Industry 4.0, intensified global competition, wars, pandemics – many factors prompt companies to reconsider their supply chain strategies. Companies should adapt to “worst-case scenarios” to enable resilient supply chains – more flexible and decentralized, yet still efficient.

Why is digitization critical for success? Technologies such as AI, IoT, AR, adaptive manufacturing, and blockchain have begun to influence supply chain strategies. The convergence of physical and digital processes through IoT and AI is leading to a transformation of linear supply chains towards digitally supported supply networks – intelligent, scalable, adaptable, and fast. Blockchain can increase trust and transparency in complex and partially automated business relationships. 4.0 manufacturing technologies enable more decentralization and regionalization. Digital twins reflect the physical data and relationships of the supply chains.

Exchange of experiences and inspiration in conversations with colleagues and experts – for many, the most important benefit of a conference. We offer you this option with our Cintona app. Invite participants to a conversation based on interests and competency profiles. Networking is less interesting for you? Attend one of the workshops or round tables that are taking place concurrently.
