*this conference will be held in English

Date: 1. September 2026
Time: 08:45 – 16:00
Venue: Odin Havnepark, Lumbyvej 17F, Odense C, Denmark

At the SESAM Conference 2026, we explore how modern data architectures can help manufacturers create connected, future-ready production environments. Through practical industry cases and technical presentations, you’ll gain insights into topics such as Unified Namespace (UNS), Sparkplug, OT/IT integration and data governance.

Hear practical insights and real-world experiences from manufacturers and technology experts, including:

Aarhus School of Marine and Technical Engineering – Why trustworthy data is the foundation for AI, and how the Sparkplug standard strengthens Unified Namespace through reliable, contextualised data.
Gaplast & i-flow – A real-world customer case on building a Unified Namespace, overcoming heterogeneous machine data, and exploring where AI can create value.
*VELUX – Five years of experience developing and scaling a Unified Namespace architecture across numerous machine units.
*ROCKWOOL Group & Transition Technologies PSC – How a schema-based, open-source data model supports consistent factory data management and OT system integration across 40 production sites
Tricloud – How to move beyond building a Unified Namespace and start creating business value, while enabling AI-driven applications on top of your factory data.

*Subject to modifications

The conference brings together manufacturers, technology providers and industry experts to share real-world experiences, lessons learned and best practices. Throughout the day, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to network, exchange ideas and discuss the challenges and opportunities of digital manufacturing.

Whether you’re just beginning your digital transformation journey or looking to take your factory data architecture to the next level, you’ll leave with practical inspiration and valuable insights you can apply in your own organisation.
