Reimagining Vertical Flight: Bridging Challenges Through Technology (Postponed)

• Time: 2:30PM – 7:30 PM (Registration – 2:30PM to 3:00PM, Main event – 3:00PM to 6:00PM, Networking over drinks – 6:00PM to 7:30PM)

• About the event: Helicopters are the lifelines of infrastructure and safety. The industry today is facing a combination of challenges – human capital, supply chain constraints, production ramp-up, sustainable operations. The VTOL industry is facing challenges of regulations, urban airspace and ground infrastructure, complex flight controls and battery limits. In the WG meeting we discuss on technology intervention on some of these challenges by way of panel discussions and design thinking workshop.
• About TATA Consultancy Services: TCS is part of The Tata Group which is one of India’s largest and oldest multinational conglomerates. Founded in 1868, the group operates over 30 companies across a diverse range of industries including aerospace and defense. TCS is a digital transformation and technology partner of choice for industry-leading organizations worldwide.

• Hosts for the event: Sebastien Durbec (Country Head, TCS Switzerland)

Tentative Agenda:

15h-16h: Presentations about Tata Consultancy Services, other pitches

•  worldwide activities in Helicopter and VTOL, and aerospace

16h-17h: Panel Discussions (TBC):

1. Future Ready Manufacturing: Intelligent Products Design (digital thread, simulation led design) and Smart Factory (paperless operations, connected plant, connected workforce)
2. Intervention of Digital Technologies (AI / GenAI, ML, Cloud) in overcoming supply chain constraints: Improving supplier performance through digital integration, Can Supply Chain Digital Twin help in minimizing Supply Chain disruptions, Can GenAI / Agentic AI help in data driven procurement decisions

17h-18h: Design Thinking Workshop:

The panel discussion will be followed by a Design Thinking workshop where the objective is to identify the top 3 challenges being faced by the Switzerland Helicopter and VTOL industry and recommend actions.
