Digital transformation is a reality. How we communicate, our traffic systems, our leisure activities: The pace of change is rapid - also in industrial automation.

The Forum is a platform for you. It brings together users and experts from industrial practice with researchers and safety visioners. Focus talks of invited speakers will foster our discussion for innovation beyond the well-known.  

In 2022 we started with this Forum as the successor of the Forum Functional Safety@SICK. After the successful and interesting start, the next Forum will again take place on December 4, 2024 at the SICK SIA Campus in Waldkirch-Buchholz or virtually. Also this year we will have exciting presentations and we want to discuss opportunities and challenges and emerging topics within industrial automation and safety.

This year, Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Mario Trapp, executive director at Fraunhofer IKS, will be hosting and moderating the event.
