MINAM Workshop for Micro- and Nanomanufacturing in Wroclaw, 25th October

admin — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 14:25:19 +0000

MINAM 2.0 presents a Workshop for Micro- and Nanomanufacturing on 25^th October, 10:00 am in Wroclaw, the capital of Lower Silesia Region.
The Workshop takes place in the frame of MANUFUTURE 2011 Conference on October 24-25th.

The major goal of this session is to establish Micro and Nano-manufacturing as an important part of the manufacturing community in Europe. Needs and challenges will be discussed and collected by an open workshop organized by key players in Micro- and Nano-manufacturing and related ETPs of topics near to manufacturing.

The Special Session will start with an introduction to the CSA MINAM 2.0 by organizational members, but also by industrial representatives, presenting the MINAM Roadmap, a new SRA draft and some ideas of common collaboration with a special focus of East – West Cooperation. Based on this a one hour discussion with Industries and ETPs is planned, focusing on the identification of strategies, technical and commercial needs, providing a substantial input to the MINAM roadmapping activities, programmes and calls of the European Research Area.

Participation is free of charge.

4th Workshop of the AET- community

admin — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 08:51:03 +0000

Brussels, 9th June 2010
Working Group on Agricultural Engineering Technology
Representation of the State of Baden-Württemberg to the EU, Rue Belliard 60-62, B-1040 Brussels, Belgium

For many reasons, the AET community has to make clear that agricultural technology is production technology. Manufacturing takes place on the fields, in greenhouses or in livestock units.
The challenge is to explain that agricultural manufacturing has to take place in a highly automated industrial-like way and that this is the pre-condition for highest efficiency and sustainability of agricultural production contributing to the development social base conditions in rural areas and thus giving a highly beneficial impact for the European society in total.
This is a fundamental change of paradigms which we have to mediate outside our agricultural engineering community.

The Tampere Manufacturing Summit 2011, 23-25 May, 2011

admin — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 15:24:53 +0000

The summit will be held on 23rd and 24th of May 2011 in Tampere, Finland at Tampere Hall. After the seminar on 25th of May you’ll have a possibility to participate in technical visits and/or take part in a networking and brokerage event and related face-to-face meetings.

This year the Summit is still followed by the International Symposium on Assembly and Manufacturing (ISAM 2011 on 25-27 May, www.tut.fi/isam2011). These two events form the Tampere Manufacturing Week 2011 offering during the week in total more than 120 expert presentations in the field of manufacturing.

The Summit will bring together front line industrial manufacturers, researchers and other stake holders to share experiences and ideas about different aspects of manufacturing and to discuss the key enablers to improved global competitivity and business profitability in manufacturing industry.

This year, the theme of the summit is «Lean and Sustainable».

Lean manufacturing aims at cutting costs by making the business more efficient and responsive to market needs, and can result also in green benefits by elimination of non-value activities. ‘Lean and Sustainable’ combines Lean and Green practices which is becoming one of the foremost strategies to achieve leading edge productivity while minimizing at the same time the environmental impacts.
