CU.BE Ulm – Model Factory

Industrial users are facing tougher global competition and must continuously increase productivity. The experience of recent years has shown that the framework conditions have changed permanently: Market volatility has increased and manufacturers must be able to allow production capacities to ‘breathe’. The trend towards individualisation is leading to ever smaller quantities down to batch size 1, which can only be produced economically with more flexible and scalable solutions. The development towards Industry 4.0 will foreseeably lead to the networking of all means of production and participants in the value chain. This places new demands on flexible, standardised and networkable automation solutions with open interfaces and a constantly growing proportion of software.

Our vision of the factory of the future is brought to life in the model factory.

Using concrete use cases and real production scenarios, including intralogistics and distribution, we showcase our powerful yet practical portfolio to give you a real sense of what manufacturing of the future will look like. The model factory offers a complete digital twin so that partners and customers can also carry out virtual tests. Impressions from the re-opening see in the video on the right side.

Factory of the Future

Bosch Rexroth has derived the vision of the factory of the future from its experience as a leading user and leading supplier for Industry 4.0. In it, only the floor, walls and roof are static. Machines and systems are mobile and are supplied with power via the intelligent floor. They independently form ever new production networks for multi-variant production or the scaling of quantities. Wireless communication with each other and with higher-level systems ensures a seamless exchange of information via open standards. With the factory of the future, users can flexibly adapt quantities to volatile demand and economically map the smallest quantities down to batch size 1.

Experience and Learning Space

The Model Factory plays an important role in the development of innovative, cross-technology solutions for customers, users, Bosch Rexroth and partners. This is where visionary ideas and potentials become tangible – for example, how the conversion of the manufacturing flow for different products can be completed within just a few seconds in hardware and software.

Innovation and Co-Creation Space

As in the real world, Bosch Rexroth relied on cooperation for the Rexroth Model Factory right from the start. Bosch Rexroth consistently relies on compatibility with globally accepted standards for communication and programming in all technologies. This is the basic prerequisite for the realization of the factory of the future and future-proof solutions for customers and users. Bosch Rexroth will therefore work continuously with numerous scientific institutes and industrial partners in the model factory.
