Working smarter
This is what CEO Andreas Müller has to say about the current Spotlight topic "Smart Solutions."
At GF, we use advanced technologies and digitalization to meet the needs of our customers. But what about our inhouse processes? How do we make our work more effective, and safer, for our people? Imagine a “smart factory” where physical production processes are combined with digital devices that continuously collect and share data. A place where artificial intelligence uses data to monitor production standards, predict problems and help prevent them – while also reducing exposure to dangerous materials or to very hard physical work.
Big data analytics, cloud computing and additive manufacturing are only a few examples of how we do “smart work” at GF, extending the capabilities of both our people and our factories. Smart work, and technological progress, are enablers that help us do better, faster and safer work. We can make better decisions and improve our footprint on the planet – saving energy, minimizing waste and lowering costs.
GF is driving profitable growth through intelligent and sustainable solutions. Through smart innovation, we aim to set new standards, for people and society, to respond to an ever-evolving landscape. We also want to embrace these new ways of doing work and stay in tune with a transformation that is happening as much inside of GF as outside.
