Engineering | People at thyssenkrupp | Smart factory | 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. For example, when ambitious female engineers like Qingyan Wu put their all into significantly reducing the scrap rate in our Chinese forging shop in Changzhou – and helping our tools find more “quality time.”

Engineering | Smart factory | 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 #newtk strategy, we are putting performance center stage – and innovate our business with smart ideas. One of them: using artificial neural networks to determine the quality of ball screws much more precisely than before.

Automotive-sector | Digitalisation and industry 4.0 | future of production | Smart factory | 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 #newtk strategy, we are putting performance center stage. Often, even small but clever changes are enough to significantly optimize operative processes – for example, the use of innovative scanner gloves.

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.
