Keynote

Introduction to Digital Factory

Discover how digital technologies are reshaping the factory lifecycle—from planning through to operations. This session provides highlights each stage of the lifecycle along with practical examples; driving efficiency, agility, and smarter decision-making. Learn how to make your digital factory a reality in today’s evolving industrial landscape.

Plan session

Plan session with Q&A

The Plan phase establishes the strategic foundation by digitally assessing site and factory feasibility, capturing the current state, and modelling future scenarios to align factory layout and capabilities with business goals. We will be covering a number of capabilities including creating the data foundation, collaboration, conceptual layouts, and data-driven insights.

Design session

Design session with Q&A

This phase turns plans into collaborative models by integrating systems via digital tools to optimize layout, detect clashes, and simulate workflows. Learn how Nextomation uses digital simulations and 3D tools to support customers through process automation and decision-making. Experience how digital simulation optimized workflows and utility usage.

Build session

Build session with Q&A

The Build phase focuses on executing construction and commissioning efficiently by leveraging digital capabilities such as coordination, issue tracking, and handover; ensuring minimal disruption and maximum quality. Discover in this session how to minimize errors and rework early, connect specs to plans, and keep key disciplines aligned along the way.

Operate session

Operate session with Q&A

The Operate phase focuses on managing and optimizing production and facility performance through real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and data-driven insights to enhance efficiency and reduce downtime. This session will provide insights into how to connect data across the factory lifecycle phases—to boost agility, react fast and drive smarter decisions.
