Day 1
Connecting the All Electric Society
Welcome to the HARTING Industrial Ethernet Week 4
9:30
Kilian Schmale, Head of Regional Field Marketing Field Marketing EMEA at the HARTING Technology Group welcomes you and gives you an overview of all the topics you can expect: the All Electric Society, its challenges, sector coupling and the important role of Industrial Ethernet as the basis and central nervous system for seamless data communication.
The Future is Electric – How Integrated Energy Systems Empower Efficiency
9:35
The All Electric Society is a comprehensive vision, encompassing all aspects of energy production and consumption – from renewable sources and automated manufacturing to smart networks that optimize efficiency across sectors. In his keynote, Gunther Koschnick (Managing Director Automation at ZVEI) presents integrated energy systems as a cornerstone for enabling growth while decarbonizing industries. His message: Cooperation and association are key to convincing politics, investors and society itself of the enormous benefits of an electrified future.
NEW ENERGY - how AI transform us from centralized energy consumers to decentralized energy traders
10:00
We are in the midst of a transformation of the energy market from static, fossil-based production to a dynamic supply with renewables. They bring with them a new challenge: the volatility of wind and sun. The game changer is not simply ‘more of the same: namely expanding electricity grids’, but intelligent AI-based control and electricity storage. Our households will become decentralised energy players that produce, buy, sell and store electricity. What does it take to participate and benefit from the cheapest and cleanest electricity? 1KOMMA5° is the energy unicorn from Hamburg that has cracked this code and offers technical and technical solutions from a single source. The motto here is simply do it instead of lamenting about the climate! We are looking forward to this contribution from Sophia Rödiger, Chief Marketing Officer DACH, 1KOMMA5° GmbH.
Industrial AI: from buzzword to real added value
10:45h
Discover how Industrial AI is transforming from hype to actionable Solutions. This session showcases examples where AI drives Efficiency and sustainability. Learn how AI bridges the gap between Innovation and measurable results in industrial applications.
IIoT Use Case: Technology meets practice - proven implementation examples!
11:05
Madeleine Mickeleit (CEO & Founder, www.iotusecase.com) will present tried-and-tested IIoT use cases from the community. Based on three exemplary projects, you will learn how companies have created real added value and which central building blocks - from data acquisition to IT/OT data integration to successful implementation - were in focus.
Panel Discussion
11:30
In a concluding panel discussion, the speakers of the day will discuss Industrial Ethernet as the basis for seamless data communication to increase efficiency, levers and challenges.
