How does a manufacturer put circular construction into practice? And what can artificial intelligence mean for managing product information?
Two very different questions that will be explored during the FBS event on Thursday 29 October at Faay in Vianen. The programme includes a production tour, insights from the factory floor and a presentation by ZeeBoer. Manufacturers who are not FBS members are also very welcome.
Faay will welcome participants to its production facility in Vianen. The manufacturer will explain its circular building products and the decisions involved in developing and producing them. A guided tour will also give visitors the opportunity to see how these products are made.
It’s a great opportunity to take a look behind the scenes at a fellow manufacturer. After all, circular construction is widely discussed, but how does a manufacturer actually put it into practice?
In addition to the visit to Faay, Peter Veldhuizen from ZeeBoer will give a presentation on AI and product data.
Artificial intelligence offers new opportunities to check, enrich and make product information more accessible. But what is already possible today? Where are the limitations? And what does this mean for the information you manage as a manufacturer?
Peter will explore the opportunities AI offers and explain why reliable, well-structured product data remains essential. This is not some distant vision of the future, but a topic that every manufacturer will have to address sooner or later.
The event is organised by Vereniging FBS and is relevant to manufacturers and suppliers of building products. Not only because of the two topics on the programme, but also because it offers an opportunity to exchange experiences with industry peers.
You don’t have to be an FBS member to attend. So, whether you’re curious about Faay’s production process, want to learn more about AI and product data, or simply enjoy meeting other manufacturers, we look forward to seeing you in Vianen.
