French-German Symposium on XIRCON
The theme of the French-German symposium was "eXtended Intelligence for Rapid Cognitive Reconfiguration", which also encapsulates the essence of the Innovation Campus Future Mobility project XIRCON.
Rapid reconfiguration in manufacturing is critical in today's fast-paced market, where volatile customer demands, short product life cycles, and diverse product variants necessitate swift, adaptable manufacturing systems. Traditionally, these adjustments are performed manually, leading to time-consuming and error-prone processes. The XIRCON project endeavors to transform this scenario by offering a holistic solution that integrates Digital Twins, eXtended Reality, and Artificial Intelligence. This initiative aims to facilitate faster, more efficient reconfiguration processes, minimizing downtime and enhancing overall productivity.
