Panel talks – watch high-calibre debates

From intelligent data to integrated operations

This high-level panel brings together senior decision makers from across the industrial ecosystem to explore how data-driven collaboration is making connected industry a reality. Taking an end-to-end-perspective, the discussion spans industrial and infrastructure projects from engineering data at component level through system integration and project execution to plant operation and lifecycle management.

Fireside talk

Rainer Brehm, COO for the automation business and CTO at Siemens, Dr. Masahiko Mori, CEO at DMG Mori Co., Ltd. and Sebastian Seitz, CEO at Eplan talk about current challenges, trends and chances in our industry.

Exceptional experts are rocking the stage

It’s time to rock’n’roll! International Eplan user are presenting their exceptional knowledge and show their special projects as Eplan Certified Engineers. Their focus: all about the clever usage of Eplan software. Get to know the rockstars and pick up exclusive tips and tricks you can use for your work with Eplan.

Future and success in a changing market: Strategies for machine and plant builders

The machine and plant sector is under immense pressure due to rising customisation for process lines, margin challenges for series machines, still skill shortages and the transition of green technologies. We will discuss the field of tension between the highly competitive market for series machines and the more specialised market for process lines. Providing future impulses for decision-makers.

Global academic perspectives on the future of industrial automation

Automation is entering a new phase: AI is moving onto the shopfloor, robots are getting humanoid, and control architectures are becoming software-defined. But how much is real progress - and how much is hype? This panel gives answers from distinguished guests from the world of research. 

Best practices – watch first-hand examples for efficient engineering

KraussMaffei digital transformation

KraussMaffei is unifying its fragmented design ecosystem to eliminate redundant documentation and parallel workflows. The vision centres a Digital Twin powered by a synchronised PLM architecture. Key components include Camons for sales configuration, SAP and ERP, and Windchill for lifecycle management, integrating Eplan and CREO for engineering.

Lighthouse journey at Eaton: How digital engineering enabled end-to-end excellence

This keynote explores how an Eaton plant has grown in a World of Economic Forum – recognised Lighthouse Factory, enabled a decade of targeted digital transformation. The keynote highlights concrete use cases including a digital bidding system, a customised ETO engineering platform, seamless CAD-to-CAM integration that connects engineering data direct to manufacturing testing.

Engineering continuity in a global digital era: A 25 year journey toward scalable, digital electrical engineering

Over 25 years, Danieli Automation has digitised and standardised the full electrical panel engineering process together with Eplan. Driving by global expansion, rising complexity, and shorter delivery times, engineering evolved from local, CAD-based designs to centralised, automated and data-driven workflows.

Best practice – Coca-Cola Europacific Partners

Several hundred production lines in more than 30 countries worldwide is a big challenge for operation and maintenance. In this best practice from Coca-Cola, it’s not only about software, it’s about global concepts and standards as well as new technology to keep it all running.

Master classes – learn from Eplan experts

The Eplan Next master classes are designed for professionals who want to streamline their engineering process and stay ahead in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. This way, they can elevate the way they work with Eplan. In the master classes, we focus on practical, real‑world applications.
