The Economies of Orchestration
With the proliferation of AI, machine learning, and digital tooling, the question is no longer if orchestration enters industrial production — but how to capitalize on the shift now. For 90 years, Durst has engineered precision. Today, we engineer intelligence. The agentic world is not coming — it is already running on factory floors, in production systems, in the decisions machines now make without waiting for instructions. In this keynote, Durst Group CEO Christoph Gamper sets the stakes: anyone can copy a printer, but it's hard to copy the intelligence to run it lights-out, 24/7. This session maps what it means to build a software-defined industrial tech company now when machines don’t just execute — they communicate & decide.
