MESI 4.0 Summit 2025 will take place under the theme: Connecting Global Manufacturing Champions. On site, IT and operations experts from the fields of electronics, semiconductors, medical devices, and industrial equipment will discuss the latest smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 technologies and their application. The summit will provide practical insights and effective strategies to help delegates stay ahead in an ever-competitive market, including exploring the role of MES in automating operations across multiple sites.
The 2025 conference will also offer a host of new features focused on helping users understand emerging innovations. This includes a Technology Track dedicated to the future of AI, low code, devOps, and other next-gen solutions.
Francisco Almada Lobo, CEO of Critical Manufacturing, commented: “The response to our first edition was overwhelming, and we are very excited to come back in 2025 with an even more ambitious program. MESI 4.0 Summit isn’t only about technology; it’s about creating connections that will lead to real change. The event will equip attendees with practical ideas necessary to implement scalable smart manufacturing solutions that will enable them to keep pace in today’s competitive landscape.”
Beyond the Technology Track, the summit will feature parallel tracks that target the specific needs of customers and partners. Roundtables and workshops will dive into digital transformation topics across the MES functionality spectrum.
The MES Expert Lab and Expo Pavilion will also return in 2025, offering attendees an exclusive opportunity to engage with Critical Manufacturing’s MES experts. Meanwhile, the Expo Pavilion will once again provide Critical Manufacturing’s partners with a platform to showcase their solutions to attendees, fostering collaboration and innovation in the global manufacturing landscape.
Given that most of the speakers are hands-on practitioners of manufacturing technology implementation, attendees will get the benefits of first-person accounts of successful digital transformation at some of the world’s leading companies. Building on the diverse participation last year—two-thirds of attendees having been C-level executives or from operations, IT —the forthcoming event aims to attract an even broader set of industry professionals eager to advance their digital capabilities.
Registrations for the summit are now open and interested parties are encouraged to register early.
