Why attend?

Polipol are one of the largest furniture manufacturers in Europe, specializing in upholstered furniture production. They are known for placing quality, innovation, customer focus and sustainability at the heart of everything they do.

But they are not immune to complex challenges along the way. Polipol have had to overcome:

An ever-changing landscape.

Polipol have always been aware that growing diversity, rising complexity and cross-location collaboration were going to cause obstacles.

The ‘realization’.

Whilst everyone loves traditional methods, it’s not enough. Today’s fast-paced market means customers are always demanding more; a stark realization by the Polipol team.

The need for a digital shift.

With that in mind, Polipol knew there was a need for smarter collaboration, faster development, and the need to preserve ‘product emotion’ during production.

Learn from the Polipol team on their digital transformation journey, and the importance of using products from the Siemens Xcelerator Portfolio to stay ahead of the competition. This is your opportunity to meet Jamie Tyler; a member of the Siemens Immersive team, and pioneering members of the Polipol team.

It’s the perfect opportunity to see how this collaboration enables Polipol to ‘create a product that may look simple on the outside but is anything but on the inside’.

Make sure you register and see how an industry leading company is implementing Immersive Engineering to be ready for the future.

Learning Objectives of this webinar:

  • How Polipol are mastering the art of complex upholstery with Siemens Xcelerator
  • Why Immersive Engineering is reducing product development times; faster decisions, fewer errors
