With EOS as the global technology leader for industrial 3D printing, we have the perfect partner to conduct this executive education programme.”
Adrian Keppler, chief marketing officer at EOS adds, “The industry is facing the next big step of development and additive manufacturing is playing a key role: the focus is on the integration of additive manufacturing into existing and future production environments, which requires optimization of both part and data flow in serial production.” He continues, “The collaboration with IESE Business School emphasizes the significance of industrial 3D printing for the senior management. Together with IESE, we can prepare the management in manufacturing companies for the new challenges due to the digital transformation and communicate the advantages of new production models such as additive manufacturing in a way that they can quickly generate a genuine value-add for their own business.
