Heidelberg's second SHIFT forum returns on October 6-7, 2026, spanning venues in Heidelberg and Wiesloch-Walldorf, bringing together print executives and technology experts to explore AI, workflow automation and robotics in real production environments. A highlight will be the first live audience demonstration of Prinect Touch Free, which dynamically routes jobs across inkjet, toner and offset presses based on live cost data. Speakers from SAP, Lunes Robotics, August Faller and others will address practical challenges including packaging automation, humanoid robotics and managing multiple automation vendors on a single production floor.
