Both events confirmed the same message: industry is entering a new era in which technology is not the goal but the partner of the person. And HIPROJECT is, here and now, one of the players actively shaping that new industry.
Industry 5.0 Summit: when Europe is searching for solutions, HIPROJECT delivers answers
On the main stage, HIPROJECT director Urban Pevnik took part in the plenary panel “Industry 5.0 – What’s There for Companies?”. He spoke about the challenges pressing on companies today: chronic workforce shortages, rising operational costs, outdated or unreliable equipment and the pressure to achieve greater efficiency, safety and energy optimisation.
He emphasised that companies are looking for solutions with a clear, pragmatic effect: safer processes, smart integrations, automation that makes sense, energy efficiency and technologies that strengthen the person rather than replace them.
HIPROJECT came to the Summit as one of the co-organisers, which further confirmed our role in shaping the industry of the future in Slovenia and more widely in Europe.
Humanoid robots: from laboratories into industrial reality
On the second stage our head of sales, Bojan Goluh, presented in more detail a subject that was among the most popular of the whole event: humanoid robots in Industry 5.0.
His message was crystal clear: humanoid robots are no longer an experiment. They are coming into industry, and faster than we think. Today they are already able to perform stable manipulations, to move autonomously through open production spaces and to take on repetitive, physically demanding or hazardous tasks.
But the key is not in the robot. The key is in the integration.
HIPROJECT has become the first integrator of humanoid robots in Slovenia, equipped with in-depth automation knowledge, an understanding of factory systems (MES, PLC, SCADA), experience in configuring industrial processes and full lifecycle support for humanoid robotic systems.
Industry showed exceptional interest. Our demo corner was one of the most visited parts of the Summit and the message was clear: the market is ready and HIPROJECT is in the right position.
The most advanced humanoid robot in Europe is coming to Slovenia
At the Summit, HIPROJECT announced another important milestone: we will be the first in Europe to receive the most advanced humanoid robot for industrial applications with the ability to change its own battery, which means uninterrupted operation, fewer stoppages, higher productivity and entirely new possibilities for process automation.
This is a technology that truly marks the beginning of Industry 5.0 in practice.
Practical examples of Industry 5.0: solutions that are already working
At the Summit we also presented examples of good practice from our clients, companies that are already introducing reductions in energy consumption, safer working environments, the automation of demanding processes, the integration of humanoid robotic systems and intelligent algorithms for managing industrial systems.
Industry 5.0 is not the future. It is happening now. Our projects prove it.
Game Changer 3.0: a sold-out conference full of new opportunities
Only a few days before the Summit, representatives of our company also took part in Game Changer Ljubljana 3.0, one of the most important regional events on digital transformation.
Urban Pevnik and Bojan Goluh took part in the panel From Automation to Collaboration. They spoke about how AI is changing production processes, why humanoid robots are becoming a key part of industry, how clean hydrogen affects the future of energy and why the person is once again at the centre of the industrial revolution.
The event was sold out. The atmosphere was exceptional. And the interest of industry and of other audiences was enormous.
Why does this week matter so much for HIPROJECT?
Because it confirmed three key truths:
1. HIPROJECT helps create Industry 5.0; it does not merely follow trends
Our technologies, integrations, knowledge and vision have brought us into the role of a player that actively shapes the European industrial future.
2. Humanoid robotics has become a real market segment
No longer an idea. A technology that is arriving in industry. Now.
HIPROJECT is in a unique position: we are distributor, integrator, consultant and lifetime support.
3. The most valuable strength of HIPROJECT is its partnerships
The events created new connections with industrial giants, European innovation centres, universities, research institutions and companies that want to implement advanced technologies today.
This is the ecosystem that will decide competitiveness in the decades to come.
The future of industry is being built today. HIPROJECT is part of it.
A week full of debates, panels, demonstrations and meetings revealed something essential:
Industry 5.0 is not a vision. Not a concept. Not the future. It is a reality happening in front of our eyes.
HIPROJECT is here to shape that reality. With courage, knowledge, innovation and partnerships that lead to a smarter, safer and more human industry.
