[industry 4.0 conference]

Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0, digitization, automation.

 

They are the most frequently quoted expressions in the field of technology, but what do these terms mean in the practice of industrial companies? At the Smart Factory ConnAction conference, you can familiarize yourself first-hand with domestic manufacturing companies that are already at the forefront of the introduction and application of IT, human resources, and management tasks and processes related to Industry 4.0, and they can’t wait to share their experiences with you.

 

Factory visits, case studies, and interactive workshops

 

This year, we are also trying to provide inspiration for the introduction of Industry 4.0, and we will also speak frankly and openly about the difficulties and pitfalls.

 

With our Com-Forth Team we welcome all returning guests and new interested parties for the 9th time at one of the most defining professional events of Industry 4.0.

About us

[The Team]

We are working on the innovation of the Hungarian industry and increasing the efficiency of our customers.


Com-Forth Kft. is a 100% Hungarian-owned family business. With our innovative industrial IT solutions we have already helped hundreds of manufacturing companies and other businesses to make their production and communication between their machines and equipment more efficient over the past 35 years. We have done all this with hardware and software used for industrial purposes and by applying unique
automation solutions with the support of well-known manufacturers, such as Moxa, Opto22, GE Digital and Microsoft.

 

Our clients are key players in the energy, pharmaceutical, chemical, food, oil and gas industries, as well as system integrators engaged in automation, IT and security technology.

 

We believe in the importance of knowledge sharing: our annual Smart Factory ConnAction Conference and our Industrial IoT Professional Days held several times a year are now considered among the most popular and most important events in the industry by representatives of the profession.

 

Industry 4.0 is a rather complex field. Most companies are cautious about how to get involved, how to get started and which improvements to begin with. Our experienced engineering colleagues are happy to help you take the first steps.
