About us

“What we do today determines the type of organization we become tomorrow.  Together, we will modernize and digitalize our factories better. Together, we will accelerate the cost-effective integration and adoption of AI digital technologies. Together, we will drive the efficiency and resiliency of our Zero Defects (ZX) Manufacturing process further. Together, we will master repurposing and respond better to demand peaks and global disruptions. Together, we will lead our digital transformation. The DFA is a community to see and be seen, to know and be known.”

The Digital Factory Alliance is born under the umbrella of groundbreaking European Commission projects aiming at modernizing and digitalizing the assets of the factories of the future, with the strong conviction that these actions will have a critical influence in the way these factories will be operated and managed in the years to come, by promoting the use of Artificial Intelligence Technologies and Data Intelligence to strive for Zero X Manufacturing Environments.

This initiative allows its members to get access to the most updated knowledge, trends and “ready-to-deploy” products in the digital manufacturing field, gaining exposure to a growing Zero X Manufacturing marketplace, with the added brand recognition and access to new business opportunities. The DFA also provides an opportunity to participate in unique business networks that will allow its participants to quickly and effectively respond to crisis scenarios and critical manufacturing demands where supply chains are compromised, gaining resilience and the capacity to keep operating in repurposed manufacturing scenarios.
