Markt&Technik DC Conference
2024-10-23 | Holiday Inn City Centre Munich, Hochstrasse 3, Munich, 81669
Direct current grids for industry

DC grids offer many advantages over AC and three-phase grids, especially in production, but also in buildings. These advantages – around 50 percent lower energy costs in energy distribution in the factory and 50 percent less copper – can now be realized, not least due to advances in power electronics.
Although the technology is largely available, the topic is new to everyone involved. For this reason, many questions still arise for those who want to introduce DC grids in their companies, from the basic technology to questions relating to planning and installation through to issues concerning standardization and regulations.
At the Markt&Technik DC Conference, which will be held with the support of the Open Direct Current Alliance (ODCA) on October 23, 2024 at the Holliday Inn Munich, speakers from the field will answer these questions in their presentations. In the accompanying trade exhibition, manufacturers will present the components that are already available for setting up DC grids.
At the conference on “DC grids for industry”, decision-makers and practitioners planning DC grids will learn everything they need to know in order to implement them in their production environments.

Avoiding high stock levels, excess stock and their legal protection
2025-05-19 15:00 - 16:30 | Webinar
The last few years have been economically characterized by great instability in supply chains, which has had a particular impact on companies. In order to safeguard their economic stability, ability to act and competitiveness in the supply chain and their position on the market, many companies stockpiled large quantities of purchased or self-manufactured products. In doing so, they are usually guided by demand forecasts provided by contractual partners, but also by specific demand on the market. Such inventories generally serve to ensure that companies can meet their own contractual obligations, but also provide them with the security of being able to react quickly to requests from new customers or deviating requests from existing customers.
However, the supply chains in the electronics industry are very fragile and highly complex. After all, what happens if the customer no longer needs the raw material, components or assembly that was once ordered and refuses to accept it temporarily or permanently?
Webinar objective:
In this webinar, we want to take a closer look at this topic, point out any pitfalls and provide you with solutions on how you can create legal certainty when procuring materials and legally secure acceptance vis-à-vis customers.
Using concrete and comprehensible practical examples, you will learn how you can draft your contracts, order documents and general terms and conditions strategically and in line with your interests and how you can recognize, assess and minimize any contractual risks and dangers.
Methodology:
The content of the webinar series is presented on the basis of practical cases in such a way that it is easy to understand, especially for non-lawyers. There will be an opportunity to ask individual questions at the end of the webinar.

Non-availability of components and their legal protection
2025-07-14 15:00 - 16:30 | Webinar
The key to product longevity lies not only in highly sophisticated development and flawless production, but also in the availability of components and spare parts. Companies that launch a product onto the market, develop it on behalf of a customer or as an in-house product and then manufacture it, need to be certain of the availability of relevant components or raw materials over the entire defined life cycle.
The incipient or actual unavailability of materials and components in the supply chain, particularly due to changes in legal requirements such as the REACH, RoHS or POP regulations and the associated legal problems, pose devastating problems for companies in every industry. After all, what happens if a specific material or component is no longer available due to discontinuation, changes to technical specifications or legal changes?
Webinar objectives:
The above example shows that the supply chain is subject to great uncertainty, but requires mandatory protection.
In this webinar, we will show you how you can best protect yourself legally in the event of unavailability, what measures you can and should take throughout the supply chain and what is essential to consider when drafting contracts. With the help of concrete and comprehensible practical examples, we will show you how you can optimally draft your contracts and general terms and conditions and how you can identify, assess and minimize contractual risks and dangers.

AI Solution Days
2025-09-16 | Hotel NH Collection Nuremberg City, Bahnhofstrasse 17-19, Nuremberg, 90402, Germany
Artificial intelligence for embedded applications in industry
Thanks to groundbreaking developments such as ChatGPT and other large language models, artificial intelligence (AI) is currently on everyone’s lips. However, AI is by no means always spectacular and sensational, but is first and foremost a tool that does its work in the background, for example as embedded AI and in industrial automation. But what can embedded AI and Tiny Machine Learning models do in various industrial applications, and how can they be implemented, tested, updated and, if necessary, scaled? How should developers go about this and what software tools are available to them? What influence do safety and security have? It is also interesting to find out which applications have already proven themselves in industrial automation – and which successful use cases exist.
Most industrial companies are faced with the decision to use AI for the first time or to further expand its use – and are therefore faced with these and similar questions. The second “Electronics AI Solution Days” aims to answer precisely these questions. Leading AI experts will impart the knowledge required to understand, develop, implement and maintain complex embedded AI applications. They provide a wide range of assistance and report on specific use cases in the industry. In this way, developer knowledge can be acquired and project expertise built up for the next AI project.

Contract management systems as an important tool for minimizing risk
2025-09-22 15:00 - 16:30 | Webinar
The importance of contracts in companies is often underestimated or there are not enough resources to comprehensively take care of the review, negotiation and monitoring of contracts. In addition, many companies do not have their own legal department that can provide specialist support. Contracts and contract information are also often stored decentrally and are therefore not reliably available to every specialist department.
Contracts are playing an increasingly important role for companies of all sizes and in all sectors, especially in these very difficult economic times. However, sample contracts found on the Internet are often used instead and contracts are negotiated and concluded without any knowledge of the legal risks and obligations of the entire supply chain. Many companies think that this is all they need to do. However, this misconception can lead to major risks for a company.
These risks can be avoided as cost-effectively as possible with a contract management system. It is irrelevant whether it is a professionally set up system from a provider of contract management systems or an individual system set up by the company’s own IT department with little effort and cost.
Webinar objective:
In this webinar, we will show you how you can use an internal contract management system to identify and minimize potential risks and ensure that contracts comply with applicable laws and regulations. You will learn how you can use an effective contract management system to ensure that all industry-specific requirements are met, that there are no liability gaps in the supply chain and that all key contract key points such as contract terms, liability, warranty, price adjustment options, etc. are reliably available.
Based on practical experience reports and specific examples, you will be shown why you should urgently introduce a contract management system in your company, what added value it offers for you and the entire supply chain and how you can establish it in your company without great effort, increasing efficiency and minimizing risk.
Methodology:
The content of this webinar is presented on the basis of practical cases in such a way that they are understandable, especially for non-lawyers. There will be an opportunity to ask individual questions at the end of the webinar.
