Rethinking IIoT to Stay Competitive in the Manufacturing Industry
(sponsored by Microsoft and GE Digital)

The table stakes for the industrial internet of things (IIoT) has matured. With the rapid commodity of technology and a lowered barrier to entry, anyone who wants to connect machines and devices now can do so readily to solve a single problem. That means any competitive advantages you get from IIoT will soon disappear. To stay resilient in the currently unpredictable economic environment, manufacturers need to rethink their approach to IIoT and require more from their technologies: flexibility, scalability, and resilience.

In this panel, our speakers will discuss:
– The current state of IIoT: rapid commoditization of technology and lower barrier to entry
– The pressing challenge to improve efficiency and productivity
– New requirements for IIoT: providing insights, not just data, that can drive continuous improvements
– A new approach to technology selection and deployment (human-centric) and how it can help evolve IIoT
– Real-Time Monitoring & Analytics

Activate your Industrial Data Lake for Data Products (sponsored by Hitachi Vantara)

Do you find that BI, data science, and support teams aren’t able to find, or access, relevant data to do their jobs? Or maybe executives complain about a lack of data or distrust of data from operations. If end users are discovering that data sets are incomplete or out-of-date, then this session is for you.

Industrial organizations are generating more data than ever before and looking to institute analytic applications to transform their organizations and give them a competitive advantage. Next-generation Data Lakes can create business value by efficiently storing all OT data in a central location and merging it with IT data. Whether you are creating a Data Lake from scratch or adding and managing operations data as part of your existing enterprise data repository, this session will help.

Discover how to automate the entire process to collect and securely store data from all sources and manage unstructured data, time series, documents, photos, video, and more. An Industrial Data Lake is the single source of truth for all your operations data.

You will learn how to:

• Create a trusted and unified view of data across multiple operating sites and regions.
• Eliminate data silos, empower optimization decisions and enable other operations departments.
• Control big data costs, curate, and catalog your data and support self-service dataflow management.

Modernizing the Manufacturing Industry with IIoT

The global marketplace is evolving rapidly, and the ability to adapt is a defining factor between manufacturers that merely survive, and those that thrive.
Keys to a successful program for Modernizing the Manufacturing Industry with IIoT start with a collaboration between the business, IT, manufacturing operations, and manufacturing IT.  Convincing manufacturing to realize there are benefits from making the investment and overcoming the inertia of “my systems and lean methodologies don’t need to change” isn’t an easy task.
 
In this session, our panelists will discuss:
– Inertia in organizations
– Why lean practices alone aren’t enough
– Enabling transformation with sponsorship and engagement
– How semiconductor ecosystem players are working to define what digital transformation means to semiconductor manufacturing
– How to innovate with IIoT analytics while protecting your existing IT and OT investments
– Strategies for accelerating the digital transformation journey & best practices
– Critical success factors to succeed
