4. International VDI Conference - Connected Off-Highway Machines

When hearing about connectivity and automation, most people think of the automobile industry. Autnomous car technologies and driverless cabs have been discussed often in recent days. However, connectivity and automation is not only limited to automobiles. In the Off-Highway Industries mobile machines become increasingly connected and drive (semi-) autonomously already. These new technologies revolutionize the industry: They increase productivity and efficiency while reducing costs and making working conditions in harsh environments safer. Our 4th international VDI conference “Connected Off-Highway Machines”, taking place on May 14 and 15, 2019 in Dusseldorf, offers an ideal platform to discuss latest technology trends with international experts.

Smart Future for the Off-Highway Industry?

All major players of the Off-Highway Industry are working on smart technologies and solutions. Automation, connectivity and digital processes have many benefits. However, there are still many challenges and questions ahead: How do connectivity and automation impact business models? How to really benefit from Big Data? How to integrate artificial intelligence in Off-Highway Machines? When and how will fully Autonomous Off-Highway Machines become a reality? How does the role of the worker change?

Our 4th international VDI conference “Connected Off-Highway Machines”, taking place on May 14 and 15, 2019 in Dusseldorf, is dedicated to these challenges and questions. The following topics will be discussed:

• New & Alternative Business Models for Connected and Autonomous Mobile Machines
• The Way towards Autonomous Mobile Machines
• Autonomous Use Cases from Mining, Construction and Agriculture
• Connectivity Challenges and Value of Data
• Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Technology
• Out-of-the-Box: Perspectives on Connectivity and Automation from the Automobile and Aerospace Industries

If you have technology insights or a best practice example to share, contact Maria Baumeister.
