EVENT PREVIEW
We will strongly highlight the themes of artificial intelligence , robotisation and digital transformation
Haiduk , President of the Polish Automation and Robotics Forum . “ It ’ s time to make up for lost time and start catching up with Europe with the help of local companies with global experience that know how to transform manufacturing companies towards Industry 4.0 .
“ This is of particular importance in the current highly uncertain times , where broken international cooperative relations are one of the greatest obstacles to the implementation of investments . Hence , more and more often investors choose partners from the nearest area , so-called nearshoring . This allows for partial independence from the unpredictability of the global supply chain and ensures the company ’ s operation based on local resources ,” he added .
Digital transformation
“ Is it a crisis yet ? What ’ s next ? Saving or investing ? Training or firing ?” These questions will be answered by invited experts during the conference organised by the DBR77 company at the fair .
“ For a long time , dark clouds have been hanging over the global economy in the form of high food and energy prices , interest rate increases , the war in Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic . Although the Polish economy does not feel it so strongly yet , there are signs of a crisis spreading in ever-widening circles e . g . in industry . We will be circling this topic on the first day of the conference during the ITM INDUSTRY EUROPE fair in Poznań ,” explained Dr . Piotr Wiśniewski , CEO of the DBR77 Platform .
On the second day of the seminar , the leading issue will be digital transformation .
“ Digital transformation seems to be the best and only solution where Polish manufacturing companies can gain a competitive advantage in the market and acquire new orders . There are new opportunities for companies that should
be used ,” argued Dr . Wiśniewski .
During the event , there will also be practical workshops on the topics discussed during the conference . The organisers plan to take a closer look at EU projects , calculating CO₂ emissions , analysing the profitability of investments in robotisation and building a digital development road ( enterprise e-strategy ). n
