Keynote

Driving transformation in challenging times

Has digital transformation already become mainstream for industrial players? And how do you keep the innovation cycle moving in these challenging times ahead? The opening keynote session of BCW20 will provide answers.

February 19, 2020: 9:30 am – 11:00 am, Stage A

Connected buildings

Digitalization has a tangible impact on buildings. The structures have to be more powerful and more energy-efficient while becoming easier to manage. Connecting buildings can transcend their role as a fixed asset, evolving into a strategic asset, providing information and rich data for improving business processes and generating new revenue streams.

February 19, 2020: 11:20 am – 12:50 pm, Stage A

Artifial intelligence

Applying AI to the physical world is creating significant benefits. Thanks to recent innovations in cloud computing and big data, AI is making great strides in improving efficiency, productivity, performance and employee support. A new era of working is starting and AI is a driving force of making this vision reality.

February 19, 2020: 11:20 am – 12:50 pm, Stage B

Successfully shaping change

There are many reasons why digital transformation activities fail more often than they are successful, and these are usually not technology-related. In this session we will talk about the good, the bad and the ugly of the three cornerstones of successfully shaping change: leadership, learning and innovation. Keep calm and transform on.

February 19, 2020: 11:20 am – 2:50 pm, Stage C

Manufacturing

From pilots to scalable solutions: Takeoff strategies for digital manufacturing from the shop floor perspective. What is the vision, setup and evolution of the digital value stream and “Factory of the Future”? What are the mechanisms to move from small IoT pilots to mass-adoption cases? What are the prerequisites and success factors for industrial scaling?

February 19, 2020: 1:50 pm – 2:50 pm, Stage A

Retail

Digitization, IoT and the availability of an abundance of data are opening up new possibilities for the retail industry. In this session, retailers, device manufacturers and service providers will share best practices on how teaming up within a cross-vendor ecosystem helps all market players to realize the real potential of data-driven use cases and business models.

February 19, 2020: 1:50 pm-2:50 pm, Stage B

Logistics

Industrial Scaling: Takeoff strategies for digital value stream from a supply chain perspective. What is the vision, setup and evolution of the digital value stream and “Factory of the Future”? What are the mechanisms to move from small IoT pilots to mass-adoption cases? What are the prerequisites and success factors for industrial scaling?

February 19, 2020: 3:10 pm – 4:10 pm, Stage A

Construction

The construction industry is finally ripe for digital disruption, but digitalization can turn existing challenges to innovation potential and future business opportunities. In this session we will discuss the latest market developments and initiatives to drive and be part of these market opportunities.

February 19, 2020: 3:10 pm – 4:10 pm, Stage B

Keynote

Technology as disruptive force

Technology innovation is happening at ever increasing speed, enabling new and distruptive business models. The CTO keynote session is looking at some of the latest developments in the evolution of technology, and will evaluate their disruptive potential. IIoT and AI are the foundation, 5G will be showcased using a manufacturing pilot project and an outlook into the opportunities of quantum computing will round up the session.

February 19, 2020: 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm, Stage A
