In early February, more than 50 representatives from car manufacturers and automotive suppliers visited the Smart Press Shop run by Schuler and Porsche in Halle, Germany, to gain an insight into how digital assistance systems improve the production of car body and structural parts. The plant operates on Schuler’s “Digital Suite”, a suite of products for networking forming technology, including a system for tracking components, simulating part flow, and monitoring dies and lubrication circuits.
