Among them are representatives of Indusoft-Ukraine, Kaeser Kompressoren, Schneider Electric Ukraine, Intel, Siemens Ukraine, Festo, IT-Enterprise, Dnepr Development Agency, ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, Metinvest, APPAU and Interpipe.

Denis Morozov, Director of Finance and Economics, Interpipe:

- We live and work in an era of digital transformation, dynamic market changes, and growth in data flow. Interpipe was one of the first industrial companies to introduce an electronic tender procurement system, which became the prototype of the ProZorro site. We were one of the first to implement a corporate business management system (ERP), which covers the main business processes: finance, accounting, personnel, procurement, orders, production and repairs. The second stage was the introduction of an automated production traceability system: from the movement of raw materials and semi-finished products to the shipment of finished products to customers. The first digital transformation projects have already been implemented in the shops of Interpipe.

Alexander Yurchak, CEO of APPAU:

- Digitalization today is one of the key factors in the growth of the competitiveness of industrial companies in the world market. Technologies 4.0 will optimize the use of enterprise resources, manage business processes in real time and increase their efficiency. Technological changes have already begun in the Ukrainian metallurgy. There are successful cases from ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih and Interpipe. Our goal is to make one-off experience massive, build new standards in the industry, offer advanced R&D solutions, and build industrial high-tech. Such an ambitious task can only be realized through constant dialogue between industrial companies, developers and integrators of 4.0 technologies, and this dialogue began today.
