The world is changing from having different separate products and production processes to an integrated IOT world with fully networked, automated, connected and AI supported processes. When you drive a car, maybe in 15 years from now you use the mobile and connect the IT infrastructure to everything in the life. How will such a world look like, How will a life cycle management in this future work?
Dr Andreas Riel is a Prof. at Grenoble INP and did his Habilitation in Innovation Management. He has 10 years experience with AVL in Austria, and works in leading industry projects with ISCN as a senior consultant since 15 years. He is and has been safety and security coach to leading automotive industry projects at supplier but also at OEM level. He is a program committee member at CIRP (world leading manufacturing engineering conference series) and member of the book editing team and program committee member of EuroSPI since many years. He is involved in leading research projects at Grenoble INP about life cycle engineering and manufacturing.
Supported by the Marie Curie EU project OPENINNOTRAIN (secondment Dr Messnarz in cooperation with TU Hamburg) the topic of frugal innovation has been integrated with a discussion from 2024 onwards. The topic of TUHH about frugal innovation where car makers can operate and develop at lower cost by still keeping a high level of quality and safety is important for the sustainability of European production and design processes.
