HRC: Ingenics and Audi Work on Solutions to Enhance Quality in Optimized Assembly in the Context of Industry 4.0
Optimizing assembly in the context of Industry 4.0
The optimized use of robotic systems is playing an increasingly important role with respect to Industry 4.0. In order to achieve maximum efficiency in assembly, robots and people will have to work together much more closely than was – and in many cases still is – typical or possible in traditional factories. In Ingolstadt, Audi and Ingenics are working to create new solutions in human–robot collaboration (HRC) that will first be put to the test in pilot projects.
