Northern Netherlands as Region of Smart Factories

A network of companies and knowledge institutes in the Northern Netherlands has taken the initiative to develop new technologies to substantially improve the productivity of the manufacturing industry in the years to come.
Ways of increasing productivity with existing technologies, such as automation or ‘lean management’, are quickly running out. Before long it will no longer be enough to be highly advanced. The factory of the future will think for itself, correct itself and continuously improve. The key themes will be: zero defects and first-time-right, and the challenge of having even highly complex or fast processes meet these requirements (Press Release NOM, 11 February 2014).
