Proud to see the results of our cooperation with Brainport Industries' Factory of the Future program. We worked with Omron Industrial Automation Europe to connect one of their assembly lines to a digital platform to steer on OEE. The video nicely shows the success factors: - Thinking about the long term (standards) - Starting small - Collaborating within the innovative Brainport ecosystem - And the last one applies to both the project and this video: being close to the shop floor

👋 On my way back to Berlin from bustling Stuttgart 🚚 Reflecting on my transformative experience at LogiMAT-Messe 2024 in Stuttgart, the journey has been nothing short of inspirational. 🌟 The wealth of insights and cherished memories from the event still resonates in my memory. Together with my esteemed colleague, Jurica Krizanic (the Logistics Hero 🚀), we immersed ourselves in a realm of innovation and forward-thinking within intralogistics. Our collaboration and exchange of ideas were enriched further by joining forces with our sister company, Logistics Reply, at their vibrant booth. (Thanks for the great hospitality guy's!) The event, spanning from March 19th to 21st at the Messe Stuttgart, stood as a dynamic epicenter for professionals eager to explore the future of intralogistics and process management. Among the standout moments were captivating talks that delved into the pressing challenges and opportunities in our field: 1️⃣ Efficiency and Error Rates Concerns? Julian Doelfs from TeamViewer Germany GmbH held the audience spellbound in Hall 8 Forum South, discussing how vision picking is revolutionizing warehouse operations. 2️⃣ Maximizing Equipment Availability and Longevity was expertly addressed by Doug Schouchart of Beckhoff Automation GmbH & Co. KG in Hall 7 Forum North, unveiling the benefits of open control platforms. Last but not least: 3️⃣ Accelerating the Green Transformation in Logistics saw Erik Wirsing of DB Schenker Deutschland AG illuminate the path forward for our industry in Hall 7 Forum North, emphasizing sustainability and innovation. These enlightening session examples not only broadened our understanding of the industry’s direction but also ignited discussions on efficiency, innovation, and sustainability — core themes pivotal to the advancement of intralogistics. I’m profoundly satisfied for the opportunity to have been part of LogiMAT 2024, for the wisdom imparted, and for the connections forged. As we anticipate integrating these insights into our work, the significance of community and collaboration in propelling our industry forward has never been more apparent. ✌️ Talk soon and see you again in 2025! #reply #LogiMAT2024 #Intralogistics #Innovation #Sustainability #Industry4.0 #Networking

Factory-X Kick Off in Frankfurt 📌 Yesterday was the official kick-off event of the Factory-X funding project of the Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz at the VDMA in Frankfurt. It was a very successful event in which the enthusiasm and spirit could clearly be felt. It was clear that Factory-X as a project of Manufacturing-X is an important lighthouse project, but as Ernst Stöckl-Pukall said, "The System is much more than Factory-X". And so here, too, it is important to think beyond the boundaries of one's own project. Thanks to the consortium management SAP and Siemens for the great organization. Especially to Roland Rosen; Silke Huesmann, Dirk Vielsaecker and Georg Kube and many more🚀 We as TRUMPF were represented as a strong team with Klaus Bauer, Ingo Sawilla and Thomas Rettich in Frankfurt (and many more virtual).  As TRUMPF, we take responsibility at various points because we are convinced that cross-company cooperation in the ecosystem is the basis for a successful future in mechanical and plant engineering. Special thanks to Tom Schneider, who supports and not only fires up the vision of the as a service approach in his role as CTO, but also in his book "Umdenken as a service".  📈 In my role as Business Model Lead together with Gunter Deppner from SAP, we are able to develop and shape the active principles of value creation in ecosystems with a broad team.   I am looking forward to the coming months and am excited to see the first results. ❓ How do you see the opportunities for value creation in ecosystems and what do you think needs to be done to ensure that small and medium-sized companies can participate alongside large companies? #serviceoriented #datadriven #businessmodels #factoryx #trumpf #smartfactory #ecosystems #vdma #manufacturingx

Day 2 Recap of the Supply Chain & Logistics Innovation Summit in Amsterdam (a little late) Splendid second day. A big thank you to all speakers and delegates. Both days were full of innovative ideas, great discussions and the right amount of time and space to talk and meet. Specifically, highlights of day 2 to me were: #Infineon on managing semiconductor supply chains through the crisis years. With 1.000 process steps, multiple supply chains (based on product line) and a yearly output of 35 BN chips Infineon's supply chain is tremendously complex. The pandemic and especially dropping demand for cars let to strong overshooting effects in the system (demand/supply, the bullwhip effect). True supply chain collaboration could ease the impact, but in a global network with almost countless agents and often missing trust, very hard to achieve. Infineon is using 2 tactics to ease the effects: 1) understanding the „true“ demand through anonymized surveys and forecast in the supply and customer base and 2) deploying VMI replenishment strategies based on absolute targets and not on relative inventory reach. Very curious to see how this will play out. All of this masterfully presented by Hans Ehm. #AutomotiveAllianceGroup on turning their logistics green. AAG has defined ambitious targets to reduce their scope 1 and 2 emissions. As a business in automotive spare parts their operations are heavily centered around the logistics and distribution of parts to garages all across Europe. In order to move towards green, they decided to move a very large portion of their last mile fleet to EV by 2030. Great to see that green can go hand-in-hand with financially viability. Thanks Peter Meyer for the extremely interesting insights and the Q&A after the presentation #ASSAABLOY on a E2E supply chain transformation and digitizing their traded good supply chain. I especially liked the people element here. ASSA ABLOY is engaged in a holistic transformation across their European logistics network and Danny van der Ster had multiple very enlightening examples how difficult (and rewarding) it is to drive transformation across countries and cultures. Also very interesting: the challenges of integrating 1.5 new companies per month(!) in the supply chain after M&A. Very insightful. Looking very much forward to next year and to keep in touch with all supply chain experts around the globe. #SCinnovation #GreenLogistics #semiconductors

Industry data ecosystems first need a platform for conversation!   As we approach the end of April, buzzwords from the manufacturing industry will be everywhere at HANNOVER MESSE 2024 (22nd to 26th April): Business Networks, Manufacturing X, Catena X, Smart Factory, Industry 4.0, digital twins, among others.   There couldn't be a better time for HANNOVER MESSE 2024 to discuss how today’s factory floors 🏭 can transform into connected digital ecosystems 🛰️☁️. This transformation requires not just technological integration but also open exchange about relevant data and processes among business partners and suppliers.   Clarifying these buzzwords (and I’d love to discuss them with you at our booth E17 in hall 15) is key to this dialogue. I am utterly convinced of that.   HANNOVER MESSE? We're not just attending; we're shaping the future. 🚀#HM24  Hagen Heubach Stefan Krauss Sven Denecken Julia White Dominik Mark Metzger Thomas Saueressig Daniel Huber Joern Keller Muhammad Alam Hahn Thomas Dirk Vielsaecker Ernst Stöckl-Pukall Nina Stock
