Quality and Industry 4.0 Plenary Session
(1 p.m. – 5 p.m.)
It goes without saying that Industry 4.0 resonates with Quality Management and related quality assurance measures. What are the current trends and how can we respond to them? What are the newly emerging opportunities in the quality management? Is Industry 4.0 truly a breakthrough or just the result of natural technological development? These will be the topics discussed by top experts from the Czech Republic and abroad (simultaneous interpreting provided).
The plenary session will be hosted by Petr Koten, Managing Director of the Czech Society for Quality
The plenary session will be simultaneously translated (Czech and English language).
