The INDUSTRIE 4.0 AWARD 2022 goes to AUO Corporation, EDGE Group PJSC, Mangelberger Elektrotechnik GmbH and RITTAL GmbH & Co KG. Since 2013, ROI-EFESO has awarded the renowned prize to Industry 4.0 solutions in the manufacturing environment that set new standards in digitization and automation. This year, the award jury selected winners in four categories from international applications.
Munich, November 28, 2022
Based on anonymous project descriptions, more than 30 high-caliber executives from the industries determined who is positioning themselves as an Industry 4.0 pioneer in the award categories "SMART FACTORY”, "SMART & SUSTAINABLE”, "SMART AUTOMATION" and "SMART WORKFORCE” with their current best-practice project or an already implemented solution.
Smart, green and holistic
Two trends dominated the applications submitted: On the one hand, solving new workforce management challenges for manufacturing companies. On the other, Industry 4.0 professionals are increasingly using their automation and digitization expertise to achieve sustainability goals, such as building a circular economy or improving their energy and materials management.
"Particularly exciting are projects that integrate customers and partners at an early stage to improve the economic and ecological bottom line beyond their own playground",says Hans-Georg Scheibe, Managing Partner at ROI-EFESO Management Consultants AG. "The Industry 4.0 solutions of this year's award winners exemplify how to successfully visualize and orchestrate manufacturing data and processes in this context."
