Connected assets are becoming a critical foundation for modern industrial operations.

This keynote explores how organizations are leveraging connectivity, real-time data, and digital technologies to enhance visibility across equipment and processes.

The session will highlight how connected asset strategies can improve operational performance, support better decision-making, and enable more scalable, data-driven operations across industrial environments.

Industrial organizations are facing growing pressure to reduce energy consumption, control operating costs, and meet increasingly ambitious sustainability targets.

This solution spotlight will explore how modern asset performance strategies can help organizations optimize energy use, improve equipment efficiency, and support sustainability goals while maintaining operational reliability and productivity.

This dedicated session provides attendees with the opportunity to connect directly with industry peers, speakers, and solution providers through a mix of open networking and pre-arranged one-to-one meetings.

Designed to facilitate meaningful conversations, the session allows participants to exchange insights, explore potential collaborations, and discuss shared challenges around asset performance, operational efficiency, and digital transformation.

Many industrial organizations have launched successful digital and asset performance pilots, yet scaling these initiatives across multiple sites remains a significant challenge.

In this panel discussion, industry leaders will share lessons learned from moving beyond isolated pilots to delivering measurable, enterprise-wide impact—covering governance, standardization, change management, and the operational foundations required to scale successfully.

Introducing emerging approaches currently explored in research, from intelligent digital twins and condition monitoring to future control and optimization methods.

Offering insights into how collaboration between research and industry can accelerate the transfer of these technologies into practice.

 Speakers will be:

Tobias Schrage, Business School - Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt,

Jan Hinrich Krüger, Institute for Factory Automation and Production Systems - Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg,

Enjoy a refreshing break over lunch while connecting with fellow attendees, speakers, and industry leaders. This is the perfect opportunity to exchange ideas, share insights, and build new partnerships in a relaxed and engaging atmosphere.

Many organizations have invested in monitoring technologies, yet translating data into measurable operational improvements remains a challenge.

This session will explore how companies can move beyond visibility to drive real business impact—leveraging analytics, workflows, and cross-functional collaboration to scale asset performance initiatives and deliver tangible gains in reliability, efficiency, and cost performance.

Industrial organizations are generating more asset data than ever before, yet turning that data into practical insights for frontline teams remains a key challenge.

This session will explore how companies can transform raw asset data into actionable intelligence—empowering operators, engineers, and maintenance teams with the right information, at the right time, to improve reliability, optimize performance, and support faster decision-making.
