Industry 4.0 and IIoT are bringing substantial changes to how manufacturing companies run their operations. Previously relying on the sale of products, companies such as Kaeser Compressors are seeing the benefit of turning a one-time product purchase into a recurring revenue stream. Kaeser Compressors offers customers their compressors-as-a-service through their Sigma Air Utility, charging for CFM (cubic feet per minute) usage rather than for the equipment itself; a shift that benefits both the manufacturer (with recurring revenue) and the customer (replacing an often difficult to obtain capital expenditure with an operational one).

Moderated by Henrik Hulgaard, CTO of Configit, this session invites you to share your experience of how this trend is affecting your industry today, as well as your vision on how it will affect it in the future.
