Shrinking resources and simultaneously increasing demand is a global challenge in many aspects.
Sustainability, e.g. the careful and responsible use of resources, requires for innovations in prod uction
processes and products in all branches of industry. At the same time, the product range becomes
increasingly diverse in many aspects and reversely batch sizes for the production of identical products are
shrinking. This yields demand for highly flexible and efficient production systems, strong information
networks and new manufacturing technologies. For further information please visit Advanced Manufacturing.
