Event Recap: Strengthening Collaboration for the Smart Factory
Strong partnerships are the engine of real progress – both with our customers and within our own teams. Because only when we’re aligned internally can we deliver innovative, tailor-made automation solutions from a single source: technologically advanced, locally rooted, and globally connected. That’s exactly what CrossPower 2025, our internal SCIO event, was all about – strengthening collaboration across our international sales organization.
What does the path to a Smart Factory feel like?
Sometimes like stepping into the unknown – a daring leap from high above, with plenty of excitement along the way. That’s the spirit we embraced at CrossPower 2025 – not just metaphorically, but quite literally.
“Markets are shaky, and planning often feels like walking a tightrope — we all feel it. That’s why at SCIO, we rely on a team that truly works together, solutions that hold up, and customers who know: they’ve got someone by their side who doesn’t just talk about automation, but truly understands and lives it. That’s what drives us every single day.”
Michael Goepfarth, CEO SCIO Automation.
Four Practical Solutions for Industrial Efficiency
Many businesses are under pressure – to move faster, reduce costs, and deal with resource constraints. At CrossPower 2025, we experienced four SCIO solutions up close – each one developed to tackle challenges our customers face every day (not just to impress on a PowerPoint slide):
The better our sales teams understand what’s being developed at our 40+ global sites, the more effectively we can combine those solutions – and bring real value to production floors, logistics centers, and day-to-day factory life.
“I came in with mixed expectations – we’ve all been to events that kick off with big plans but lose steam as soon as daily business kicks in. This time, it was different. I left with not just new ideas, but clear takeaways I can directly apply to my projects. And the in-person conversations? Invaluable – nothing replaces face-to-face.”
Robin Gutheil, Head of Marketing & Sales VESCON Process.
Real Collaboration Takes Courage, Trust & Technology
Yes, it was about technology – but not only. At CrossPower, we climbed, balanced, leaped, and laughed. Workshops and challenges brought our teams closer, stretched comfort zones, and turned shared learning into shared momentum. Team spirit with a twist of adrenaline – that’s what brings people together.
Would you jump from a high platform?
Starting a new project often feels the same. But with SCIO Automation as your safety line, that leap becomes possible – and the landing, secure.
P.S.: Of course, we also made sure the look & feel was just right – because true team spirit needs a strong presence. We proudly show who we are:We are SCIO Automation. With our ongoing SCIO rebranding, we’re increasingly presenting ourselves under one shared identity. You can find more information about our SCIO-Identity here:
The result: Trust isn’t a buzzword – it’s how we work.
CrossPower 2025 wasn’t a typical sales event – it was a statement. Real solutions happen when people listen. When ideas are built on together. When teams grow beyond locations, cultures, and time zones. Our customers benefit from that – directly, meaningfully, and with impact.
