3. May 2018 - 4. May 2018
How can smart systems be connected, even across locations, to increase efficiency and performance? How can they be protected against cyber attacks? And how can humans and machines collaborate successfully in the context of Industrie 4.0? These are the questions addressed by IWOLIA, the “International Workshop on Optimization in Logistics and Industrial Applications” (IWOLIA) from May 3-4, 2018 in Karlsruhe, Germany. For interested business representatives and scientists, participation is free of charge after prior registration
The Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, Systems Engineering and Image Analysis IOSB and the Technical University of Troyes (UTT) are the co-organizers of the conference, which is being held for the ninth time, but for the first time in Germany. High-ranking representatives of French and German chambers of industry and commerce as well as the technology region and the city of Karlsruhe will attend.
Promotion of cross-border cooperation
