Nothing is as constant as change - Heraclitus of Ephesus, 535-475 BC.

Companies have never been under as much pressure to change as they are today: globalization and digitalization are driving new challenges with great dynamism. Supply chains in particular are under ever-increasing pressure.

The solution is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but consists of a large number of components.
A central component is networked data rooms, which enable data from production and the supply chain, distributed across systems, locations and partners, to be securely merged and made usable.

Together, we want to shed light on the role that data plays for resilience in the supply chain and how it can be harnessed, for example through digital twins.

At theSCALE-MX Best Practice Event, you will find out howManufacturing-Xis developing practical solutions for precisely this.

Using specific use cases from production management, supply chain control and digital twins, we will show how data can be used to create operational transparency, better decisions and sustainable success.

The interactive part of the event offers space for a joint exchange and discussion of the approaches presented with regard to the different corporate contexts of our participants.

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 - and why it's worth it:

Keynotes from SIEMENS and others on visions and current challenges
→ Relevant technology trends & exciting insights

Practical examples of data use in production management
→ Concrete insights & best practices from GMN and others.

Interactive sessions & networking
→ Direct exchange with users, providers & SCALE-MX partners

Participation is free of charge!

Would you like to find out more about Manufacturing-X in advance? Hereyou can download our information brochure "The Manufacturing-X data ecosystem" 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.
