The Future Factory Initiative is a joint effort between SAP Research and industrial partners to foster co-innovation, research, and development for the manufacturing industry. Located in Dresden, Germany, this living lab presents leading edge software and the latest hardware with different scenarios, SAP products, and prototypes in a typical discrete manufacturing environment.
Together with the Manufacturing Solutions GTM team and LOB Marketing, the SAP Research Mobile Computing & User Experience area recently created a 3D virtual version of the Future Factory, showcasing the entire manufacturing lifecycle. The animation mimics the actual physical factory and brings each step in the manufacturing cycle to life in a highly interactive way.
You also have a chance to explore SAP's manufacturing solutions and get a preview of potential future solutions. Definitely worth a look!
The app can be viewed here.
