Smart Manufacturing Week in 10 quotes

Franz Fayot, Minister of the Economy:

More than ever, sustainability and competitiveness must go hand in hand. It is essential to think collaboratively about the manufacturing industry of tomorrow.

 

 

Andy Schmidt, Chief Community Officer at Seismic:

Put people and the planet at the very front of your product design. If you can see the opportunities, you can capitalise on them. If you are not doing it – others are. Your competitors will spot the potential and try to become disruptive.

 

 

Professor Olivier Vassart, CEO of Steligence, ArcelorMittal:

We need to calculate environmental impacts across the entire life cycle, meaning what happens before us and after us. We all have a role to play.

Sustainability in manufacturing comes from implementing industry 4.0 principles by design.

 

 

 

Kris Van Heurck and Bart Demaegdt at Siemens:

Data is the new oil, but the real difficulty is to valorise these data.

 

 

 

Joost van Oorschot, Founder & CEO of Maana Electric:

Guillaume Boisot, Head of Materials & ICME Center of Excellence et Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence:

Manufacturing design always starts with a material. There is no material innovation without centralised data.

 

 

 

Arnaud Lambert, Director – Luxembourg Digital Innovation Hub at Luxinnovation:

The future is about collaborative and responsible automation.

 

 

 

Dr Maiya Shibasaki, Head of Corporate Sustainability at Siemens Healthineers:
