Workshop: Robotics, digitisation and green transition in large structure productions

Are you interested in how robotics and digitisation can boost the green transition in the maritime, construction, and energy sectors?

Are you interested in how robotics and digitisation can boost the green transition in the maritime, construction, and energy sectors? Join us at Odense Port for inspiring presentations and discussions with industry and academia.

Common factors of the maritime, construction and energy sectors are the high amount of manual work and the low degree of automation due to a general lack of digitisation and robotisation. The introduction of concepts and technologies from Industry 4.0 can help to bridge this gap.

The University of Southern Denmark and Odense Robotics will host the workshop: ‘Robotics, digitisation and green transition in large structure productions’ in collaboration with Odense Port on 17 August..

Here, speakers from academia and the industry will present state-of-the-art and best practices on robotics and digitisation in large structure productions.

The workshop aims to give companies from the Danish robotics cluster and end users from the three sectors inspiration and insights on the possibilities of implementing I4.0 technologies in the production of large scale products, thereby paving the way for a green transition where digitisation and robotisation foster sustainable production as well as decent work and economic growth in the sectors.

The workshop will provide you with new knowledge, inspiration and collaboration possibilities – sign up now!
