Overview

As firms emerge from the chaos created by the pandemic, the focus on the “new” takes center stage. In this new age, there is one certainty: Businesses will continue to face disruption caused by COVID-19 and multiple other challenges, such as geopolitical friction, supply-chain disruption or extreme weather events.

How to manage this complexity? We believe that the best strategies are built on data, in combination with industry experience. At our event, you can find both. The C-suite of Polish manufacturing companies will meet here to exchange their point of view, and hear the latest insights from IDC analysts.

Join us live on September 22 between 9:30am-5:30pm in Łódź!

Intelligent data 11:10 - 12:10 Intelligent data Krzysztof Stankiewicz Principal Global Solution Architect, Equinix Jaroslaw Smulski Senior Program Manager, Systems & Infrastructure Solutions, IDC Poland Intelligent data The critical path to digital manufacturing Today’s manufacturers face many urgent challenges. Businesses must keep up with rising customer expectations, support the transition to smart factories, and capitalize on the ability to collect and use big data. Additionally, they must deal with events that have exposed the fragility of supply chains, such as the global health crisis and extreme weather events. The roundtable will bring together digital leaders from manufacturing in Poland to explore and discuss: The unprecedented challenges facing modern manufacturers and how to accelerate the move to digital manufacturing Building the foundations for supply chain resilience How modernized distributed IT is fundamental to enable resilience Transformation use cases from Coca-Cola and Celsa Group Super Product & Super Production 11:10 - 12:10 Super Product & Super Production- simpler than you think.... Ireneusz Borowski Country Manager Poland, Dassault Systèmes Super Product & Super Production- simpler than you think.... Super Product Creating a "super product" is a multifaceted process - it requires teamwork, collecting and analyzing a large amount of data. Just defining the word "super product" can be a great challenge. Using the latest technology, the process of creating a good solution does not have to be long and complicated at all. With the right approach, you can develop a product that is "super" for both the manufacturer and the consumer. Super Production Is better the enemy of good? This popular saying often applies manufacturing areas.... Production is a multidimensional area, inextricably linked to other departments of the company. The pursuit of "super production" requires a holistic approach, analysis of the entire value chain, interpretation of a large amount of data. Using the latest technologies, the whole process does not have to be long and complicated at all. The right approach allows companies to open up huge new opportunities. Security in production 11:10 - 12:10 Secure and Resilient Industry 4.0 Wiktor Markiewicz Senior Research Analyst, Poland and Baltics, IDC Poland Secure and Resilient Industry 4.0 Securing smart factories is a relatively new priority for many manufacturers. Which is why many manufacturers often struggle with basic cybersecurity requirements. For smart factory projects to be successful, security needs to be treated as one of the top priorities of the digital transformation effort. This roundtable discussion will focus on: the security concepts required for “Smart Factories”, examples of security solutions, security recommendations for the future of manufacturing, building cyber resilience. Sustainability 11:10 - 12:10 Sustainability Michal Swiatek Research Manager, Poland and Baltics Krzysztof Modrzewski National Sales Manager Epson Polska. Sustainability Is it reconcilable to care about sustainability and stability, business efficiency? As a matter of fact, the two challenges have a lot in common - at a basic level they are related to thinking about the welfare (not only financial) of ourselves, but also of our children and grandchildren. The important difference here, however, is perspective: what may bring immediate profit or savings is often not the best choice on a scale of years or decades. Recently, rising energy prices have become an additional piece in this puzzle, even forcing us to make bold decisions. We will discuss these issues - in general terms, but also referring to specific examples - on Thursday. IDC analysts, representatives of the leader in the development of "green" technologies for business - Epson - and their users from various industries will sit at our table. A place for you is also waiting there. You are welcome! Metaverse 11:10 - 12:10 Metaverse Marcin Łunkiewicz Founder & CEO, mimo.ooo Ewa Zborowska Senior Research Manager, IDC Poland Metaverse Analysts predict that more and more people will spend time in the metaverse in the coming years, both privately and professionally. And already, the value of the technologies needed to build the mataverse, from software to cloud platforms to XR/AI hardware, is growing by double digits. Global consulting firms have recognized that in 2022 everyone should build a strategy to enter it. Let's take the first step together and answer the most important questions: what is it, how can it be used, for what, when and for how much?

European Manufacturers' Top 5 Strategic Business Priorities for 2022 and Beyond

Being resilient is key to ensuring innovation and achieving long-term business growth in a future that will continue to be uncertain and volatile. The Russia-Ukraine War first and foremost is a human tragedy but it will also have some severe economic impacts: supply chain disruptions, shortages of raw materials and key components, and rising energy prices.

Why Manufacturers Need 5G for the Next Normal

5G connectivity will play a particularly important role in enabling the next normal in manufacturing, as it has unique capabilities that enable manufacturers to use data — including machine, plant, product, and environment data — more effectively than ever before.
