Open standards as the basis for digital business models
This year, the Annual General Meeting focuses on the potential of plant data, especially in existing plants. Open standards such as the Asset Administration Shell are a prerequisite: only when device and plant data are described uniformly, independent of the manufacturer, can they be reused without individual interfaces.
As a company of the Pepperl+Fuchs Group, we support this year’s sponsor on this topic with our experience from AAS projects in industry.
From Smart Shop Floors to Digital Business Models
The keynote shows how connected, data-driven plants create real competitive advantage and new digital business models, and why seamless field integration is the foundation for it.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does Neoception speak at the NAMUR Annual General Meeting 2026?
On 5 November 2026: in the Pepperl+Fuchs sponsor keynote with Dr. Jörg Nagel, and at 17:30 in the workshop “Data as a Strategic Asset” with Andreas Wick and Benedikt Rauscher.
Can I attend without registration?
No. The NAMUR Annual General Meeting is a congress for NAMUR members and guests with a participation fee. We are happy to talk with you outside the event as well.
What does the Asset Administration Shell offer the process industry?
Process plants consist of many devices from different manufacturers. The Asset Administration Shell describes these devices in one uniform, open format. Their data becomes usable in engineering, operation and maintenance without individual interfaces, in existing plants too.
More from practice
Digital twins rarely emerge on the drawing board. They emerge in concrete projects. More examples of how industrial companies turn their existing product data into standardised digital twins.
