Automotive-sector | Digitalisation and industry 4.0 | future of production | All over the world, our colleagues at thyssenkrupp are working to safeguard the future of our company by making it more flexible, more efficient and more high-performance. In our new strategy #newtk, we are putting performance center stage. One concrete example of this are the autonomous transport vehicles at our Fameck and Terre Haute sites. These vehicles control the flow of goods between Production and the high-bay warehouses fully automatically. The result: greater efficiency, improved safety, lower costs and higher productivity.

Digitalisation and industry 4.0 | trends of technology | All over the world, our colleagues at thyssenkrupp are working to safeguard the future of our company by making it more flexible, more efficient and more high-performance. In our new strategy #newtk, we are putting performance center stage. A case in point is digital solutions TIM and RPA, which are designed to take over those monotonous chores for which human labor is too valuable. And which they perform faster, more transparently and virtually error-free.

Automotive-sector | Digitalisation and industry 4.0 | future of production | innovation | All over the world, our colleagues at thyssenkrupp are working to safeguard the future of our company by making it more flexible, more efficient and more high-performance. In our new strategy #newtk, we are putting performance center stage. One specific example is the multifaceted Smart Glasses project: Thanks to these digital data glasses, we have dramatically reduced travel time for our colleagues in the components business and brought about a decisive reduction in plant downtime. In this way, we not only save time but also money – and are able to structure work at our locations far more efficiently.

Corporate culture | Digitalisation and industry 4.0 | innovation | On July 3 and 4, the hackathon will enter its fourth round at thyssenkrupp. Then it's time again to design, conceptualize and program creative and unconventional solutions in just 24 hours.

Digitalisation and industry 4.0 | future of production | innovation | trends of technology | Blockchain? Doesn't that have something to do with Bitcoin? Not in this case. We are in the TechCenter Additive Manufacturing in Mülheim. In a live demonstration, thyssenkrupp and IBM show us why the blockchain process could help industrial 3D printing achieve a breakthrough.

Digitalisation and industry 4.0 | future of production | Smart factory | Worth knowing | What will work look like in the future? There is no clear-cut answer for this difficult question. However, it is possible to say how it might look like – that is what we do with our foresight series: In our second scenario, efficiency is everything: production is highly automated, factories are deserted. Human workers are only required for monitoring and emergency purposes – everything else is performed by machines.
