Workshop 1: Digital Manufacturing Technologies for Zero-defect Industry 4.0 Production – DIGIMAN4.0 EU Project Workshop
Monday 12th June 2023
Room: S01
Time: 14:00 – 17:00
Chair: Dr Guido Tosello, PhD Associate Professor, Technical University of Denmark, DK
Industry 4.0 identifies a strategy aimed at enabling industry to a transition towards future ways of production. It refers to a set of recent innovations that are currently disrupting value and process chains, with a substantial impact particularly to the manufacturing sector. Industry 4.0 gravitates around one core rationale: recent progress in a variety of digital technologies has created unprecedented possibilities that result in huge improvements in operational effectiveness for manufacturing industries. Industry 4.0 consists of essentially 9 clusters of key-enabling digital technologies that can radically innovate and disrupt the current manufacturing paradigms: Big Data and Analytics; Autonomous Robots; Simulation; Horizontal and Vertical System Integration; The Industrial Internet of Things; Cybersecurity; The Cloud; Additive Manufacturing; Augmented Reality. The Horizon2020 EU project DIGIMAN4.0 (https://www.digiman4-0.mek.dtu.dk/) (2019-2024) has provided research training to 15 ESRs (Early Stage Researchers) in the field of digital manufacturing technologies for Industry 4.0 production proposing:
- (1) Innovative technological solutions for high quality, high throughput and high precision production (zero-defect precision mass-manufacturing of high-performance products) for the manufacturing industry.
- (2) Cutting edge multi-disciplinary training in different domains (Precision Manufacturing Technologies, Digital Manufacturing, , Integrated Production Metrology, Lean Manufacturing, Production Management).
- (3) Validation of different digital manufacturing technologies by integration into process chains for the production of advanced components in several sectors (medical and healthcare, machine tool, electronics, automotive, aerospace).
The workshop will present the main results of the DIGIMAN 4.0 project to achieve zero-defect precision manufacturing applying digital technologies.

Workshop 2: Digitalisation in Precision Engineering
Monday 12th June 2023
Room: S09
Time: 09:00 – 12:00
Chairs: Dr Lars Schönemann & Dr Oltmann Riemer, University of Bremen – Leibniz Institute for Material Oriented Technologies – IWT, DE
Novel digital tools and data science technologies have contributed significantly to precision engineering and help to increase efficiency, accuracy, and reliability. The use of digital technologies, e.g. computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and simulation and modelling tools have enabled the design and manufacture of increasingly complex components and parts with a high degree of precision. Moreover, digitalization has contributed also enabled to integrate different manufacturing processes resulting in streamlined and cost-effective production processes. Overall, the adoption of digitalization in precision engineering has enabled the industry to meet the growing demand for high-quality, customized products while reducing production costs and lead times.
This euspen workshop will address the industrial and scientific aspects of digitalization and their specific impact in the field of precision engineering.

Workshop 4: Ask Me Anything (AMA)
Monday 12th June 2023
Room: TBC
Time: 15:00 – 17:00
Fee: €55:00 – Includes copy of the book “Leadership skills for engineers” by Jaco Friedrich
Chairs: Dr Ir. Jelm Franse, ASML, NL & Dr Byron Knapp, Professional Instruments Co., US
Workshop Objectives
This workshop aims to help people active in the the field of precision engineering discuss whatever issues they are dealing with as their career progresses from individual working engineers to members of teams, team leaders or managers. Topic examples are; dealing with top management, managing projects, stakeholders, making convincing presentations, convincing others, change management, decision making etc. etc.). During the workshop, participants can discuss with experienced people (role models) and get advice so that the next generation of engineers becoming leaders do not have to go through similar dilemmas from scratch.
How does it work?
Workshop participants will receive information about the role models experience (areas of work, resume) to enable participants to prepare questions in advance which can be sent to the workshop facilitator. During the start of the workshop, there will also be some time for participants to come up with additional questions. The questions can be about anything that the participants would like to discuss related to their work, working relations, being effective, leading teams, managing stakeholders, managing change, …… (whatever is on their mind).
At the start of the workshop, the facilitator will give a brief overview of the questions already submitted and will invite participants to prepare more questions, so that participants can build on these if they would like to sharpen a question or add something else.
The role model will then join the group, which typically sits in a semicircle. He/she briefly introduces him/herself to the group, and the facilitator then kicks off the questioning by the group members.
Typically, the role model will receive all kinds of questions, ranging from vision on a technology or technical issue, to social and ethical questions and also often dilemma’s between private and professional life, dealing with stressful situations and practical leadership issues.
The questions will trigger the role model to start telling stories from his/her personal experience, which typically makes it a very authentic and meaningful session.
Additional Info for participants
The participants will also be handed a copy of the book “Leadership skills for engineers” by Jaco Friedrich, who has worked with many groups of engineers that have had to deal with becoming leaders in their respective companies and institutes. Many of the cases in his book are direct write-ups of the kinds of issues people were struggling with and are discussed in these kinds of AMA workshops.
