In times of increasing digitalization and economic dynamics, industrial companies are challenged more than ever to increase their efficiency and productivity. This is the only way they can remain competitive in the future. All of this is forcing them to move away from traditional processes and systems - and to use powerful digital technologies. Pfeiffer Vacuum and Busch Vacuum, two leading German mechanical engineering companies that we at MHP are currently supporting as their implementation partner, are also facing these fundamental changes and challenges of digital transformation. The basis for their new common-IT approach is S/4HANA from SAP, a cross-industry established and a state-of-the-art system for all business processes. You can look forward to valuable insights on how to succeed in the digitalization journey in a heterogeneous, volatile, and complex business environment - one in which diverse, globally distributed organizations, and stand-alone companies must come together to achieve long-term success. This keynote lecture will provide you with insightful project experiences from our consulting practice. Digital Transformation Stage M | 02:00 - 02:20 pm | Impulse Session

Tomorrow’s mobility will be autonomous – and so numerous OEMs and suppliers in the automotive industry are researching physical systems and digital applications that will enable vehicles to drive fully autonomously in the future. Expectations are high: The Volkswagen Group alone aims to generate around 30 percent of its revenue from autonomous driving services by 2030. But will autonomous driving become a game changer and an essential part of future mobility? Are the high investments and expectations justified? Will self-driving shuttles have a lasting positive impact on traffic? Based on exclusive primary data, metadata analyses and existing data from our projects, we develop various scenarios. This gives you a valid insight into the opportunities afforded by autonomous driving. We will also present the first results from the study of the same name that we are currently compiling with the Fraunhofer Institute and Motor Presse Stuttgart. It will then be published in full in the fall of 2022. Mobility Services Stage M | 01:35 - 01:55 pm | Impulse Session

Production-as-a-service models enable manufacturing companies to make the processes and financing of their production facilities much more flexible and scalable. V-Frames is a good example of this. The innovative company uses a pioneering carbon injection molding method to produce extremely stable and 100 percent recyclable e-bike frames. For agile production, V Frames works with FlexFactory – a joint venture between MHP, Porsche and MunichRe. Its variable and world-leading feeding systems help V Frames to further optimize its smart factory with intelligent automation. This Impulse Lecture will present how MHP, in close cooperation with FlexFactory, supports VFrames in finding the appropriate and scalable digitalization.
