Practical forum for production
IT/OT Integration Summit
The digitalization of production is no longer a topic for the future - it happens exactly where IT and OT meet. But how can this integration succeed in practice? The IT/OT Integration Summit on June 24, 2026 in Augsburg will provide a clear answer to this question.
Concrete solutions instead of theory
Under the motto "Where industry meets IT - practical, cross-manufacturer", the practical forum is aimed specifically at decision-makers in mechanical and plant engineering. The practical forum is organized by SmartFactory Kaiserslautern e.V. and Pelemedia GmbH and takes place in the Innovation Hub of Xitaso GmbH in Augsburg.
The focus is not on visions or marketing promises, but on real projects that are already working in production today. Participants will gain concrete insights into how classic automation systems can be meaningfully combined with modern IT technologies such as the cloud, data platforms and AI.
What makes the Summit special is its consistent practical orientation. Instead of abstract concepts, visitors will experience comprehensible solution approaches - from individual OT signals to integrated IT functions. The contributions follow a clear reference architecture that brings structure to the often complex world of IT/OT integration and shows how individual components interact in a meaningful way.
Orientation for your own implementation
In terms of content, the event also addresses exactly where many companies currently stand: when entering into data-driven production, integrating existing systems or further developing production control and planning. The topics are presented in a compact format and placed directly in the application context.
In addition to the presentations, the format offers sufficient space for exchange. It is precisely this direct dialog with colleagues and experts from the industry that makes the event so valuable.
The IT/OT Integration Summit is therefore much more than a traditional conference. It is a place for everyone who is looking for concrete solutions, wants to make well-founded decisions and wants to future-proof their production.
Anyone who wants to understand how IT and OT grow together in practice should not miss this event.
