Rethinking value chain – with digital excellence in discrete manufacturing and the process industry.

The factory of the future will not emerge in a vacuum. It will emerge where process manufacturing or discrete manufacturing meets integrated end-to-end processes. This is precisely where cbs comes in. As a sub-exhibitor at the SAP stand, we will be demonstrating in 2026 how sustainable value creation, digital excellence and modern production technology interact in practice.

In 2026, there will be a special focus on the process industry and pharmaceuticals. We will show how companies can reliably meet regulatory requirements, digitise their production processes and achieve true shop floor excellence with SAP Digital Manufacturing, EWM, PM and intelligent services.

Visit us at the SAP stand and experience practical use cases, measurable added value and concrete paths to modern, integrated production.

SCM Transformation as a Strategic Level

Driving Resilience, Speed & Business Value with SAP

Location: Hall 27, Booth D24

Date & Time: Monday, 20 April 2026, 3:10 to 15:50 pm German time.

Supply chain disruption is no longer a risk; it’s a constant.
The real question is: Is your organisation built to respond in real time, or still reacting too late?

In today’s environment, incremental improvements are no longer enough. Leading organisations are rethinking the supply chain as a strategic capability rather than just an operational function.

This CIO session, presented by Martin Haury, Global Head of IT, explores how ifm electronic gmbh is moving from fragmented processes to fully orchestrated, end-to-end supply chains, built on a clean digital core with SAP S/4HANA.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Establish a single source of truth across planning, manufacturing, logistics, and trade
  • Enable real-time visibility and faster decision-making across the value chain
  • Integrate advanced capabilities such as Digital Manufacturing (DM) and Global Trade Services (GTS)
  • Turn supply chain transformation into measurable business value and not just IT change

This is not about a one-time project for ifm electronic gmbh.
It’s about defining their 5-year transformation journey and knowing where to start to create immediate impact.

Join this exclusive CIO discussion to explore how leading organisations, such as ifm electronic gmbh, are turning supply chain transformation into a competitive advantage.

We look forward to seeing you!
