Techcafé | Artificial Intelligence

This is the Techcafé

Welcome to the Mikrocentrum Techcafé. The central place in the clubhouse for the high-tech and manufacturing industry where we have in-depth discussions on important topics in the manufacturing industry. Whether you are an engineer, designer, entrepreneur or student, our Techcafé offers you the chance to network, exchange ideas and learn more about the latest developments in the industry.

The Techcafé is organised by DSPE and Mikrocentrum

Varied topics

Each edition focuses on a different topic, ranging from smart production processes to sustainability and from automation to 3D printing. During the Techcafé, industry experts share their knowledge and experience. The aim of our Techcafé is to inspire, inform and encourage participants to develop and implement new ideas in their own organisations. Keep up to date with the techcafé via the LinkedIn page of Mikrocentrum.

Artificial Intelligence programme

AI enables technical systems to perceive their environment, deal with these perceptions and solve problems to achieve a specific goal. The computer receives data - already prepared and collected via its own sensors, such as a camera - processes it and responds to it. AI systems are able to adapt their behaviour to some extent, analysing the effect of previous actions and working autonomously.

But what can we do with it in the manufacturing business? Where should we start, or have we already started? This and much more will be addressed at the Techcafé on 20 April. Maarten Roos will talk to 4 experts in this field.
