IPROMS 2005 - An event organised by the I*PROMS NoE
The I*PROMS Network of Excellence organises its first Virtual Conference on Intelligent Production Machines and Systems.
To deliver increased competitiveness for manufacturing in 2020, there is a need to focus research on advanced production machines and systems that meet dynamic business and value drivers. Emerging soft computing and intelligent systems techniques can provide tools to help enterprises achieve goals widely regarded as critical to the future of manufacturing, including: rapid shifts in production from one product to another; faster implementation of new concepts in products; faster delivery of products to customers; streamlining of operations to focus on essential business needs and elimination of unnecessary and wasteful activities.
