The project team has met in Košice to discuss challenges related to outputs. Our friends from Košice prepared a surprise. We went on a study visit to US Steel Košice. We learned how Industry 4.0 approach is used in the entire steel production process, from raw materials, through hot rolling to galvanized steel sheets.
We would like to thank the management of the enterprise for making the trip possible. In a special way, we would like to thank our guide, Mr František Gregor, who explained the intricacies of production processes to us. He is also the author of the photos.
