The Roadmap to Jump-start Your Smart Manufacturing Journey
Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0, Connected Enterprise... Why do we need this in our factory? What will investing in this even do for manufacturers? Aren’t those people wasting their money? How can we possibly pay for plant-wide Industrial IoT (IIoT) implementations? Why should I care? Where should I start? This presentation will break down the basics of smart manufacturing, present real-world data on why manufacturers are investing and offer simple actions you can start making today. We will also introduce concepts like: managing culture change, condition monitoring, predictive maintenance and how to introduce new technology into your organization. At the end of this session, you will be empowered with specific information to jump-start your smart manufacturing journey and will be provided the roadmap to enabling your factory with flexibility, efficiency and visibility.

Industry 4.0: Driving Change with Your Data
Use Cases, Best Practices, and the Goal of Implementing an Industry 4.0 Strategy: Data and information are valuable (and we have more than ever before), but companies will be able to differentiate themselves by the people, tools and execution utilizing that data. The companies who can grow a new mindset and new skillsets within their organizations are likely to find greater success. Accelerate your performance with the right data. Visualize and optimize your system by digitizing every device, motion, and event on your machines and systems to generate clear actionable solutions for optimum productivity and efficiency.
