Impuls I
Employee recruitment/skills shortage/attractive employer/employee retention
Companies are exposed to constantly increasing pressure to change and have to face a variety of challenges. Management alone is no longer up to the task. Activation of the workforce is required and not only helps to establish suitable change management and promote a high level of innovation. It also contributes to the sustainability of the company.

Strategy Department, Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Ruhr-OWL / Fraunhofer IML
13.30 – 14.00 a.m.
Impuls II
Resilient supply chains
Sharply rising energy prices, increasing trade sanctions, lockdowns in the supply chain: companies often react very frantically to the challenges for their supply chains associated with these disruptions. With systematic risk management, companies can recognise and evaluate their supply chain risks and initiate countermeasures at an early stage.

& Strategy, Fraunhofer IML
Keynote speeches - Process automation
14.00 – 14.30 a.m.
From theory to practice: process automation in the digital transformation
In this presentation, we will shed light on the digital twin and how integrated engineering facilitates the transition from process planning to process automation. We will show how digital tools and methods are revolutionising maintenance and enabling the ‘digital worker’ to increase efficiency and productivity in operations. The focus is on practical implementation for the industry based on systems and concepts that are already in use.

Clear the stage for the digital revolution: How IoT is redefining the level measurement of bulk solids
Clear the stage for the digital revolution: How IoT is redefining the level measurement of bulk solids: In a world that is digitalising ever faster, new technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) are opening up completely new possibilities – even for traditional industries.
Level measurement of bulk solids, which once relied on manual methods and rigid processes, is being fundamentally changed by the use of IoT components. Smart sensors and connected systems are enabling companies to automate their processes, reduce costs and increase efficiency.
In this presentation, we want to show you how these technologies work, what specific benefits they offer and how the digital revolution is paving the way for a new era of process optimisation and efficiency. Let’s take a look into the future of level measurement together!
