Digital Industry 2026
On May 29, 2026, the Y-PARC technology park in Yverdon-les-Bains will host a new edition of the Digital Industry event, with the aim of supporting the transformation of industrial companies by bringing together experts, academics, and businesses to discuss the challenges facing the digital industry.
From Data to Action: Toward a More Agile and High-Performance Industry
At the heart of the 2026 edition, the theme “The Smart Factory: From Actionable Data to Rapid Action” will focus on a key challenge for industrial companies: effectively leveraging data to manage operations, improve responsiveness, and enhance day-to-day performance.
The event features a series of presentations and discussions with experts in automation, manufacturing, and digital technologies. As in previous editions, the discussions will cover topics such as the integration of artificial intelligence into industrial processes, collaborative robotics, the optimization of production lines, and industrial cybersecurity, which has become a critical issue in light of the growing digitization of systems. Highlights will include, among others, presentations such as:
- IoT Platform: Efficient Data Collection and Processing with Antoine Lorotte (FiveCo & THEye)
- Machine Data to Action with Marco Aloe (DGTIS) & Juan Romar (Recomatic)
- Boosting Energy Efficiency Through Data with Vatché Garibian and Ewen Nedelec (Wise4Futur) & Jérémy Romier (Vaucher Manufacture)
- GreenTrack 4.0: Automation of Lettuce Greenhouses Using a Digital Twin and AI Optimization with François Birling (HEIG-VD)
By bringing together academic experts, industry leaders, and innovation stakeholders, Digital Industry fosters the sharing of practical insights and the identification of actionable solutions. For SMEs in French-speaking Switzerland, this event represents a strategic opportunity: to understand how to turn data into a driver of performance, discover technologies that can be implemented immediately, and network with potential partners within a recognized ecosystem.
