Manufacturing Data Technology (MDT) Europe 2005, Focusing on Manufacturing Engineering From An Information Life Cycle Perspective, Will Be Held June 20-22 in Gothenburg, Sweden
Manufacturing Data Technology Europe, MDT Europe, is a new annual international conference aiming to explore challenges, solutions and best practices within manufacturing. MDT Europe is focusing on product data management from a manufacturing viewpoint, the reuse of data from the product definition systems and the reuse of data for the manufacturing system itself. These issues will be addressed as well as the information gap between engineering and production.
The theme for 2005 is-capturing essentials in engineering and manufacturing.
This is what industry representatives say:
"The amount of Manufacturing Data we need to manage is rapidly increasing. We need better and more standardized solutions, especially for communication and management of Manufacturing Data. MDT Europe can certainly play an important role in this development." Says Sven Hjelm, Dr of Science, Production Research and Consulting, Scania.
"Volvo is currently focusing on improving management of product structures within production as well as improving management of manufacturing related data. That is why we support MDT Europe and encourage anyone within the manufacturing area to attend and contribute to this new conference!" says Tore Janson, Vice President, IT Applications Governance, AB Volvo.
Participation is expected to come from industries such as automotive, aerospace and defense, machinery, high tech electronics and telecom. This event provides a unique, open and neutral forum where users, academia, standards bodies and suppliers connect, exchange ideas and experiences and create something together. MDT Europe is more than listening to presentations - MDT Europe offers a new environment for proactive involvement in discussions about important issues and solutions for managing manufacturing data. The speakers will provide stimulating thoughts which are the seeds for interactive sessions and conversations. As part of the conference attendees will have the opportunity of finding out the current status of vendor solutions in an exhibition adjacent to the conference. The conference starts with the World Café session, a valuable and fun way to start the conference.
The event is organized by Eurostep in co-operation with CIMdata, Pathway Guidance and KTH and sponsored by UGS. It will take place once every year, each time in a different country in Europe.
