Effective strategies and efficient concepts for surface technology

Ultra-efficiency ties "the right thing to the right person". It requires a turnaround of all production factors is a chance for Germany as industrial location. The paradigm change of production factors covers all markets and sectors. Previous approaches don't cover the decoupling of growth from resource consumption. Efficiency technologies must finance effectiveness technology and ICT acts as an enabler. The concept of the ultra efficiency factory can serve as regulation framework for the implementation. Mechanical engineers must reevaluate current technologies and introduce technology leaps in due time. Newly developed systems can only be developed interdisciplinary and lead to new market and competition situations.
