Who is the Tools working group suitable for?
The working group is of interest to companies along the entire process chain of tool manufacturing. This includes tool, machine and cooling lubricant manufacturers as well as coating companies and user companies. It is aimed in particular at decision-makers and specialists from management, production and development, as well as from the areas of product and innovation management.
Key questions addressed by the working group
- How does digitalisation bring us closer to autonomous machine tools?
- How do we address resource scarcity and ensure the availability of products?
- How do we increase the performance and robustness of tools and processes?
- How do we reduce energy consumption in manufacturing?
Next event
The members of our working group meet every six months for two consecutive days. The meetings include an exchange of ideas and expert contributions on current project topics, as well as a joint evening event on the first day. On the second day, we discuss new project ideas.
