How Digitally Mature is Your Organisation - and Are You Doing Enough to Succeed?
Introduction by Daniel Marcus, NTI
This opening session will set the stage for the Connected Manufacturing Summit by exploring what digital maturity really means in manufacturing today. You will gain a clearer perspective on where your organisation may stand, how it compares to industry peers, and where the greatest opportunities for improvement lie.
Use this session as your starting point for the day: a chance to reflect on where you are today, and what it takes to move toward a truly connected manufacturing enterprise.

SEE THE OPPORTUNITIES
RELEASE YOUR DIGITAL SUPERPOWERS
What separates the manufacturers that lead from those that struggle to keep up? Often, it’s not technology alone — it’s how they unlock their digital superpowers. Drawing on insights from global industry leaders, Asif Moghal explores the challenges manufacturers face today: delayed products, inefficient processes, and growing skill shortages.
Instead of starting with technology, he will focus on the people, strategy, and mindset that drive real transformation. Through five powerful digital superpowers — including mass customisation, digital collaboration, flexible manufacturing, customer experience, smart services, and AI — you’ll see practical ways manufacturers are boosting innovation, productivity, and customer value.
Expect a high-energy session that challenges how you think about the future of manufacturing.

Session 2: 10:50 - 11:25 CEST
LEARN HOW TO USE THE OPPORTUNITIES
MANUAL TO DIGITAL DNA
Many manufacturing companies are on a similar journey: moving from manual processes and scattered data toward true digital DNA.
Despite differences in products and markets, the challenges are surprisingly alike — too much engineering time per project, incomplete customer specifications, siloed data, and limited visibility into what customers bought.
In this session, we will explore these common challenges and show practical examples of how leading manufacturers are solving them through digitalisation, standardisation, and smarter engineering-to-order processes.
