4cost as sponsor and exhibitor at AGRITECH 2023<\/h1><\/div>On 13 and 14 September, the AGRITECH Supplier Summit took place in Augsburg for the fourth time. On site, renowned companies from the agricultural industry presented solutions, innovations and ideas for the digital transformation of agriculture. With over 310 participants, 55 speakers and 41 exhibitors, this year’s event was the largest to date for the organiser and host, the Berlin Institute Supply Chain Management in cooperation with AGCO.<\/strong><\/p>\n4cost GmbH once again sponsored the event and provided an on-site insight into its extensive portfolio of costing solutions<\/a>. “Digital transformation needs smart solutions that keep their promises. Our costing software<\/a> gives manufacturers of agricultural machinery a valuable tool to achieve maximum cost transparency in every project phase,” says Joachim Sch\u00f6ffer, managing partner of 4cost GmbH. “With our software<\/a>, all aspects of product costing from development to production, operation and disposal can be simulated, analysed and easily compared with each other using different scenarios. Thereby ensuring that products are both profitable and of high customer value.”<\/p>\n<\/div>![\"4cost](\"https:\/\/www.4cost.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/4cost_AGRITECH_2023_A.jpg\" "\\"4cost")

During the two-day summit, numerous keynotes, discussion panels and workshops with representatives of international industrial companies took place. Among others, the following topics were in focus: The factory of the future, sustainability in the agricultural industry, requirements and implementation of the supply chain due diligence act, women in leadership positions, use of artificial intelligence. Joachim Sch\u00f6ffer moderated the panel on the topic “Digital future of the agricultural technology industry”. It became clear that the industry is only at the beginning of a long journey. There are first promising approaches, especially in production, to use AI-driven digitalisation solutions. However, there are major challenges both in the development departments and in the interaction with customers and suppliers to establish digital and, if necessary, AI-driven processes.<\/p>\n<\/div>
