In the factories of the future, the focus is squarely on humans

 

Robots that fit in with their human counterparts (and not the other way round); AR glasses that feed their wearer vital information overlays; self-learning machines that continuously self-optimize…and at the heart of it all stands one thing: people power. That’s the core message of HANNOVER MESSE 2018. Or, as Deutsche Messe’s Managing Board Chairman Dr. Jochen Köckler puts it: “The factory of the future is a factory that can think for itself and is human-centric.”
