Pepperl+Fuchs invites you to its second Online Summit: register now, free of charge, to gain access to this fully digital event, which will be held from 17-19 November. The format will be similar to that of the pilot event held in July, and the focus remains “Your Future Automation”. Hhowever, this event will address new sub-topics and particular focus will be placed on the increasing integration of operations technology (OT) and information technology (IT).
To reflect this focus, each day of the event will be dedicated to one of the three main subject areas. The following will be presented through keynotes, presentations and panel discussions among experts from Pepperl+Fuchs and its partner companies:
• Driving the IIoT Revolution – Challenges, Benefits and Next Steps.
• Digitalisation in Service and Maintenance – Process Industry in Transition.
• Next Level of Ultrasonic Technology – Intelligent, Functionally Safe and Autonomous.
A chat function will allow attendees to submit questions to be answered by the experts. Extra content such as technical white papers, videos, and presentations will be made available on the online platform, and further materials will be uploaded after the event. This provides attendees with added value beyond the content of the live event. To enable anyone to attend regardless of their location or time zone, all content will be provided in both German and English, and presented in both the morning and afternoon.
"We received a very positive response to our first Online Summit, so obviously we want to continue with the new digital format,” said Stefan Maus, director global marketing at Pepperl+Fuchs. “Attendees can once again look forward to a wide range of subjects and exciting insights from our speakers and industry experts.”
