VMAP User Forum 2025

We are pleased to inform you that the VMAP SC is hosting the VMAP User Forum 2025 from 18-20 February 2025 at Schloss Birlinghoven, Sankt Augustin, Germany and we are delighted to invite you to this prestigious event and hope that you could support it with your attendance.

Is the simulation data organized for further analysis?
This event will address the growing importance of digitalization and process integration in manufacturing, emphasizing both virtual tasks (like design, simulation, and optimization) and physical steps (such as material & part testing and monitoring, system testing). There is also an increasing emphasis on digital product passports, which require well-structured, standardized, and semantically rich data.

The event will span three days:
• Day 1: Updates on the VMAP specifications and the ongoing adaptation of tools to the standard.
• Day 2: Focus on VMAP, its metadata and associated ontologies, as well as solutions for semantic information management in various R&D projects.
• Day 3: Integration platforms and the semantic analysis and AI integration supported by VMAP.

Overall, the event aims to advance the standardization and semantic structuring necessary for successful digital integration in manufacturing.
Registration for the event is open until 7 February 2025.
