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.

Local sustainability at GRUNDFOS

Szilvia Gärtner, Senior Environmental Engineer, GRUNDFOS

How can we be sustainable where we produce and where we emit?
The Danish pumping station started its operations at a time when all of Europe was still suffering from the damage of war. Creativity and perseverance paid off. Today Grundfos is at the forefront of pump manufacturing. Its products can bring clean drinking water to hundreds of people in areas where there was no hope before.
The durability and timelessness of the product is truly unique in today's 'break and replace' world.
Since it works mostly with water, it's one of the pillars of its sustainability strategy. Its goals include reducing the amount of drinking water used in manufacturing by 50%, harnessing rainwater and creating a water cycle. By 2030, it aims to provide clean drinking water for 300 million people in poorer regions of the developing world.
It also places a strong emphasis on climate change-related activities such as reducing energy use and air pollutant emissions.
These are all very fine goals, but what happens on the small scale at the Székesfehérvár plant? What can we do to translate these grandiose goals into everyday life?

16:00 - 16:20

Presentation by Péter Éliás

Péter Éliás, Head of Environmental Protection
