The topics in detail:

Day 1 - Gamechanger 2021: Top logistics in e-commerce and production

Logistics is on the rise right now: nothing works without e-commerce. Production is running at full speed in many sectors. New distribution centers are springing up like mushrooms, old warehouses are being modernized and production lines expanded. One thing is in short supply everywhere: human labor. And yet the products still have to be manufactured, packaged, shipped and, ideally, dispatched immediately by clicking on the "Order now" button. Retailers and manufacturers need game changers to ensure that this is not just science fiction. At the digital networking days, top experts will talk about what these look like in e-commerce logistics and production logistics.

Day 2 - Solutions for tool and mold making 2021

On the path from design to construction to the finished product, tool, mold and model making play a decisive role in the economic efficiency of the entire production chain. Continuous data flow, additive processes and new machining strategies offer impressive new possibilities. These must be used not only to operate the most efficient mold and tool making, but also to make production economical and competitive. Industry 4.0 is one keyword - but tool and mold making has many more levers to pull.

Day 3 - Between edge and cloud - digital transformation in practice

After more than a year of the coronavirus pandemic, no one is arguing about the need for digitalized production. This makes the question of how all the more important: how can companies make their production facilities fit for the digital requirements of today and the further developments of tomorrow, without disrupting production and at a reasonable cost? Fortunately, there is now extensive experience and tried-and-tested solutions.
