High quality demands from customers, low cost of goods, volatile markets, diversification and specialization of the product portfolio, a functioning supply chain - the economic pressure on chemical, pharmaceutical and food production has steadily increased in recent years. Above all, those responsible in the companies demand that things have to be faster, more cost-effective and more adaptable to market requirements. To achieve these goals, the concept of modular plant engineering and the Module Type Package (MTP) standard have been developed.

IT and OT in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries are facing a paradigm shift - both are moving towards each other and appear to be gradually merging. The challenges lie in the integration of centralized IT systems with diverse automation solutions, while at the same time explosion protection and plant safety requirements must be taken into account. The PROCESS Technology Day is dedicated to the practical implementation of IT/OT convergence and offers expert presentations, many practical tips and a high-caliber panel discussion.

The digital transformation of the pharmaceutical industry is being driven by the need to overcome data silos, connect teams worldwide and increase efficiency in research, development and production. Although the basis for digitalization is there, the industry has some catching up to do. The PROCESS Technology Day addresses this area of tension in expert presentations and a top-class panel discussion and shows which concepts and solutions pharmaceutical companies can use to become more digital.

Hydrogen is a key technology for the energy transition and enables sustainable production processes, but also poses significant challenges such as high investments and necessary infrastructure changes. The PROCESS Technology Day brings together experts from various fields to exchange innovations and best practices and to drive the further development of the hydrogen economy in the process industry.
