Transformation in turbulent times.

What the “Factory of the Future” looks like, the challenges of sustainability and the role of digitalisation were explored in talks during Drees & Sommer’s thematic programme at Motorworld Metzingen.

Around 150 guests and numerous experts took part in keynotes, panel discussions and focused sessions. It was the programme’s best-attended event to date, underlining the importance of the Factory of the Future theme. Prof. Dr. Dudenhöffer opened the dialogue by emphasising the need for rapid change to maintain the competitiveness of the German automotive industry. Rene Wolf from Ford Europe discussed the role of digital data in industry. Panels explored reshoring, digitalisation in production and successful transformation, before the event ended with sessions on individual topics. The central message was that a data-driven digital factory can increase efficiency and support sustainable production.

As host, ICT AG managed all AV and event technology, production control and show management. In his opening “Bits and Bytes” talk, Erik Wolff explained the role of innovative AV technology and where advanced methods, such as real-time vehicle, building and city simulations, are already being used.

We thank our partner Drees & Sommer and all speakers and participants for a successful event.
