All Members Conven­tion 2026

At the OI4 All Members Conven­tion 2026 in Frank­furt, the focus was on what matters most to the Open Industry 4.0 Alliance: our commu­nity and the exchange between the people who turn ideas into real indus­trial solu­tions.

The day brought together members from across the Alliance to look back at what we have achieved, discuss where we are heading and, most impor­tantly, shape the next steps together. Project updates and insights from the commu­nity provided the basis for discus­sions around current chal­lenges, emerging tech­nolo­gies and new oppor­tu­ni­ties for collab­o­ra­tion.

A key part of the event was the open and inter­ac­tive format. Breakout sessions, a Fish­bowl Discus­sion and ongoing poster and flipchart discus­sions gave partic­i­pants plenty of room to contribute their own perspec­tives, ques­tions and use cases. Topics ranged from Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence and Soft­ware-Defined Automa­tion to digital twins, cyber­se­cu­rity, digital cali­bra­tion and other initia­tives currently being driven within OI4.

The value of the Conven­tion was not only in sharing results, but in connecting people and topics. Members had the oppor­tu­nity to find others working on similar chal­lenges, exchange expe­ri­ences and iden­tify areas where collab­o­ra­tion can create greater impact.

The All Members Conven­tion once again showed what makes the OI4 commu­nity strong: bringing different compa­nies, roles and perspec­tives together, learning from each other and jointly moving indus­trial inter­op­er­ability from discus­sion to imple­men­ta­tion.
