Artificial intelligence in ERP
Artificial intelligence is not an all-purpose weapon. However, it is excellent at automating processes and making them more efficient. This makes it particularly valuable for ERP systems. There are already many successful practical applications.

In future, Sauter will rely on intelligent tool turrets, tool holders and tools that record, collect and evaluate data and forward it to an IQ box.

A new Igus app for the Fanuc IoT platform ensures simple and safe monitoring of machine components.

Under the motto "Connected to your needs" chosen for EMO Hannover 2019, GF Machining Solutions will present digital solutions that enable customers to track the performance of their machines and workshops, automate processes and connect their machines to ERP and MES systems.
Networking and machine learning
With new technologies, almost all technical systems and plants can be integrated into the web. However, IoT-supported production systems require a suitable infrastructure and support from machine learning so that they can act intelligently and independently.
Digitization of manufacturing processes
DMG Mori intends to acquire important expertise in the field of digitalization of manufacturing processes by acquiring a stake in the Bavarian software company up2parts, which specializes in artificial intelligence (AI).

At Motek, Deprag Schulz will be showcasing its innovations for optimizing assembly processes - such as the Deprag Cockpit software solution, which allows users to maintain an overview of any number of different screwdriving technology control systems, regardless of the manufacturer. This new digital service enables easy access to the networked factory.
Evaluate sensor data via the cloud
Digitalization in mechanical engineering
To date, digitalization has found its way into mechanical engineering from a purely technological perspective. A cultural approach, on the other hand, has so far been given far too little attention. This is a mistake.
