From the production line worker to the digital twin – How we combine operational efficiency with strategic production planning
When faults are rectified, machinery is reconfigured or processes on the production line are adjusted, this has a direct impact on the efficiency of the entire production process. But how are these operational insights from operators incorporated into overarching planning and optimisation?
At the Connected Worker Day 2026 on 17 September at the Altes Pumpenhaus in Dresden, we’ll show you how we bridge the gap between the operator’s perspective on the shop floor and holistic production and logistics planning. Find out how you can use digital twins and our specialised apps SimVSM and SimPacSi to sustainably optimise your processes, both when designing new systems and when retrofitting existing ones.
Event Details
Date: 17 September 2026 (from 09:30)
Venue: Altes Pumpenhaus, Devrientstraße 18B, 01067 Dresden
Target audience: Managers and experts from production, manufacturing, logistics, process planning and digitalisation
Cost: Attendance is free of charge (limited places – registration required)
Our key focus areas at the event
At our stand, we will be presenting our full portfolio for simulation and digitalisation, with targeted demos on the following topics:
- Digital twins for planning & retrofitting: Use simulation models as a basis for decision-making – from validating new production concepts through to re-planning and optimising existing plants (retrofitting).
- Bridging the gap between operators and planning: Discover how operational data from fault rectification and changeover processes can be used to realistically map planning parameters and proactively avoid bottlenecks.
- Value stream mapping & analysis with SimVSM: Map and analyse your value streams dynamically and via an app directly on the shop floor. Assess the impact of changeover times or faults immediately within the simulation.
- Modelling & simulation of production lines with SimPacSi: Average values from static tables are not sufficient to realistically model dynamic effects such as faults, buffer effects or cycle time deviations. SimPacSi bridges this gap. Our plant optimisation expert, Karsten Beyer, will be on site and will be happy to demonstrate specific use cases.
What to expect at the event
Connected Worker Day is the meeting place for decision-makers from industry. You can look forward to:
- Practical insights: Why connected working on the shop floor is now a key factor in competitiveness.
- Real-world user case studies: Practical examples from industry (including the pharmaceutical and mechanical engineering sectors), covering challenges, lessons learnt and concrete results.
- Live demos & professional exchange: Test our software solutions live and engage in discussions with our experts on an equal footing.
Further information and registration details can be found on the event page.
