„Lean meets Industrie 4.0“ was the title of the TOP Transfer Forum which took place at Schaeffler AG in Herzogenaurach on September 27, 2016 and was attended by many industry representatives.
Well-known companies such as Harting, Schaeffler, Festo and SCA presented examples and success stories about implementing Industrie 4.0 into lean production.
