Practical Questions

Who is this workshop for?

SMB metal companies (25-250 employees) who want to learn about digitalization. Ideal for management, production managers, and key users together—this creates shared understanding.

Is this just theory or also practical?

Both. We combine education with hands-on exercises. You'll work with real examples, analyze your own situation, and create an actionable plan—not just listen to slides.

What about the format options?

The standard is 2 full-day sessions. If that doesn't fit your schedule, we can discuss alternatives: a compressed 1-day version or 2 half-days spread over two weeks. We'll find what works for your team.

What do we learn about MES and 3D viewers?

The workshop provides an honest overview of what exists, what it's for, and what's relevant. No sales pitches for specific vendors—independent education.

Do all managers need to participate?

It works best with a mixed group: management, production, engineering, and operations. This creates team alignment and shared understanding of the direction.
