In line with the ​​"Industry 4.0" idea

A whole array of market leaders present much more than machines -  the companies showcase entire production lines whose concept fulfils the "Industry 4.0" idea and requirements.  Production lines are fully computerized, every production stage is monitored and based on robots' co-operation.  The ubiquitous automation and digitization of industrial production is a trend that dominates 2017's PLASTPOL.  A women's handbag can be produced in just a few dozen of seconds - this achievement is owed to coordinated machine operation ...
