For Antje Wild, the factory of the future is one thing above all: flexible. Roof, walls and floor are fixed, everything else can be adapted to new orders, production methods or business models. The solution to this is our intelligent floor. In the Tech Podcast we take a look at this visual highlight and find out what it can do technically.

Transmitting energy, delivering data and media - in the podcast we get to the bottom of the Intelligent floor.

In Bosch Rexroth's vision for the factory of the future, it is particularly adaptable. Antje Wild is responsible for Partnerships & Digital Business in the Factory of the Future and introduces the intelligent floor in our industry podcast. This transmits energy wirelessly, for example. Up to 3 kW are already available - more are also possible at the customer's request. In the interview, we learn how the value stream of a factory can be adapted to new orders overnight.

The visualisation in the floor can also flexibly adjust walkways, define safety zones and logistics areas. And the intelligent floor can do even more; it collects data via built-in sensors and returns information via LED signals. What is this and how can users use it? Will cables soon disappear into the floor?

And how is such a floor controlled and connected to the machines on the factory floor? Antje Wild gives exciting insights into the development and possibilities offered by such an infrastructure platform. Listen to this episode right now and learn more about the innovation that Bosch Rexroth is developing together with its partners. Discover a new dimension of flexibility in manufacturing processes - uniformly controlled via the management shell in Industry 4.0.

You can find this and other episodes on the factory of the future in our tech podcast channel "Industry rethought" on all known platforms or you can subscribe directly here via Podigee (only available in German).
