The Digital Product Passport is a new element of manufacturing operations; it will serve as a mandatory component for individual products, providing comprehensive, online-accessible information based on data gathered throughout the product's entire lifecycle. EU regulations — followed by national legislation—mandate the use of the Digital Product Passport, starting with batteries from February 18, 2027. Subsequent product groups subject to this requirement will be introduced gradually and include, among others: tires, steel, aluminum, textiles, electrical and electronic equipment, construction materials, and toys. 

The imminent implementation of the Digital Product Passport necessitates urgent preparatory action by enterprises. 

The conference aims to raise awareness of this topic, outline the regulatory framework, showcase implementation best practices from other countries, explain the operational context, and provide guidance on effectively integrating this component into daily business practice. 

The Digital Product Passport represents not only a regulatory obligation but also an opportunity to enhance product value - an aspect that will also be highlighted during the conference.

Solutions Driving Industry – Technologies Transforming Production

How can you effectively leverage artificial intelligence, robotics, and digital technologies to increase production efficiency and build a competitive advantage? Answers to these questions will be the central theme of the conference, which will take place during Warsaw Industry Week 2026. The event will bring together experts, industry representatives, and suppliers of modern technologies, presenting solutions that are already being used in modern production plants.

The focus will be on practical implementations, case studies, and proven solutions supporting the digital transformation of enterprises. Participants will be able to explore the latest possibilities of using AI in production data analysis, robotics and process automation, integration of production and business systems, digitization of production, 3D technology, and modern production management methods. Experts will demonstrate how carefully selected technologies translate into increased productivity, improved quality, better data utilization, and more efficient process management within the enterprise.

The conference will also provide an opportunity to discuss the competencies of the future and the changing role of humans in an increasingly automated production environment. This is a proposal for business owners, management staff, production directors, engineers and anyone who wants to learn about the practical experiences of companies, draw inspiration from market leaders and learn how to effectively implement innovations in industry.

Industrial Operational Resilience: From Security to Business Continuity.

For years, the primary question in the industrial sector was: how can we produce faster and more efficiently? 

Today, a different question is increasingly coming to the fore: how can we maintain uninterrupted production—despite mounting threats, changes, and unforeseen events?

A modern factory must be more than just fast and efficient; it must be resilient.Polish industry is facing a new wave of transformation. Investments in automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, and digitalization are coinciding with the introduction of new regulations, such as NIS2 and the Cyber ​​Resilience Act. At the same time, enterprises must contend with cyber threats, the risk of downtime, the growing complexity of production environments, and the pressure to ensure business continuity.

None of these challenges can be solved by a single technology or a single vendor. Industrial operational resilience emerges at the intersection of diverse competencies: automation, robotics, IT and OT systems, cybersecurity, and engineering expertise. System integrators play a pivotal role in this process by combining solutions from various manufacturers into a cohesive, secure, and reliable production environment. They are the ones who translate technological potential into tangible business outcomes: enhanced security, reduced downtime, and greater production flexibility and stability.The Polish Automation and Robotics Forum conference will demonstrate how to build operational resilience in enterprises in practice. The starting point will be the real-world challenges manufacturing plants face daily, while the core of the program will feature case studies presented jointly by technology manufacturers, system integrators, and industrial enterprises. It is precisely the collaboration between these sectors that enables the creation of solutions that not only address today’s challenges but also prepare organizations for future ones.

 Participants will explore practical implementation examples, key regulatory requirements, and solutions designed to enhance the safety, reliability, and continuity of production processes.

The conference will demonstrate that operational resilience is no longer merely an aspect of risk management; it is a fundamental operational imperative.

The forum was created for entrepreneurs, including SMEs, who are grappling with new market and regulatory requirements. Two days of discussions focused on reporting obligations, the EmpCo anti-greenwashing directive, settlement of KPO funds, and the pressures large supply chains exert on smaller contractors. The forum operates as an open stage integrated with the exhibition halls, allowing participants to proceed directly to the exhibition space and engage with exhibitors after the meeting.
