Today’s manufacturing companies face lots of challenges and pressure around sustainability reporting. We will show how an ERP system can calculate the CO2 footprint on manufactured products and measure the company’s emissions. Johan Holmsten – 25 years’ experience in manufacturing industry and the ERP sector.

The presentation is about how to provide business and people with collaborative virtual environments to imagine sustainable innovations. By creating 'virtual twin experiences’ of the real world with 3DEXPERIENCE platform and applications, our customers push the boundaries of innovation, learning and production. Stephane has been working in the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) industry for 22 years, he joined Dassault Systèmes in 2002, and he occupied various positions from strategy to technical sales management with his background in CAD solutions and collaborative applications. He has been focusing on business development and the enablement of Virtual Twin.

This presentation delves into the transformative impact of Epicor CPQ (Configure Price Quote) on manufacturing industry companies. We will explore how Epicor CPQ optimizes sales processes, reduces errors, and accelerates production cycles by enabling precise, automated quote and proposal generation. Attendees will gain insights into the system's capabilities to handle complex product configurations, manage pricing efficiently, and streamline operations from sales to manufacturing. The session will also highlight Lithuanian case studies demonstrating significant ROI and enhanced customer satisfaction by adopting Epicor Software in manufacturing.

Industry 4.0 is strongly depended on radio-frequency (RF) based communication and navigation services, and this dependency will even raise in the midterm future. Some examples are 5G/6G infrastructure, IoT/M2M networks (e.g. for precision farming, safety of infrastructure), supply chain management or autonomous driving (GNSS/PNT based) for container movers or the car of the future. The current RF environment is more and more often compromised by intentional and unintentional disturbers (incl. spoofers), especially in the area of BalticSea and Europe’s east flank. The presentation will show which counteractions should be done to protect the industrial and institutional ecosystem in the future, and which parts can be solved in cooperation of (ground based and space based) technical systems and stakeholders (European and local ones).

The presentation will focus on: the synergies between digital and green transformation, which will pay off in the long run, making our industries more productive and internationally competitive; international and public investment in business, which will contribute to the digital and green transformation and help Lithuanian industry to become 5.0.

Welcome notes

This presentation will provide an overview of Lithuania's economic development over the past decade and beyond, analysing the main drivers of growth, structural changes and competitiveness challenges. It will look at global and regional trends affecting the country's economy and identify the main risks and opportunities ahead. How can Lithuania remain competitive in an era of technological transformation? What solutions are needed for long-term economic sustainability? These and other questions will be explored based on data, analysis and insights.

This presentation explores the global trends, opportunities, and challenges of applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) in industrial sectors, with a focus on both regional and the international landscape. We will examine how AI is reshaping manufacturing, planning, logistics, maintenance, and sustainability initiatives, and what strategic steps industrial companies must take to successfully integrate AI technologies across the end-to-end supply chain, for the purposes of driving productivity, resilience and autonomy for industrial companies. Key enablers such as data infrastructure, workforce upskilling, and cross-sector collaboration will be discussed, and what SAP is proposing to alleviate the complexity. The session will highlight practical areas where AI can deliver value, from predictive maintenance and process optimization to autonomy in the decision making of supply chain management and sustainability, offering a roadmap for companies looking to stay competitive in the age of intelligent industry.

Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) practices, traditionally used by Systems Architects during the conceptual phase of complex products in the Aerospace & Defence industry, are now gaining significant momentum across multiple industries, like Automotive, Infrastructure, Healthcare and across the entire lifecycle of products & services, from mission engineering to operation & support. MBSE is emerging as a pivotal enabler for end-to-end processes, spanning architecture, hardware and software integration, to virtual testing and validation. The integration of electrical & electronics, safety, and cybersecurity domains into a unified & consistent model-based approach is becoming increasingly crucial to deliver smarter & safer End Users Experiences. Emerging technologies, such as generative Artificial Intelligence leveraging large language models, and new modelling languages, like SysML V2 are also gaining a lot of attention. How will they accelerate the adoption of MBSE practices?

The presentation will discuss the changing geopolitical relationship between major powers, the impact of US foreign policy on Europe's security and economy, and the new opportunities arising from the current uncertainties.

Cybersecurity has become law and is no longer an option for factory owners and machine builders. The security of a production site or a machine fundamentally relies on its network design. The presentation will reveal the common defects in network design that you should avoid, highlight the key requirements from industrial security standard IEC62443, and give you best practice recommendations taking account of network segmentation, multi-layered defence, and secure remote access.
