ProSTEP iViP Symposium - Digitalization of Products & Production

Darmstadt – February – On 17 and 18 May 2017, the PLM-Symposium for professionals and executives from all over the world will take place at the Colosseum Theatre in Essen, Germany.

Global competition, shorter development times, lower costs, Internet of things, Systems Engineering, increasing complexity of products and production are the issues that concern the manufacturing industry. Engineering and production have to be closely interlocked – more transparency is needed.  The management needs the right figures and prognoses to make decisions. This requires innovative thinking, new methods, and processes and in the end efficient software tools.  All these aspects will be subject matters at the ProSTEP iViP Symposium 2017.

More than 40 lectures will present innovative concepts and IT solutions for the manufacturing industry. Workshops and live-demonstrations at the accompanying exhibition should provide further information and insight. The complete conference program is available at http://www.prostep.org/en/events/prostep-ivip-symposium-2017/program/
