Early June Universal Robots invited to its headquarters and production facility in Denmark journalists from a few countries from the Central and Eastern Europe. Visit to the Danish Odense, robotic cluster with around 200 companies from the sector, was an opportunity to discuss key trends within human-robot collaboration and further development of the cobotic technology. The meeting was opened by Jürgen von Hollen, UR President. Later, journalists took part in a hands-on training about programming of collaborative robots and a presentation about UR+ ecosystem (showroom presenting solutions compatible with UR arms). The last part of the official meeting was a visit to the production facility of Universal Robots in which also robots work. The second day was dedicated to a visit in production facility, headquarters and showroom of Mobile Industrial Robots which manufactures autonomous mobile robots. Journalists had a chance to program and handle AMR robots: MiR100 and MiR100 on their own, as well as talk about technology, business benefits and market development. Journalists from Poland, Bulgaria, Czechia, Hungary and Romania responsible for press, online media and TV participated in the meeing.

For the second time, Siemens addressed its training program at female students of technical universities with the aim to improve their qualifications and facilitate their professional start, with particular emphasis on Industry 4.0. Out of almost 200 applications from 26 technical universities in Poland, 30 students were qualified for the program.

Workshops with Siemens board members and industry experts were held in Warsaw on 14^th, 22^nd and 25^th March. The participants had the chance to, among others, test AR goggles, familiarize themselves with a KUKA robot, find out about the newly-built Mercedes-Benz engine factory in Jawor and take part in a video workshop with blogger Janina Bąk about building a personal brand online. At the end, certificates of attendance were handed to the students by the Siemens CEO, Dominika Bettman.

A competition for the best film entitled “Engineer’s work as an answer to the modern world challenges” was announced during the workshops. The prize was a trip to the world’s largest industrial fair, Hannover Messe 2019, alongside Siemens experts. This opportunity was given to four winners chosen by the jury, representing the following technical universities: Lublin University of Technology, Warsaw University of Technology, Silesian University of Technology and Wrocław University of Science and Technology.

Perspektywy Educational Foundation and the Ministry of Enterprise and Technology were patrons of the program. Omega Communication was responsible for the concept and implementation of the project.

TriVision – a Danish company delivering vision technology solutions for the production industry – debuted on the Polish market. The company presented its key solutions – VisioPointer and SmartInspector – during the Warsaw Pack 2019 fairs. They automate control processes, reduce manual work, improve the quality of products, provide savings on costly withdrawals. The systems detect packaging unsealing, quality errors, incorrect labelling. As a result, defected packaging reject valuable goods less frequently, which leads to significant savings and reduced downtimes. Omega Communication was responsible for media relations, including arranging interviews during the fairs.

The change in organization towards digital transformation must come from above. Without the right attitude of the managing persons, the product labelled as “Industry 4.0” won’t do much, even though the technology necessary for digitization of processes has long been available, said Łukasz Otta, director of business development at Siemens, during the Zmieniamy Polski Przemysł Forum (a forum on changing the Polish industry) session on February 27 in Warsaw.

It was already the 19th edition of the event, which regularly hosts experts from Siemens. Łukasz Otta participated in the discussion “Modern factory, modern production. Industry 4.0 in Poland”, while Mariusz Kondraciuk, director of the Energy Management sector, took part in the panel “Power industry. Polish power industry in the heat of change”. In the discussion, he emphasized that the growing number of consumers (who become prosumers) and energy clusters is an inevitable trend in the energy sector.
