At the MSV International Engineering Fair in Brno, which took place from 10 to 13 October, the main topics were the digital factory and artificial intelligence. We saw presentations on Digital Factory 2.0, met many exhibitors and learnt about case studies and established several contacts with potential partners. One topic of Industry 4.0 was the increased networking of industrial companies and their security. Seminars were also organised on advanced and unconventional technologies used in advanced engineering.
