Germany — The aspect of digitalisation has gained further momentum in the wake of the Corona pandemic. But what role do people play in an increasingly digitised production environment? in this article Metav puts the spotlight on the changing corporate culture in smart factories. Related Companies (Source: Ifp Software) The digitalisation and networking of entire factory floors and the new processes in Industry 4.0 scenarios are raising ever more questions surrounding the role which employees play in this environment and how their supervisors need to respond. Above all, the dynamics of production lines supported by artificial intelligence (AI) necessitate giving human beings working at machines greater decision-making authority and responsibility than many organisational charts provide for at present. For their part, the supervisors, relieved of routine activities by the algorithms, must cast off their classic control function and shift their emphasis to the role of coach. Industry 4.0 will have more far-reaching consequences than many think. Most experts agree, however, that this should not be taken as grounds for delaying the digitalisation process. Indeed, the sooner this is started, the better. As a consequence, Metav digital from 23 to 26 March 2021 will be presenting many solutions in the field of Industry 4.0. and Work 4.0.
