The Smart Factory of Tomorrow – What you need to know and where to start
The smart factory of tomorrow is about building upon the advancements of Industrial IoT by automating data collection from machines, devices, and applications, then transforming that data into insights. The smart factory of tomorrow will continuously collect data through connected machines, devices, and systems rooted in interconnectivity, automation, artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, and real-time data. These will enable many different things, depending on each manufacturer’s goals. Join this panel to find out where to start and what’s important to consider when starting a digital transformation process in your factory.

Building Cyber Security – Incentivizing Investments in National Safety
National leaders have asked critical infrastructure sectors to raise cybersecurity shields from a range of cyber bad actors for one reason – Cyber threats are more than a risk to data and privacy – A cyber attack directed at connected operational technologies can have catastrophic consequences for public safety, health, and our way of life. In response, OT cyber industry leaders have developed initiatives to incentivize investments in the mitigation of cyber risk. National experts will discuss emerging trends in OT cyber threats, how the risk can be mitigated, and the current state of risk transfer to insurance.
