About the Event

In today's digital transformation era, the manufacturing industry is experiencing several changes. The ability to quickly adapt to these rapid changes is a key trait between manufacturers that merely survive and those that thrive. Many manufacturers are constructing flexible, intelligent factories in order to ensure a resilient and sustainable future as organizations face recurring challenges like increasing costs, supply chain challenges, and workforce shortfalls.

To enhance supply chain visibility, maximize productivity, and streamline the entire manufacturing process, these firms are adopting cutting-edge manufacturing technologies like IoT, RPA, AI, ML etc. would be the game-changer in this scenario - But timely action is the key.

Connecting factory assets – adding sensors to machines and equipment to collect data, then monitoring and modifying production operations is the very first step on the journey to the “factory of the future.” Ultimately, the manufacturing industry wants to connect and monitor factory performance across the globe, using data from smart assets to apply operational insights and further optimize production processes.
