LeanAroundTheClock (LATC) is an exceptional lean event in Mannheim, Germany. Presentations and discussions will take place over two days without a break and almost around the clock. oee.ai was represented this year with a presentation and an exhibition stand. And to get straight to the point: We're looking forward to next year!
LeanAroundTheClock Talks
The lectures of LATC2018 were on stage by Janine Kreienbrink, known for her format #JanineFragtNach on the Lean Knowledge Base, moderated. The topics were varied: Scrum, Kaizen, Agile, New Work, Lean Production, Lean Administration, Change Processes,... — Lean was thus widely interpreted and offered a stage for a colorful bouquet of inspiration. All presentations were streamed live on the Internet, so that even people who had not received any of the 500 tickets had the opportunity to attend.
The presentation on oee.ai and a subsequent discussion were on the agenda at the end of the first day and can be viewed here on SlideShare:
The presentation is also available on YouTube:
LeanAroundTheClock exhibition
In addition to the presentations, the Maimarkt venue offered the opportunity for a trade fair. 25 exhibitors were represented, including consulting firms and other technical solution providers as well as oee.ai — with a redesigned exhibition stand.
The exhibitors' stands were close to the conference area, so that there was a constant flow of people at the exhibition stands.
Many interesting discussions were held with visitors to the event. 58% of the participants came from industry. As a result, the discussions focused on the possible uses of the technology in visitors' respective factories or even the opportunity to modify the technology for similar applications — our tech department will enjoy the new tasks.
It will take the organization some time to process the various inquiries.
In addition to inspiration and new approaches to lean, LATC therefore also offered the ideal platform to expand your own network and at the same time set individual accents in the lean environment.
“The event was a great success for us. Our product should make it easy for companies to optimize their productivity with Industry 4.0 technology without first investing long and large amounts in infrastructure. Companies like this approach. This was once again clearly confirmed at LATC,” says Prof. Dr. Markus Focke, managing director of ifp Software GmbH — the company behind oee.ai.
LATC 2018 Conclusion and Outlook
The LATC format is an impressive event. For 2 days, 500 people are motivated to learn new things about Lean in a broad definition around the clock. oee.ai will also take part in LATC2019 and we can only recommend that any Lean freak take part in the event.
