[INTERNATIONAL OEM MEETING] 📆 On September 25 and 26, we had the pleasure of hosting our annual conference entirely remotely, organized over two half-days and bringing together a hundred participants each day from all countries. 🗺️ In addition to the topics covered by our teams during this event, which addressed technological developments, product offerings, development opportunities and the successes of our sales teams, we had the privilege of receiving 3 external guests online: Jakob Jul Jensen, Head of Business Development, Vertical Data Center of Danfoss Climate Solutions who shared with us his experience of the data center market, thus complementing our own experience and vision of this market.  Once again, a big thank you to him for his availability and his sharing, which were greatly appreciated by all our participants. As well as Greta Corsale and Veerle Beelaerts from the EHI - Association of the European Heating Industry, an association with which we have been partners for many years, and with whom we regularly exchange on trends and players in the heating and air conditioning market in Europe. It was also a great pleasure to welcome them. As always, this event provided a fantastic platform for all of our OEM teams who we thank for their efforts and those to come. #Wilo #OEM  

🚀 Best Practice Sharing Day at Wilopark: AI in Operations & Industry Insights     As a member of the MIMA Champions Circle, a recognition Wilo earned for its Adaptive Worker Assistance after winning the prestigious Microsoft Intelligent Manufacturing Award (MIMA), we teamed up with Roland Berger and Microsoft Germany to host the Best Practice Sharing Day. The event focused on AI in Operations and brought together leading experts to exchange insights on the future of manufacturing.    Georg Weber, member of the Executive Board and CTO of the Wilo Group, highlighted Wilo’s inclusion in the MIMA Champions Circle's Hall of Fame, stating: “Through our ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability, we aim to make a positive impact on society and create a livable future for the next generations. It's not just about developing new products and solutions, but continuously improving existing technologies and processes—always with people at the centre.” 💡    📊 Keynotes and AI Integration in Wilo’s Smart Factory    The event featured insightful presentations from Wilo experts Stephan Böing and Christian Berger, who showcased how we’re integrating AI into our Smart Factory processes. As Christian Berger noted, “The key to implementing new technologies like AI is understanding their function and requirements, making information more accessible, and boosting efficiency.”    In the afternoon, industry leaders such as Nicolas Savides from NVIDIA and experts from Roland Berger discussed how AI is revolutionising production operations across industries.     Wrapping up a day of insightful discussions, the RB Operations team around Dr. Julia Duwe, Steffen Gackstatter, and Felix M. and Microsoft’s Manufacturing Industry Lead Nico Hartmann officially launched the new report “Accelerate, Innovate, Empower” on the status-quo of AI in Operations, jointly written with NVIDIA. Re-analyzing the tangible, pioneering use cases from five editions of MIMA, experts from RB, Microsoft, and NVIDIA consolidated seven success patterns for digitalization success in Operations and shed a light on the required steps towards an ‘AI flight path to success’.”    👏 A big thank you to everyone involved. We’re thrilled to continue driving innovation and shaping the future of intelligent manufacturing.    #Connecting #Innovation #AI #MIMA #FutureOfManufacturing #Industry40 #TechLeadership

Guided by long-term targets for 2030, our commitment to sustainability aligns directly with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Be it Borussia Dortmund with the football and handball teams⚽, the team German Men's Eight 🚣♂️or, from an international perspective, the Leicester Tigers.🏉 But what we ask ourselves: What is your favourite sport? 🙂 #BVB #GermanMensEight #LeicesterTigers #ScoringForSustainability #PartnershipsWithPurpose
