The Missing Link - how asset analytics helps manufacturers generate head-turning
results from existing assets
Ryan HaleCEO
Chartwell Digital
Despite decades of specialized knowledge and terabytes of process data, why do
so many manufacturers struggle to generate significant financial gains within
“Industry 4.0”? During this session, you’ll learn how leading manufacturers can
capture upside opportunities in existing assets with data analytics, instead of
relying on capital projects. These techniques help to maximize your output,
quality, yield, and profitability of asset operations as well as quality in
batch, continuous and discrete manufacturing processes. We’ll explore how these
new offerings complement existing solutions like digital twins and asset
performance management tools to form a complete technology portfolio for modern
manufacturers, and, most importantly, get results.
This session covers:
* Why context and capability are required to turn data into results
* How a new approach to asset analytics reveals unique insights that quantify
the full potential of existing assets
* Examples of recent results from batch and continuous processes

Strengthening Digital Data Chains through collaboration and novel technologies
across the whole process industries
Christoph Attila KunManager Digital Data Chain Consortium | Head of Maintenance
& Inspection, Service
BASF SE
Strengthening Digital Data Chains works best with a collaborative effort from
which all companies and the whole industry can benefit. The exchange of e.g.,
data and technical information is a plus for manufacturers of machines and
products, service providers, plants managers and employees. Processes and
operations can be made more efficient by automation and to a higher degree: the
most important step to the Factory of the Future! To ensure that everything
works smoothly, standards and platforms for the exchange of information between
all partners are required. It is precisely these standards and technologies that
companies and technology suppliers in the process industry have developed
together.
This presentation covers:
* Which technologies get used in the Digital Data Chain? How do we implement
efficiently, safely, and quickly?
* Which standards must be met? How can we exchange data? How can physical
objects be identified? What are we doing with digital manufacturing data?
* Obsolescence Management: Which technologies are we using in our plants, e.g.,
digital twins? How are we documenting, and which ID´s are we using? How do we
manage e.g., successor models?
* Which solutions does the Digital Data Chain Consortium offer regard Lifecycle
Management, Digital Data, Track & Trace and Digital Twins?

Can digital twins solve the workforce challenges of the process industry?
Dr. Susanna VogesDirector of Operations
Voovio
Digital twins have been successfully adopted by the process industry for
managing and maintaining assets as well as optimizing process parameters, yet
most chemical and refining companies are failing to utilize digital twins for
building workforce competency more efficiently and effectively. Digital Twins of
the Person (DToP) offer the ability to have a more inclusive solution, which
allows you to build and measure workforce competency in standard operating
procedures. We will look at the concept of Digital Twin of the Person based on
Enhanced Reality technology, which has helped some of the biggest chemical and
refining companies in the world overcome the knowledge gap related to the great
crew change and high turnover in general.

How to achieve operational excellence for batch processes
Christiaan MoonsPlant Operations Excellence Sales Director & Co-Founder
IPCOS
Batch processes are notoriously difficult to optimize. They are highly nonlinear
dynamic processes where key variables, such as conversion rates, are not always
available in real time. Besides that, quality can only be determined at the end
of the batch.
These specific process characteristics lead to very different optimization
approaches compared to continuous processes. In this presentation, IPCOS will
provide a broad overview of different methodologies, expected outcomes and
actual examples of how digital solutions can improve operational excellence,
specifically for batch operations:
* PID Tuning
* OEE
* Golden Batch
* RTO
* APC

How can we become more energy efficient and reduce greenhouse emissions in
chemical plants and over our value chains?
Urs ZimmerliSite Manager
CABB Chemicals AG
Dr. Thomas SchambergVice President Supply Chain Excellence
Evonik Industries AG
Philipp KohnVP Global Operations
Huber Engineered Materials
Alexander PlumHead of Energy Excellence
Covestro Deutschland AG
While the world population is growing, the availability of natural resources and
raw materials such as oil, natural gas, mineral ores, and water is decreasing.
It is also of importance to significantly reduce CO2 emissions to counteract
further climate change. Energy efficiency is a key resource for economic and
social development, bringing significant benefits to various stakeholders, from
companies developing energy-efficient measures to all members of society. In
addition to cost savings, numerous benefits can be achieved by supporting better
alignment between energy issues and strategic business professionals: e.g.,
improved competitiveness, profitability, quality, etc. Energy efficiency can
therefore be a strategic advantage. However, most companies, especially small
and medium enterprises, face many problems and in some cases rejection when
trying to effectively implement energy efficiency measures.
Considering the energy crisis and global warming, it has become imperative for
industries to focus on higher energy efficiency. It is well known that energy
consumption in the chemical industry is one of the highest of all industrial
sectors. Energy efficiency is a top priority in the chemical industry, and many
companies are turning to novel technology to help them achieve this goal. It can
help chemical companies reduce energy consumption by optimizing their processes
and improving their production methods.
Energy consumption and the energy-efficient production of goods in a supply
chain have so far played only a very minor role. Important tasks in this area
are the creation and verification of energy supply chain models and the analysis
of their effects on production networks. At the same time, supply chain
management and logistics or intralogistics must move closer together and include
aspects of supply processes. Although the optimal structuring of information and
material flows within a production network is central to supply chain
management, integrated supply concepts for media, energy and other means of
production do not exist. The biggest barriers are access to capital and lack of
awareness (especially of lifecycle cost impacts). Looking at the supply chain is
one of the most important ways to overcome these barriers and improve energy
efficiency.
* How can energy consumption in supply chain management contribute to more
energy efficient processes?
* How can we achieve “maximum profit from a minimum of resources” instead of
“maximum profit from a minimum of capital”?
* Have you implemented or planned technological innovations and long-term
investments that will lead to increased resource/energy efficiency?
* Do you have plans for a systemic assessment of resource efficiency, e.g., for
optimizing production processes? Or are you already structuring your
manufacturing processes by optimizing maintenance and servicing cycles?
* How do you deal with energy consumption and energy-efficient closed-loop
production? How does the integration of resources in process chains and
systems work?
* Energy Efficiency Regulations and Directive in EU & Germany: support or
inhibition of energy efficiency in supply chains and chemical production?

Climate neutrality 2035 is on the horizon – but how do we now transform, and
develop a circular economy?
Alexander PlumHead of Energy Excellence
Covestro Deutschland AG
The chemical industry is at a pathway. Geopolitical and economic challenges lie
ahead and rising energy prices and shortages looming. A global CO2 reduction
strategy can go different directions, but always starts in own productions.
Circularity over the value and supply, instead of linear routes, is the driver
of climate neutrality and implicates a highly transformative effort. Since
Covestro is working with an energy management system for 15+ years, the
integration of the Covestro climate neutrality target (2020 to 2030: -60% Scope
1 & 2 GHG emissions and climate neutrality by 2035) in the energy management
system is one major topic after it has been announced in 2022. Heat transition,
access to renewable energy supply and transformation of our production sites to
climate neutrality are in focus of Covestro’s transformation efforts. Alignment
with the strategic climate neutrality target requires programmatic initiatives
as well as the adaptation of integrated management processes to transform around
50 production sites worldwide into climate-neutral operations.
This presentation covers:
* Operationalization of Climate Neutrality Strategy: How does it work? What are
major experiences? How do I manage my resources?
* Process component: Innovative process technologies with the potential of
saving CO2
* Framework conditions: Carbon reduction strategy and climate neutral growth –
energy must be affordable, and it must be possible to transform the business
at the same time
* Regulatory Guardrails: Purchase of renewable energies, ecological obligations
from state aids in EU, and the effects on the economic competitive edge
* Scope 3 reduction, alternative feedstocks & digitalization: do you rely on a
successful data management? Where is the data coming from? How about the
competition with open data?

Company transformation – Corporate Culture transformation as key success factors
for shaping a new future
Marco SchlimpertVice President Performance, Improvement & Technology
Lenzing Group
We still experience results of our well intended work nobody wants: the
ecological divide, the social divide and the spiritual divide. Those divides
heavily influence our day-to-day working environment. As a result, we still see
the great resignation of co-workers ongoing – up to 60% of our associates intend
to leave the company within the next 12 months. How can we co-create an emerging
future and transform our businesses to create resonance, to achieve
sustainability and a high performance culture? The presentation focuses on the
key success factors for a sustainable transformation and provides a deep dive
into tools to shaping a corporate culture as pre-requisite for any successful
transformation.
This presentation covers:
* Influence of corporate culture on a successful transformation and which
interventions can be successfully set
* Create the “compound effect” to successfully co-create and implement the
business strategy
* Which methods are particularly suitable to promote people and performance in
the company
* How to intrinsically motivate people to embrace purpose and transformation
instead of traditionally managing change

Industry 5.0 - How the Shop Floor Workforce drives Digitalization at Grace
Veit HoraCOO
eschbach GmbH
Klaus WeckheuerSenior Site Director
Grace Europe Holding GmbH
Marius LawallEngineer Manufacturing Leadership
Grace Europe Holding GmbH
A people-centered approach for digital transformation – Digitalization
initiatives have revolutionized the way chemical companies increase the
collaboration between people and systems. Whereas we have been focused on
getting process-relevant data and an overview of all plant states, it takes
people to align the information with strategic priorities. With the right
knowledge, creativity and the ability to respond to unexpected events, people
build the greatest asset of chemical manufacturing plants. Grace recognized the
importance of their shop floor workforce and manages interactive plant
operations with future-proof human-to-human and human-to-machine communication.
In doing so, Grace unlocks the full potential of a people-centered approach for
digital transformation and brings workers and managers into the age of Industry
5.0.
This presentation covers:
* How digitalization initiatives have proven to drive plant performance
* Why a people-focused approach is key for successful manufacturing
* How chemical companies facing new challenges can achieve resilience

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are already advanced technologies.
For heavy industries, companies can bring value through reduced maintenance cost
and reduced risk through deployment of prediction that can see into the future
by using historical evidence to predict issues well before damage occurs. This
technology positively impacting operations, maintenance and reliability. But how
do companies actually implement this and how do they prove value beyond from
predictive capabilities in lock step with excellence in maintenance, condition
monitoring and defect elimination. Most importantly, how does this scale across
a site, region and globally.
This presentation covers:
* Recognizing challenges
* How do heavy industries prove value in addressing challenges
* Value workshopping

How can we push the digital maturity level and novel manufacturing technologies
such as Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning in chemical manufacturing?
Oleg PajalicPrincipal Scientist | Vice President Process Innovation
Perstorp Group
* Implementation of a digital twin will require expertise beyond that of the
process modeling : specialists in on-line analytics and sensor technology,
ICT, programming, optimization, statistics and artificial intelligence need
to work together with the industrial production experts (including modelers
but, operators, management, supply chain that will potentially use the IoT
apps). Adding on the employees will increase fixed costs – How will Chemical
Industry solve (or mitigate) that negative equation?
* Do we need a comprehensive method describing how to perform reliable
technoeconomic analysis of the profitability of the digital mature plants and
digital twin technology?
* Digital Twins: The Next Phase of the AI Revolution? Can we create future
digital twins without AI? Augmented reality and Digital twins – Is that the
way to proceed?
* Computer models based on digital twins could be very complex and demanding.
Who will develop that technology?
* Big data management and Big data analytics – is the future for the Chemical
Industry to rely on IoT service providers like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, GE,
Siemens and so on? (that would be paradigm shift- almost everything else is
in-house assets). Is it a new business model necessary to implement?
* Again.. If we can push digital maturity in the chemical industry; why don´t
we?

The 7 actions leadership do at P&G to accelerate their operational excellence
journey & results
Marc WinkelmanGlobal Director IWS Manufacturing Excellence
The Procter & Gamble Company
P&G is widely regarded for its operational excellence capability. That
capability has helped the company to transform the employee engagement and
digitalization. Result are year-on-year program of cost saving, inventory
reduction, service improvement, productivity gains, and employee satisfaction.
In this presentation, you will learn about some critical leadership actions
needed to accelerate and maintain the capabilities to achieve this level of
performance.
This presentation covers:
* Research shows that some 70% of (digital) transformations fail as the
organizational- and people foundations are not ready to accept/implement the
(digital) transformation. However, most transformation projects at P&G do
succeed, which rases just 1 question: ‘What does P&G do differently?’
* With IWS, Procter & Gamble/’s OPEX program, P&G builds leadership- and
operator capability to drive continuous loss elimination, capability
building, and engagement, all factors that are fundamental to transform an
organization.
* The presentation shows a practical framework what leaders are expected to do
to build the needed capability.
* The last practical action is how to decide for digital systems and become a
smart factory.

Internal development, partnering with suppliers or buying commercial
applications – how to source AI solutions?
Yves-Gorat StommelDeputy Head of Function Evonik Digital
Evonik Industries AG
In the last couple of years, many larger companies have built internal Data
Science know how, with a significant fraction of this capability being deployed
towards internally developing AI solutions. However, building, maintaining, and
operationalizing an expanding portfolio of AI solutions across the enterprise
quickly becomes a significant, if not overwhelming effort. In order to prepare
for a future in which AI solutions are paramount, early and transparent
decision-making on how to source AI solutions becomes more important. Evonik has
developed a process that allows well-informed decision-making on how to source
AI solutions, taking into account criteria around internal and external
resources and know how, application maturity, IP, value, cost, and others.
This session covers:
* What some of the main differences are between AI applications and classic
software that directly impact the “make or buy” decision
* Why now is the time to implement a process on “make or buy” for AI
applications
* What evaluation criteria can be used for decision-making regarding “make or
buy” for AI applications
* What competencies are needed to manage a balanced AI application portfolio in
the medium term

Supply chain transformation on its way to digitalization
Dr. Thomas SchambergSVP Supply Chain Excellence
Evonik Industries AG
The chemical supply chain has been without notable significance for several
years, if compared to other industries. The chemical industry overall focused on
the manufacturing and production supply chain part. Therefor many foundations
and basics are missing, giving digitalizing of supply chain or Industry 4.0 in
specialty chemicals a huge challenge. What do you need to start first and how to
prioritize a transformation, that also needs to address strong cultural change
in the way of working?
This presentation covers:
* Comprehensive supply chain transformation
* How to deal with the remaining lack of visibility and understanding of the
chemical supply chain in the industry overall
* Why fancy digital apps alone don´t help with your supply chain transformation
(AI in forecasting is great, but you need a forecast first)
* Why you really have to take your people with you on that path and
propositions how to do it

How to tackle current challenges in the chemical value chain and become more
resilient
Jens ImbeckHead of Supply Chain Management, Director
Biesterfeld Group
Chemical Supply Chains are not living up to modern customer expectations, which
are on an all-time high, a circumstance that even got pushed further by the
pandemic and post-COVID crisis, the war in Europe, and rising prices for energy
and raw materials. The SCM seems uncoordinated, the complexity in data is
rising, and risk assessments are getting more and more difficult. Next to
re-organizing the communication between all parties, the chemical industry needs
to tackle those challenges and become more resilient towards exogenous shocks.
This presentation covers:
* How to take on new talents on board and enlarge your workforce
* How to plan and forecast more efficient and a flexible price strategy
* Building new partnerships
* Investments in innovations and technologies – and reliability

How clean is your Supply and Value chain? The rising relevance of 3rd party
customer and vendor compliance screenings in the global chemical Value Chain
Guy ThompsonHead of Global Credit Risk
Sun Chemical
Why are 3rd party screening becoming more relevant and more people are aware of
them? Whereas in previous years companies just were in the position to say that
they went into a collaboration with e.g., a bad supplier (drug trafficking,
false labor,…), this is not as easy nowadays. A supply or value chain, in
particular the chemical supply chain, doesn´t need to be 100% clean, but it must
be visible for all outsiders, that the company is taking satisfactory steps to
achieve it. This, and the damage caused on the supply chain due to exogenous
shocks, e.g., the war in Ukraine, post-COVID, and financial crisis led to more
and more important screening of customers and vendors that a company would like
to work with.
This presentation covers:
* 3rd Party customer and vendor compliance screening process – from screening
to legal decision-making
* How to check whether business partners and customers are a proper fit for
your value chain
* Collaboration with purchasing, supply chain, and legal departments
* How to broaden capabilities on European directives and corporate
responsibilities

How can we become more energy efficient and reduce greenhouse emissions in
chemical plants and over our value chains?
Philipp KohnVP Global Operations
Huber Engineered Materials | Martinswerk GmbH
Dr. Thomas SchambergSVP Supply Chain Excellence
Evonik Industries AG
Urs ZimmerliSite Manager
CABB Chemicals AG
Alexander PlumHead of Energy Excellence
Covestro AG
While the world population is growing, the availability of natural resources and
raw materials such as oil, natural gas, mineral ores, and water is decreasing.
It is also of importance to significantly reduce CO2 emissions to counteract
further climate change. Energy efficiency is a key resource for economic and
social development, bringing significant benefits to various stakeholders, from
companies developing energy-efficient measures to all members of society. In
addition to cost savings, numerous benefits can be achieved by supporting better
alignment between energy issues and strategic business professionals: e.g.,
improved competitiveness, profitability, quality, etc. Energy efficiency can
therefore be a strategic advantage. However, most companies, especially small
and medium enterprises, face many problems and in some cases rejection when
trying to effectively implement energy efficiency measures.
Considering the energy crisis and global warming, it has become imperative for
industries to focus on higher energy efficiency. It is well known that energy
consumption in the chemical industry is one of the highest of all industrial
sectors. Energy efficiency is a top priority in the chemical industry, and many
companies are turning to novel technology to help them achieve this goal. It can
help chemical companies reduce energy consumption by optimizing their processes
and improving their production methods.
Energy consumption and the energy-efficient production of goods in a supply
chain have so far played only a very minor role. Important tasks in this area
are the creation and verification of energy supply chain models and the analysis
of their effects on production networks. At the same time, supply chain
management and logistics or intralogistics must move closer together and include
aspects of supply processes. Although the optimal structuring of information and
material flows within a production network is central to supply chain
management, integrated supply concepts for media, energy and other means of
production do not exist. The biggest barriers are access to capital and lack of
awareness (especially of lifecycle cost impacts). Looking at the supply chain is
one of the most important ways to overcome these barriers and improve energy
efficiency.
* How can energy consumption in supply chain management contribute to more
energy efficient processes?
* How can we achieve “maximum profit from a minimum of resources” instead of
“maximum profit from a minimum of capital”?
* Have you implemented or planned technological innovations and long-term
investments that will lead to increased resource/energy efficiency?
* Do you have plans for a systemic assessment of resource efficiency, e.g., for
optimizing production processes? Or are you already structuring your
manufacturing processes by optimizing maintenance and servicing cycles?
* How do you deal with energy consumption and energy-efficient closed-loop
production? How does the integration of resources in process chains and
systems work?
* Energy Efficiency Regulations and Directive in EU & Germany: support or
inhibition of energy efficiency in supply chains and chemical production?

Climate neutrality 2035 is on the horizon – but how do we now transform, and
develop a circular economy?
Alexander PlumHead of Energy Excellence
Covestro AG
The chemical industry is at a pathway. Geopolitical and economic challenges lie
ahead and rising energy prices and shortages looming. A global CO2 reduction
strategy can go different directions, but always starts in own productions.
Circularity over the value and supply, instead of linear routes, is the driver
of climate neutrality and implicates a highly transformative effort. Since
Covestro is working with an energy management system for 15+ years, the
integration of the Covestro climate neutrality target (2020 to 2030: -60% Scope
1 & 2 GHG emissions and climate neutrality by 2035) in the energy management
system is one major topic after it has been announced in 2022. Heat transition,
access to renewable energy supply and transformation of our production sites to
climate neutrality are in focus of Covestro’s transformation efforts. Alignment
with the strategic climate neutrality target requires programmatic initiatives
as well as the adaptation of integrated management processes to transform around
50 production sites worldwide into climate-neutral operations.
This presentation covers:
* Operationalization of Climate Neutrality Strategy: How does it work? What are
major experiences? How do I manage my resources?
* Process component: Innovative process technologies with the potential of
saving CO2
* Framework conditions: Carbon reduction strategy and climate neutral growth –
energy must be affordable, and it must be possible to transform the business
at the same time
* Regulatory Guardrails: Purchase of renewable energies, ecological obligations
from state aids in EU, and the effects on the economic competitive edge
* Scope 3 reduction, alternative feedstocks & digitalization: do you rely on a
successful data management? Where is the data coming from? How about the
competition with open data?

Strengthening Digital Data Chains through collaboration and novel technologies
across the whole process industries
Christoph Attila KunManager Digital Data Chain Consortium | Head of Maintenance
& Inspection, Service
BASF SE
Strengthening Digital Data Chains works best with a collaborative effort from
which all companies and the whole industry can benefit. The exchange of e.g.,
data and technical information is a plus for manufacturers of machines and
products, service providers, plants managers and employees. Processes and
operations can be made more efficient by automation and to a higher degree: the
most important step to the Factory of the Future! To ensure that everything
works smoothly, standards and platforms for the exchange of information between
all partners are required. It is precisely these standards and technologies that
companies and technology suppliers in the process industry have developed
together.
This presentation covers:
* Which technologies get used in the Digital Data Chain? How do we implement
efficiently, safely, and quickly?
* Which standards must be met? How can we exchange data? How can physical
objects be identified? What are we doing with digital manufacturing data?
* Obsolescence Management: Which technologies are we using in our plants, e.g.,
digital twins? How are we documenting, and which ID´s are we using? How do we
manage e.g., successor models?
* Which solutions does the Digital Data Chain Consortium offer regard Lifecycle
Management, Digital Data, Track & Trace and Digital Twins?

Connecting the Evolution on the Shopfloor with the Evolution of the People
Pasquale Di SarnoPlant Director
Barilla Group
Digitalization is revolutionizing production in many ways by enabling new
possibilities and shaking existing processes in their core.
Hand in hand with the evolution of processes on the shopfloor goes the emergence
of new ways of working. While digitalization makes many processes for workers
safer and easier, it also requires new skills from the people on the shopfloor.
Pasquale Di Sarno, Plant Director at the Barilla Group, shows in his
presentation how the company is tackling the digitalization of their
manufacturing processes while not loosing sight of the most important factor in
manufacturing – the people.

AI - from a feasibility study to a sustainable solution in production
Petra HildebrandtManager Test Systems Technology & Platforms
Sennheiser electronic GmbH & Co KG
In recent months, Sennheiser has focused on optimizing its existing AI models
and services. The monitoring of the AI models has been significantly expanded
and a good method has been found to detect whether an AI model is still
performing correctly or whether it needs to be retrained. The re-training is
partly automated, the triggering is still manual. The training will be further
automated, as this is the only way to create a sustainable solution. The
presentation will deal with how a sustainable solution for manufacturing was
developed from a feasibility study and what is important in the process.

The need for manufacturing companies to transform and digitalize production
processes has been growing since years and is also reaching smaller enterprises.
Before realizing any digitalization, projects decision makers are facing a
plethora of different necessary decisions and questions. What is the right
solution for their specific business’s needs? How can they secure the expertise
and support in the realization of their project? Which solution truly delivers
value to their enterprise? Lukas Budde is giving in his presentation insights
into the platform they have developed to guide and find for every enterprise the
right use case and technological solution to draw expertise for their own
projects. Including more than 800 case studies from a variety of sources, the
data base offers for every new project the right use case and therefore business
insights for their planning of the respective project.

Requirement for modern corporate governance in securing the future viability
Harald KirschHead of Automation and Industrial IT
ALD Vacuum Technologies GmbH
With regard to their future viability, companies should aim to use innovative
technologies holistically, for example, to ensure the principles of sustainable
production or circular economy. In view of profound technical, economic and
social changes, the manufacturing industry must question the organizational
structure, project characteristics as well as its current portfolio of products,
services and adapt its business models. To do this, it should continue and
accelerate the transformation process that may already have begun. Topics are
the expansion of the technological basis, the expansion of competence and
awareness in dealing with sustainable or circular business. It is therefore no
longer a question of if – it is more a question of how- by identifying the right
approach, taking into account the maturity of my organizational structures.
In the age of advancing digitization and hyper-automation, many transformation
projects still suffer from the fact that, as an example, the physical
integration of production modules takes place much faster than the “logical”
automation technology adaptation or complete integration into continuously
networked, sometimes spatially distributed constructs of production capacities
and the associated planning and control systems. Efforts in which the production
resources work autonomously, knowledge-based, “intelligently” and can control or
configure themselves situationally and exchange information with each other are
made more difficult.
In the planned World Café we want to discuss lessons learned in the circle of
involved and curious discussion partners and provide food for thought in the
safer handling of the matter.
* How to identify the maturity of the socio-technological environment?
* How to manage the risk of implementing future oriented organization /
technological fundament
* What are the requirement for modern corporate governance
* Which strategy is the right one: Following an incremental approach or rather
a radical one?
* Speed and structure. What is the level of maturity?
* Which stumbling blocks have you already encountered?

The European Manufacturing System – What benefits can a European System offer?
Klaus BeetzCEO
EIT Manufacturing
Klaus is postulating the “European Manufacturing System” as a strategic
objective for the European manufacturing industry, with universal implications.
This vision will overcome traditional barriers through an ecosystem approach. It
features dual transition with sustainability as a decisive factor, while
integrating emerging enablers and deep-tech technologies. But more important,
people, the most valuable assets of the European industry leveraging a
human-centered approach.
* What are the major developments in regard to sustainability and smarter
manufacturing processes?
* How to integrate the latest trends in manufacturing technologies,
manufacturing methodologies, manufacturing value systems into a holistic
approach?

Building new networks for data exchange - New ecosystems and value chains in the
automotive industry and manufacturing sectors
Johannes DiemerR&D Coordinator
ARENA2036
The current transformation of the manufacturing and automotive industries is
additionally massively influenced by geopolitical disputes, pandemics and
climate change. Material flows must therefore be traceable throughout the entire
value chain. This is a challenge that no company can solve on its own today. To
do so, it is necessary to enable the digital flow of information across entire
supply chains. But many suppliers in the manufacturing and automotive industries
are extremely uncertain about the added value of sharing their data. This is
where open data ecosystems come in. A trusted architecture for these ecosystems
is provided by Gaia-X, the project that introduced the idea of data sovereignty,
security and interoperability for decentralized systems. The presentation will
explain the concept of the architecture and the ecosystems of Catena-X the
network for date exchange.

From the Smart Factory Pilot to the Global Rollout - How can economic potential
be leveraged in practice?
Walter HuberDirektor PMT ME/Production
Webasto
Smart factory pilots are often implemented in companies. But how does a global
rollout succeed? How can employees be qualified worldwide? Economic potential
can only be leveraged if these questions are answered positively. A methodical
approach has been developed over the last few years, starting with pilot
projects and ending with a learning architecture. The practical experiences will
be presented in the lecture.
* Providing the necessary new skills for a successful group-wide roll-out
* Development of a global qualification program for newcomers and employees
* Increase in economic potential through a successful global roll-out
