By streamlining your logistics and reducing unnecessary transportation, you can significantly reduce your CO2 emissions.

In another session, learn about the power of industrial data in a session that explores how data-driven insights can empower you to make sustainable choices throughout your production process. By harnessing the power of industrial data, you can optimize energy consumption, identify opportunities for waste reduction, and implement preventative maintenance strategies to extend the life of your equipment.

Digitalization: The engine of manufacturing transformation

Driven by advancements in data analytics, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT), digitalization transforms every aspect of production, from design and engineering to shop floor operations and supply chain management.

Manufacturers who embrace digitalization are unlocking significant benefits, including increased efficiency, improved quality, and reduced costs.

Realize LIVE 2024 puts digitalization at the forefront of its agenda, offering attendees a wealth of insights and practical strategies for navigating this transformative trend.

Siemens Healthineers will share their journey towards establishing a comprehensive digital twin of their product, production, and performance. This session offers a real-world example of how digital twins can be leveraged to optimize product development, enhance collaboration, and drive continuous improvement.

Looking beyond the immediate benefits of digitalization, Realize LIVE also explores the long-term implications of this trend. The session “Ripple effects of the digital twin” delves into the uncharted territory of the “second-and third-order effects” of digital twins. This session explores how the evolution of digital twins and their integration with AI will disrupt traditional manufacturing practices, offering attendees a glimpse into the industry’s future.

Manufacturers can position themselves to thrive in the digital age by gaining insights into these emerging trends.

Realize LIVE 2024 recognizes that digitalization is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. The event offers a variety of sessions catering to different industry segments and levels of digital maturity. Whether you’re just starting your digitalization journey or looking to take your existing efforts to the next level, Realize LIVE has something to offer you.

Supply chain reimagined: Building resilience and efficiency

The modern supply chain is a complex ecosystem facing constant disruption. From fluctuating customer demands to global uncertainties, manufacturers need agile and efficient supply chains to remain competitive.

Realize LIVE 2024 recognizes this critical challenge and offers a variety of sessions focused on helping you build a future-proof supply chain.

Optimizing your supply chain for sustainability and efficiency go hand in hand.
