Manufacturing customised products under complex technical requirements is a decisive success factor in mechanical and plant engineering. However, efficient digital processes are essential in order to remain competitive in the long term. 

Efficient modular development contributes to reducing design costs, increases economies of scale and enables the integration of neutral prefabrication in production. It also forms the basis for powerful configuration. Configuration enables end-to-end digitalisation of order processing. Among other things, this reduces effort, promotes the reuse of components and modules, and shortens delivery times. This makes the entire process more efficient and flexible.

In this event, Achenbach Buschhütten GmbH and Sollich KG will share their practical experiences and offer exciting insights into the implementation of their digital transformation processes. Afterwards, participants will have the opportunity to discuss their own challenges and solutions in workshops.

The event is aimed at company management, executives from development and design as well as product management, and those responsible for digitalisation who want to optimise their processes in product development and order processing.

Moderator: Walter Heinrich Neumann
Registration deadline: 26 September 2025
