SPECIAL EVENT

The concept of a sustainable and resilient digital factory requires a reliable human-machine coevolution relationship enabled by AI, digital technologies, and collaborative robotics. In the context of digitalization and the circular economy, one of the key challenges for policymakers and managers is to adopt profitable technologies while prioritizing and safeguarding human well-being.

This approach embodies the principles of the Industry 5.0 paradigm, focusing on the integration of digital technologies and automation with strategies centered on digital twins and Human Digital Twins in future manufacturing systems.

The event aims to facilitate the discussions between experts from both industry and academia, fostering an exchange of ideas and perspectives.

With this purpose, a special focus during the event will be placed on productivity, sustainability, and enabling technologies within the framework of funded projects and initiatives, such as the Italian PNRR or other financing funds, through a poster session planned during the Welcome Party.

This poster session is an opportunity to disseminate projects and the research group's funded activities, which can be exposed during the event.

We warmly encourage you to join the event by submitting a poster, and invite you to register as follows.

Dr. Claudio Colangeli is currently employed at Siemens Industry Software in Leuven (Belgium). He is working as Research Engineering Manager for the IoT and Artificial Intelligence research team dealing with experimental applications in mechatronics and transportation industry. After obtaining a PhD degree in Industrial Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Marche (Italy) in 2017, his career in industry continues at Siemens with the role of technical expert in acoustics with focus on virtual environments for subjective and objective assessment of noise and vibrations perception. Over the years, he expands his research focus towards digital twins and IoT-based technologies, currently including processing automation and data-centric AI.

Faouzi Derbel is Vice-Rector for Research and Sustainability at Leipzig University of Applied Sciences (HTWK Leipzig) and has been Professor of Smart Diagnostics and Online Monitoring at the Faculty of Engineering since 2013. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE. He received his Dipl.-Ing. degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology from the Technical University of Munich and his Dr.-Ing. degree from the University of the Bundeswehr Munich. From 2000 to 2012, he held various positions in the industrial sector, including Strategic Product Manager and Systems Engineer at Siemens Building Technologies in Munich, as well as Head of Research and Development at Siemens Building Technologies in Mühlhausen and at QUNDIS Advanced Measuring Solutions. In 2006, together with his team, he received the worldwide “Top+ Award for Product Innovation” within Siemens AG for the Wireless Sub-Metering Solution, and in 2009 the “Product Success Story Award” from Texas Instruments. Prof. Derbel is actively involved in national and international committees, including the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies of DIN and VDE). His research focuses on the development of distributed self-powered sensor and measurement systems, including efficient signal processing methods for condition monitoring and state estimation of technical assets and smart grids.
