Industry 4.0 test laboratory for TU Graz and 20 domestic companies, funded by the ministry for infrastructure. More pictures available at the end of the text The ministry for infrastructure is setting up its own pilot factory for Industry 4.0 in Styria. Domestic firms will be able to try out digitalised production technologies in the test lab in Graz without disturbing their own operation. Research will be carried out on new production methods at the "smartfactory@tugraz" through which small quantities will be able to be viably produced, such as custom-made cars. Special attention will be paid to data security and reliability of computer-controlled production systems. Graz University of Technology will have overall responsibility and will participate in the project together with about 20 domestic companies. The ministry for infrastructure is investing two million euros in the Graz location, and about the same amount will be contributed from partners from business and science.
