🇪🇺 - France 🇫🇷 – GERMANY 🇩🇪 – ITALY 🇮🇹 Trilateral European meeting: Competitiveness, Productivity, and Green Technologies   I had the honor of participating in the trilateral meeting of the three economy ministers Robert Habeck, Bruno Le Maire, and Adolfo Urso, bringing the perspective of the European robotics and automation industry in my capacity as Founder and Shareholder of the HAHN Automation Group, CEO & Founder of the United Robotics Group, and board member of VDMA Robotics.   The United Robotics Group, a European project with locations in Germany, France, Spain, and the USA, is committed to strengthening European tech sovereignty.   Key topics such as European energy pricing, streamlining bureaucracy, AI, harmonization, decarbonization, regulation, tax credits, and focusing instead of regulating were prominent themes brought up by industry representatives from Michelin | Schneider Electric | Heidelberg Materials | Siemens | MAN Energy Solutions | MATERRUP Ciments bas carbone | Waga Energy | Enel Group | Danieli Group | Pirelli | alpitronic .   The demographic evolution in Europe necessitates digital transformation, particularly in healthcare, where Artificial Intelligence and service robotics are crucial technologies to automate processes and alleviate labor shortages. In manufacturing, it's vital to minimize resource usage and enhance energy efficiency through robotics and automation, leading to improved process security and energy savings.   I'm excited about the unanimity among industry representatives that, alongside challenges, there are opportunities to be seized, and the European economic axis comprising France, Germany, and Italy continues to hold significant potential in leading the twin transition based on European values.   #UnitedRoboticsGroup #HAHNAutomationGroup #VDMA

Our topic of the day: The digital product passport, which consolidates all essential data on components, materials, and more into one dataset! From design through manufacturing to disposal – for a sustainable product lifecycle. 💻 ♻️ Yesterday and today, the ZVEI e. V. Industrial Associations Electrical Winding & Insulation Systems and Transformers & Power Supplies are holding their general assembly in Amberg. Participants from BLOCK include our Managing Director Udo Thiel, in his capacity as Chairman of the Transformers & Power Supplies Industrial Association, our General Manager Kai Heinemann, who spoke on "Requirements for Introducing a Digital Product Passport for Industry 4.0," and providing operational support, the Head of our Digital Unit Dr. Marek Siatkowski. In addition to presentations and lively discussion rounds, there was also a tour of THE IMPULSE. The digital visitor center of Siemens in Amberg represents the technical challenges of the future we deal with every day: more flexibility, shorter innovation cycles, and the most sustainable manufacturing possible. 💡More about us: https://bit.ly/49WXgeh #DigitalProductPassport #FutureOfIndustry #Industry40
