Presentation
The Intelligent Manufacturing Journey
The Intelligent Manufacturing Journey can be thought of as a continuous progression to full manufacturing optimization, which includes process, machine, quality and supply chain elements. Organizations find themselves at varying levels of maturity. Most are at Level 1 or Level 2 today. The big step change is going from level 1 and 2 to level 3 and 4 with the realization that advanced analytics and customer inclusion are central to Manufacturing 4.0. Come learn how to progress from one level to another while dealing with islands-of-automation, monolithic manufacturing systems and apps. The challenge is to get insights that matter and gain control over key pain points. Then you can focus on tackling issues that drive business outcomes and provide pathways to greater maturity.
