A Pop Up Factory at Pack Expo - MFG HUB 277

Controls engineers, packaging leaders, plant ops teams and everyone heading to PackExpo. Episode 277 of Manufacturing Hub is a Siemens Pack Expo preview with Andrea and Davide, focused on their Pop-Up Factory experience It’s a modular, movable factory with a virtual twin, live controls, and a physical palletizing robot. A visitor creates a production order and you can follow it from recipe to pallet. We'll dig into: 🔵 What you’ll see and do if you walk up to the Pop-Up Factory. 🔵 One order, end to end: recipe, mixer, controls, palletizing. 🔵 How the virtual factory, controls, and robot stay in sync. 🔵 What an AI model decides for the mixer vs. a hardcoded recipe. 🔵 How production and quality data feed back into the model. 🔵 CPG flavor changeovers, and where a movable factory fits beyond a trade show. We also cover what to try and ask at the Siemens booth, so you can plan your show floor time. Pack Expo runs October 18 to 21 at McCormick Place in Chicago. Join our Sponsor Siemens at their booth S 4266.
