Welcome to PI-Forest Product Engineers’ and ABB’s breakfast seminar!
Digitality/ioT has been present in the forest industry already for a while. Has it already brought us new opportunities to accelerate production processes and optimize costs?
What kinds of opportunities does digitality bring when it is connected to process automation systems or to the factory’s smart power grid, or is it already part of it today?
What are the expectations for digitality in the future factories and production processes?
We will get answers and perspectives to all these questions above in the breakfast seminar.
The event is free of charge. There are limited seats available, so please confirm your participation soon! Please note, almost all the presentations will be given in Finnish.
