Overview
The lecture will follow the British Tunnelling Society Young Members AGM, which begins at 6:00 PM.
This lecture by Maximilian Lischke will delve into the evolving landscape of digitalisation in tunnelling, emphasizing the importance of human-centered design.
While technologies like digital twins and AI are gaining traction, their impact is limited without addressing operational realities such as fragmented data flows and poor accessibility.
The presentation will showcase how cloud-based IoT platforms and intuitive interfaces can simplify operations, improve clarity, and empower teams.
Attendees will gain insights into integrating OT, IT, and IoT environments to drive smarter planning and execution in tunnelling projects.
The lecture will last 45–60 minutes, followed by a 10–20 minute Q&A session, networking drinks, and informal discussions at the Kendal's Bar with drinks sponsored by Herrenknecht AG.
