Leaders Of The Innovation Sector Will Appear In Poznań

CIO Review

The condition of the Polish industry positively surprises economists. This sector is extremely resistant to the crisis related to the current global situation. The mood of the industrial sector is also visible in the preparations for the ITM INDUSTRY EUROPE fair. Several hundred exhibitors have already confirmed their presence. The event will be an opportunity to establish direct relationships with market leaders.

Recent months have shown that virtual events cannot replace the energy of ‘live’ meetings. This is confirmed by exhibitors who enthusiastically plan their activity at this year’s fair. There will be demonstrations, presentations of technologies and products, and a wide range of market novelties.

Professionals visiting the fair follow with interest the list of exhibitors whose stands will be open from 31 May to 3 June 2022 in Poznań. The proof of the strength of the ITM INDUSTRY EUROPE brand is the range of key companies in the innovation sector. This year’s edition has already been joined by: DMG MORI POLSKA, GF MACHINING SOLUTIONS,YAMAZAKI MAZAK CENTRAL EUROPE, DEMATEC, HIGH TECHNOLOGY MACHINES, MACHINE TOOLS INTERNATIONAL, SCHUNK INTEC, TRUMPF POLSKA, AMADA, KIMLA, DIG ŚWITAŁA, POL-SVER, BOSCHERT POLSKA, ADIGE, SIEMENS, KUKA CEE, FANUC POLSKA, YASKAWA POLSKA, ASTOR, MITUTOYO POLSKA, CARL ZEISS.

The second edition of the Industry Next Congress

A year of challenges for the Polish industry − this is the slogan of this year’s edition of the Industry Next Congress, the first edition of which in 2021 turned out to be a great success.

- Market analysts note the surprisingly strong results of the Polish industry. Despite the unstable political situation in the world, the Polish industry is doing well and is definitely recovering from the pandemic drop. However, there are also other circumstances that have a significant impact on the manufacturing industry. We want the programme of the Congress to be up-to-date and helpful, to allow us to react as soon as possible to the changes taking place ‘here and now’. We are observing the turmoil in the raw materials market, we are seeing the relocation of companies in the East. Therefore, Congress will support the industry. Decision-makers and experts will introduce participants to the mechanisms that allow the Polish industry not only to survive the uncertain time, but even to come out of it unscathed − says Anna Lemańska-Kramer, director of ITM INDUSTRY EUROPE.

This year, the Congress will be a platform for discussing the challenges faced by companies operating in the industrial processing industries in the context of perturbations on the raw materials market. Decision-makers, representatives of development institutions and market experts will also take up the topic of the relocation of European industry and the related opportunities for Polish companies, as well as new export directions in the context of sanctions and the geopolitical situation in Europe.

The congress will run from 31 May to 1 June. On the first day, there will be discussion panels, the second will be an opportunity to take part in practical INDUSTRY NEXT workshops, which will show the possibilities of using the latest technologies in companies from the industrial sector. The workshop programme is created with the support of strategic partners: Poznań Science and Technology Park and Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Centre under a common ‘banner’: EDIH HPC4Poland − DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF INDUSTRY. Experts will present tools and examples of implementations of ‘digital twins’ in the automotive and machine production industries. Participants will have the opportunity to expand their knowledge and competences as well as learn about practical solutions in the field of artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and technologies supporting digitisation of industry along with the possibilities of financing digital transformation.

Krakow Technology Park hosts the startup zone

During ITM INDUSTRY EUROPE, KPT ScaleUP, the leading Polish accelerator of Industry 4.0, will organize a zone for technological startups. This is an opportunity to see the most interesting industrial innovations.

The purpose of the KPT ScaleUP accelerator is to arrange cooperation between technological startups and large industrial companies. The end result of such cooperation is the introduction to the market and dissemination of innovative solutions developed by young companies. Thanks to the accelerator’s activity, startups that are not very recognisable and are just starting their business activity gain an invaluable opportunity to cooperate directly with the giants of the Polish industry.

KPT ScaleUP has earned the title of the largest Polish industrial accelerator. So far, 85 startups have supported them, enabling them to cooperate with 25 companies (including Grupa Azoty, Grupa TAURON, PGNiG, Solaris Bus & Coach, Maspex, Warbud, Woodward) and leading to over 30 commercial implementations. The group of accelerator graduates includes startups such as Airly, Sense Monitoring, Proxy Group, 1000 realities or nsFlow.

This year, the guests of the ITM INDUSTRY EUROPE fair in Poznań will be able to see the effectiveness of KPT ScaleUP activities in the area of modernising the Polish economy. - In our zone, we will show the most interesting solutions from the last editions of the programme. Startups will not only present their offer, but also talk about the acceleration process and share their impressions of validating and implementing their products in large enterprises − says Angelika Popławska, KPT ScaleUP Project Manager. − This is the best opportunity to get to know the acceleration mechanism in practice, and to get first-hand information about solutions that have considerable potential to accelerate the development of Industry 4.0 in Poland, such as the use of a digital twin to simulate emergency situations or the use of robots for inspection ofinaccessible places− convinces the representative of KPT ScaleUP.

An important event during the fair will also be the presentation of startups in front of the audience, during which their representatives will talk about the effects of acceleration and the benefits of implementing technologies for recipients of the technology. In their short, dynamic presentations, they will present the details of both the technology used and the cooperation with a large industrial company. DemoDays will be held in hall 3 on the Industry Trends Stage.

− From the very beginning, the leading solutions that were developed by startups with Industry 4.0 in mind were those related to production, logistics, warehousing, employee safety and business processes. They are created primarily on the basis of technologies such as IIoT, VR, AR, artificial intelligence or big data. We are looking for solutions in the field of robotisation and automation, as well as other solutions that help in the digitisation of business processes − adds Angelika Popławska.

KPT ScaleUP Accelerator operates as part of the Krakow Technology Park, which has been co-creating conditions for the development of entrepreneurship for 25 years and has been running a Technology Incubator for start-up IT companies for a decade. It supports and inspires the startup community by organising events that help verify business ideas: workshops, hackathons and conferences. It implements the KPT ScaleUP acceleration programme. Companies can count on support from seed funds, tax exemptions under the Polish Investment Zone programme and preferential conditions for renting office space. Industry 4.0 and the games industry occupy a special place in the KTP. It is the leader of the hub4industry consortium providing comprehensive support for companies wishing to introduce Industry 4.0 solutions. KPT also cooperates with the international EIT Digital which aims to support digital transformation in Europe.

Industry in space and the Drone Power hackathon

According to the data of the Polish Space Agency, the space market is made up of approx. 400 companies and scientific institutions that employ approx. 12 thousand people. It is still a sector with great potential. According to experts, the space industry cannot function without traditional industry. Components for devices used in space exploration can be provided by a company dealing in material processing, additive technologies, the production of electronic wafers or software development.

− Observing these trends, we decided to organise during the fair a panel on space technologies and their transfer to the non-space sector, including industry. Together with the organiser of the panel, the Space Industry Employers’ Association, we will show entrepreneurs the opportunities and possibilities of operating in this area − reveals Anna Lemańska-Kramer.

The novelty of this year’s edition of ITM INDUSTRY EUROPE will be the Drone Power + hackathon, which allows you to discover talents and technologies for a safe infrastructure, crucial for the proper functioning of the state. The project is carried out by the Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Centre, Enea and the ITM INDUSTRY EUROPE fair. The teams were faced with classic, robotic and conceptual challenges. They have one thing in common: creating an algorithm, technology or solution ensuring uninterrupted and safe operation of the infrastructure. This unique brainstorming session will last two days (2 and 3 June), details are available at drone.power.pl.

The ITM INDUSTRY EUROPE Fair will be held from 31 May to 3 June 2022 on the fairgrounds of MTP Poznań Expo. Visitors will have an opportunity to visit at the same time the exhibition of the Modernlog Trade Fair of Logistics, Transport and Storage, the Subcontracting Industrial Cooperation Fair and the Focast Foundry Forum.

A software engineering and AI analytics purchase can fail long before model accuracy becomes a concern. The bigger challenge is often the handoff between existing infrastructure and new analytics, especially when camera networks and edge devices were never designed to share context. Replacing everything may simplify architecture on paper, but it can strain capital requirements and stretch deployment timelines. Buyers need to know whether a platform can work across existing technology boundaries without turning modernization into a wholesale infrastructure project.  Integration depth is therefore more revealing than the number of AI features on a product sheet. A useful platform should accept heterogeneous inputs and expose their data through a common control layer without forcing every piece of existing hardware to conform to one technical standard. It should also preserve the usefulness of legacy assets while making their information accessible to newer analytics. That matters in distributed environments where hardware replacement may be slow or economically unjustified. The real question is whether modernization can proceed around installed infrastructure rather than requiring a clean slate.  Real-time analytics creates an attention problem of its own. Video feeds and sensor events can overwhelm staff when every detection is treated as equally important. Buyers should examine how a platform separates routine activity from events that merit human review, and then look at how quickly those events reach the people responsible for validation. The difference between raw monitoring and useful analytics lies in this filtering step. A system that produces more alerts without improving prioritization merely transfers workload from observation to triage.  Architecture becomes more consequential as data volumes rise. Sending every high-definition stream to a centralized cloud environment can create avoidable bandwidth costs and response delays. Edge processing can reduce that burden when analytics are performed close to the source and only selected information moves upstream. Yet edge deployment introduces management demands. Devices and application services still need a coherent way to exchange information and support later investigation. Buyers should also examine how much infrastructure complexity is added when analytics move closer to the source.  “ CFBD ’s hybrid architecture connects legacy environments to newer computing infrastructure through hyperconvergence and virtualization.” Searchability deserves equal importance. Once video or sensor data has been transformed into structured metadata, teams should be able to move from live detection to later investigation without manually reviewing hours of footage. Useful systems retain descriptive attributes and behavioral context in forms that can be queried quickly. The buying question is whether that context survives across live monitoring and retrospective analysis rather than being trapped in separate workflows. Fast retrieval matters because delayed investigation can erase much of the advantage gained from real-time detection.  CFBD merits consideration for buyers facing this mix of integration pressure and analytics workload. Its AZOR Ecosystem, a real-time data orchestration platform, centralizes video and sensor information. AZOR Panel, a centralized monitoring interface, receives AI-filtered events for human validation. AZOR Analytics, a video analytics component, supports real-time and forensic analysis, while edge gateways can process video near the source and pass lighter event data upstream. Its hybrid architecture connects legacy environments to newer computing infrastructure through hyperconvergence and virtualization. The fit is strongest where replacement costs and operator overload are material constraints. For organizations that need AI analytics without discarding usable infrastructure, CFBD is a practical choice.  ...Read more
Customer outreach is moving faster than many compliance programs were designed to govern. A campaign assembled in hours can pass through several applications before a call, text, email or prerecorded message reaches a customer, while autonomous agents compress that cycle further. The exposure is no longer limited to whether a record appeared on a suppression list. Consent status, channel permissions, time-of-day rules and state or federal restrictions can change the answer at the moment of contact. A platform that checks too late leaves legal teams reconstructing decisions after the communication has already occurred. Static controls also create a quieter commercial problem. Large enterprises often carry separate customer records across business units, and a broad opt-out can be applied far beyond the product or channel the customer intended. Conservative suppression may reduce legal exposure, yet it can also remove legitimate audiences from campaigns and weaken the return on CRM or marketing technology investments. Effective governance needs enough context to distinguish a prohibited contact from an allowable one without forcing every business unit to maintain its own interpretation of the rules. The harder test is whether those distinctions survive as consent records move between systems and outreach programs change. “Gryphon’s deterministic rules-based decisioning evaluates contact permissions in real time, while automated evidence capture gives legal and compliance teams a defensible record of why each decision was made.” Speed matters at the decision point, not merely during campaign preparation. List scrubbing and periodic audits remain useful for certain tasks, but neither is designed to govern communications that originate across contact centers, individual employees, enterprise applications and autonomous agents. Decisioning should sit inside the existing workflow and evaluate the applicable permissions before outreach proceeds. The answer also needs to return quickly enough that compliance does not become a queue. Enterprise scale is equally important. A control layer that works only for one channel or one application recreates the same fragmentation it was purchased to remove. Policy changes also need to propagate without campaign teams waiting for separate rule updates in each downstream application, especially when restrictions take effect quickly. Defensibility separates governance from simple blocking. Executives should expect a clear record of the rule applied, the evidence used, the policy version and the reason a communication was allowed or stopped. Those records need to remain searchable as regulations and internal policies change. Deterministic decisioning has particular value where an organization must later explain exactly why a contact was permitted. The same discipline helps compliance teams identify oversuppression rather than treating every uncertain record as unusable. Buyers should also examine how readily the platform connects to existing CRM, contact-center, marketing automation and governance systems, since a long replacement project can undermine the speed advantage that real-time controls are meant to provide. Gryphon  is the premier choice for enterprises that need contact governance embedded directly into customer engagement rather than added as a later review. Its platform applies real-time controls across voice, SMS, email and interactions generated by AI agents while integrating with existing enterprise applications. Gryphon’s deterministic rules-based decisioning evaluates contact permissions in real time, while automated evidence capture gives legal and compliance teams a defensible record of why each decision was made. Compliance Hub extends that visibility into audit research and reporting. The platform also identifies contacts suppressed too broadly, helping organizations preserve legitimate reach without relaxing policy enforcement. For buyers balancing regulatory exposure against legitimate customer contact, point-of-contact enforcement paired with documented decision logic makes Gryphon a practical recommendation. ...Read more
Disconnected data work rarely begins at the pipeline itself. The delay often appears earlier, when a proposed data product moves from a business idea into requirements, architecture decisions, access controls and a development environment. Each handoff can introduce another tool or approval path, while product context becomes harder to preserve. By the time engineering begins, teams may already be reconciling mismatched project names, duplicated documentation, fragmented ownership and inconsistent setup across systems. Portfolio-level visibility also matters before engineering starts. A platform that preserves business cases alongside product definitions can help leadership compare proposed work, assign teams and select technology stacks without separating prioritization from the delivery path that eventually executes those decisions. That fragmentation becomes expensive when orchestration is purchased as another isolated layer. Data teams commonly work across cloud infrastructure, code repositories, ticketing systems and specialist data platforms, while product managers and architects need continuity across the same work. Replacing that estate is rarely the practical objective. A stronger platform coordinates existing environments while preserving product identity and approved technology choices throughout delivery. Integration depth matters less as a feature count than as a way to remove repeated setup and cross-tool reconciliation. “Calibo can establish access to selected technology stacks and generate CI/CD pathways for controlled movement between development and production environments.” Self-service also needs boundaries. Provisioning development environments, granting access, creating repositories and triggering infrastructure changes can remove substantial waiting time, but only when those actions follow established controls. The useful distinction is whether routine requests can execute from approved templates and policies rather than pass through manual service tickets. That changes the role of platform and architecture teams. Instead of completing repetitive setup on demand, they can establish guardrails that engineering teams use independently. Traceability becomes harder once a project leaves experimentation and enters controlled delivery. Changes to requirements can alter pipeline work, while release movement creates dependencies across development, test, staging and production. Executives need a clear line from the original business case to the technical work that follows, particularly when multiple data products compete for budget or shared engineering capacity. Visibility into status, resource use, dependencies and release progress helps management identify where work is waiting without rebuilding the picture from separate tools. It can also expose queueing between teams before delayed approvals become late-stage release problems. Release control should be treated as part of orchestration rather than an adjacent DevOps concern. Creating a pipeline is only part of the purchase decision. The harder question is whether code and data products can move through governed environments without custom coordination each time. Automated CI/CD setup, reusable templates, policy-based promotion and dependency visibility can make that movement repeatable. This becomes more important for AI-related data work, where experiments can appear quickly but production use depends on controlled access, governed data movement, documented lineage and consistent release practices. Calibo merits recommendation for enterprises that want data orchestration tied directly to the broader delivery lifecycle. Its Data Fabric Studio supports reusable data pipelines. The wider platform carries product context into the development toolchain while automating environment setup. Calibo can establish access to selected technology stacks and generate CI/CD pathways for controlled movement between development and production environments. Its Release Orchestration capability extends that model into deployment governance and dependency management. This gives data teams a self-service framework that reduces manual handoffs while keeping technical work connected to the product context and enterprise controls that initiated it. ...Read more
As software development becomes more reliant on AI, companies have started to focus more on the process of coding, changing, and attributing. Code attribution systems for AI are becoming common for helping engineering professionals know the source of code, differentiate human contributions from that done by AI, and remain visible in the development environment. Their importance goes beyond that of mere tracking since attribution can affect intellectual property management, security assessments, compliance procedures, and engineering performance. However, the implementation of these platforms poses some problems that organizations need to solve before they can effectively use attribution. How Can Organizations Maintain Accurate Code Attribution? An important issue here is the question of establishing accurate attribution in a complicated process of software development. Nowadays, software development includes many repositories, development environments, libraries, automated systems, and cooperation models. The suggestions generated by the artificial intelligence can be accepted, modified, mixed with the existing code, or completely rewritten by the developer. As a result, it becomes difficult to distinguish what part was done with the help of AI and what was developed independently by humans. Data quality also poses a challenge. Attributing authorship requires the availability of development history, history of code changes, prompts, suggestions, and modification patterns. Poor data quality can lead to erroneous findings, especially where organizations employ different methods for software development or use a different set of tools for development. It is imperative for businesses to come up with data standards for the consistency of findings. Issues related to privacy and intellectual property rights make the scenario even more complicated. The source code may include business logic, proprietary processes, and customer data. Companies that choose to implement the attribution platforms need to pay special attention to the way the development data will be gathered, analyzed, stored, and made available. What Makes AI Attribution Difficult Across Enterprise Development? The other challenge is that of incorporating the attribution process into the current engineering process. Companies typically have heterogeneous technology stacks and development processes. This implies that any attribution solution has to be compatible with the source code repositories, issue tracking platforms, code reviews, security mechanisms and so forth. If not, fragmentation and extra manual processes arise. Interpretation is just as crucial. Metrics related to attribution should not be automatically assumed to reflect developer productivity or the quality of code written. While AI can alter how engineers spend their time, more generated code does not imply a better result. Business context regarding maintainability, reliability, reviews, security, and business needs should also be factored in, along with attribution. Attributing AI code is going to be contingent upon transparency, interoperability, and good governance. Enterprises are going to require established processes for attributing contributions made by AI and also explaining how the information is to be utilized. Software systems capable of creating traceable evidence, easy integration, and clear reporting can enable enterprises to create more trust when it comes to AI-enabled development efforts. Taking a good approach towards these considerations will enable enterprises to get visibility regarding the use of AI in coding without having to risk their intellectual property rights and engineering accountability. ...Read more
