Who we are? A leading consortium from the Northern Netherlands, experimenting with 4.0 manufacturing. We see the transformation to Industry 4.0 as a big, but complex, challenge. So we decided to do it together, to help one another, while becoming experts able to serve others.
12 Smart Factory Innovators
As representatives of this consortium, 12 SME’s will show their Smart Factory Solutions in our stand. Most of them are young, not too large, and are all innovative suppliers of Smart Factory Building blocks. From Big Data Software to smart machines, for product/process development, as well as for manufacturing. All of them are Hannover Messe debutants, which makes it extra challenging. We believe the open structure of the Netherlands offers an ideal seedbed for innovations in the field of Smart Factories. We are the specialized shops in addition to the big Department stores surrounding us. Are you a midsize-midtech manufacturer? You will feel right at home! Have a cup of coffee and see for yourselves what we have to offer!
Become the best version of yourself!
The Smart Factory will be the next global standard for manufacturing. So why not start today? To help you make up your mind, we have developed a special Smart Factory Self-Assessment. In less than 15 minutes you will know ‘How smart you are” and “How Smart you should be.” And don’t forget: Smart is not about the number of robots you have, but how smartly you manage your factory. During the Hannover Messe the Assessment (available in English, German and Dutch) can be filled in free of charge; via our website (password: RoSF_2018) but also at our stand.
