Thanks to the help of our friends from the Technical University of Košice in Slovakia, we had the opportunity to get to know US Steel Košice. We learned how Industry 4.0 approach is used in the entire steel production process, from raw materials, through hot rolling to galvanized steel sheets.

We would like to thank the management of the enterprise for making the trip possible. In a special way, we would like to thank our guide, Mr František Gregor, who explained the intricacies of production processes to us. He is also the author of the photos.

Together with our partners from Technical University in Kosice (Slovakia) and Thomas Bata University in Zlin (Czechia), we start the international project Improving quality management teaching in the era of Industry 4.0. 

The project provides for scientific research, study visits, seminars, and courses for academic teachers, doctoral students and students. The project will take 18 months to complete. More info is available on the project website.
