Thirteen companies and six research organisations with compatible research and development programmes in the Factories of the Future have joined forces to advance the concept. They have identified four areas in which decisive breakthroughs can be achieved in Slovenia in the near future: control technologies, tooling, robotics, and photonics. Several value chains were identified within which new products will be developed in the near future.
