As we enter the Fourth Industrial Revolution, or Industry 4.0, our factories are becoming smarter and more sustainable. One of the most compelling examples of a smart factory is located in the town of Althofen, Austria. Flex Althofen began its Industry 4.0 journey in 2017, using disruptive technologies to transform its operations, digitizing and automating processes to maximize visibility and outcomes across the entire manufacturing ecosystem.
In 2021, the World Economic Forum Global Lighthouse Network welcomed Flex Althofen into its community of advanced manufacturers. We are excited to share the best practices that have enabled us to better serve our customers, minimize our environmental footprint and give our employees new opportunities to grow and advance.
