What’s Really Happening in Manufacturing Companies?

Welcome to the latest edition of Better News!

Everyone talks about digitalization, and everything looks great in presentations. However, what actually happens when it’s time to implement it on the factory floor? In reality, the process often looks quite different.

At Better Future Con, we’ll explore real stories from our customers – Tenneco, FIA ProTeam, Marlenka, and others. Together with Jan Burian, who will moderate the discussion, we’ll hear from Patrik Jaroš of Better Industry, as well as representatives of selected manufacturing companies and partners.

First of all, we’ll look at each company’s starting point and what motivated it to pursue digitalization. We’ll also examine whether each company had a clear strategy from the start. In other words, we want to understand what drove these companies to take action.

Next, we’ll explore the entire journey, from choosing the right partner to implementing digital solutions. More importantly, we’ll look at what digitalization has actually delivered. In addition, we’ll discuss how companies use these solutions today. Furthermore, we’ll explore how they continue to build on them and what steps they plan to take next. As a result, we’ll get a clearer picture of the long-term impact of digitalization.

However, digitalization isn’t always a smooth journey. For this reason, we’ll also discuss what companies rarely talk about in presentations. What went wrong? Where did mistakes or “fuck-ups” happen? And perhaps most importantly, what would these companies do differently today?

Ultimately, this isn’t about theory. Instead, it’s about real experiences, measurable results, mistakes, and future plans from Czech manufacturing companies. After all, the best lessons often come from real-world experience rather than presentations.

So, join us to discover what digitalization really looks like beyond the presentations.
