Experience at the SCALE-MX event how companies use data to ensure quality & sustainability and make processes more efficient. Note: Registration is also possible on site on the day of the event!

How can increasing quality requirements, e.g. in terms of traceability, regulatory pressure in the area of sustainability and high effort and costs due to inefficient processes be successfully managed? A key solution lies in the intelligent use of data.

At the SCALE-MX Best Practice Event in Stuttgart , you will find out how Manufacturing-X is developing practical solutions for precisely this.

The focus will be on use cases that demonstrate how companies can use data room technologies to securely exchange information, optimize processes and thus solve specific challenges in terms of quality and sustainability.

The interactive part of the event is about transferring the approaches presented to your own company and developing initial ideas for implementation with our support.

Take the opportunity to get to know the use cases at first hand, identify potential for your own company and make direct contact with relevant X projects.

What you can expect:

  • Keynotes on current challenges and visions in quality & sustainability
  • Presentation of concrete use cases on data utilization for quality & sustainability by industrial companies such as Schaeffler
  • Interactive sessions for reflection and transfer of the presented approaches to your company
  • Networking with users, providers & SCALE-MX partners

Your added value:

  • Practical insights into concrete solutions for current challenges in the context of quality & sustainability
  • Direct exchange with experts from the industry and project managers
  • Develop initial implementation ideas for your company

Participation is free of charge!

Theevent is part of the SCALE-MX project.

SCALE-MX is the transfer initiative of Manufacturing-X, in which X projects develop data spaces for different industries. SCALE-MX aims to demonstrate the benefits of industrial data rooms to users, suppliers and multipliers and to motivate them to participate. The team is working on making the concept of data rooms understandable, connecting companies and scaling data rooms. SCALE-MX is funded by the BMWE and is an association of VDMA, ZVEI, Niedersachsen Next, Bayern Innovativ, DIHK Service GmbH and WIK under the leadership of VDMA and ZVEI.
