We are proud to announce that ColVisTec’s We are proud to announce our participation at the Farbe und Lack Industrie 4.0 Conference in Kassel, Germany. The event will take place on April 17 and 18, 2018 at the Best Western Plus Hotel Kassel City.

Over the course of two days, the conference will gather professionals working in the German paint & coatings industry. They will discuss concrete solutions and steps to exploit the potential of Industry 4.0 in the production of paints and varnishes. Industry 4.0 is the term used to describe the ongoing global trend of digitization and automation of the manufacturing process.

This conference will provide an opportunity for all the major industry players to discuss how far they’ve come in implementing these solutions. The participants will include manufacturers who have already taken steps in digitizing their process, as well as providers of digital services and solutions that can help them explore the potential of their company even further.

The conference will begin at 9:15 on Wednesday, April 18, with a keynote speech by Mike Bach from Prisma titled “Digitization and Big Data – What It Is, How It Works, and What Is It Good For.” Bach’s 45-minute lecture will introduce the main topic of the conference and cover the key aspects of the Industry 4.0 process.

The rest of the day’s program will include eight more lectures by some of the leading professionals in the coatings field. These lectures will cover topics like logistics, data collection, and analysis.
