EMS-Tag 2026 to address competitiveness and AI integration in electronics manufacturing

The EMS-Tag 2026 conference will take place on October 1 in Würzburg, Germany, focusing on how small and medium-sized Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) companies can maintain competitiveness. The industry is currently facing market pressure from fluctuating demand and complex supply chains, though many companies anticipate revenue growth in 2027.

A key theme of the event is the integration of digitalization and Artificial Intelligence to optimize operations. Specifically, experts will demonstrate how AI-supported Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems can automate routine tasks such as procurement, material planning, and customer communication. Using M. Richter GmbH & Co. KG as a case study, presenters will show how software developed by Kewano GmbH can process process data to generate concrete action proposals, such as automated order suggestions based on stock levels, lead times, and packaging units.
