The Opportunities of Digital Transformation for Manufacturing & Supply Chain
Enhanced data collection, more robust resource management, Data-driven customer insights, a better customer experience, increased profits, increased agility, and improved productivity – these are just a few opportunities that digital transformation has to offer for Manufacturing & Supply Chain. Find out how industrial companies leverage digital transformation to their benefit and where you could start.
10:00 AM – 11:00 AM ET
Industrial IoT architecture: how to tap into its full potential
A solid framework for the Industrial Internet of Things is at the heart of a long-term, robust environment for IoT project development in industrial settings. The process implies much more than having multiple industrial IoT devices connected to the internet. A robust infrastructure is a decisive constituent of that process.
Some of the topics covered during this session:
- Connecting Cloud applications to field devices
- Edge devices
- Systems
- Standards
- Security
This session explores common connectivity patterns for industrial solutions.
11:00 AM – 12:00 PM ET
The Data Factory: Put the data to work.
Industrial organizations are generating more data than ever before and looking to institute AI and Analytic applications to transform their organizations and give them a competitive advantage, to control costs and optimize operations. Because DataOps is a new concept to industrial, there is a chasm in understanding between IT and OT teams that must be bridged to fully realize sustainable digital transformation for an industrial business.
As an Operations Leader, you understand the value of automation and operations management systems, but may struggle in the IT concepts and terminology that are more well known in commercial businesses such as banking, ad-tech, and insurance. You do, however, appreciate how a factory works and how well-designed production processes execute. Industrial DataOps is a lot like a factory production line in the way it automates, upgrades, improves, and assembles another valuable raw material which is, of course, data. In this session, we will explain Industrial DataOps in the context of the way a manufacturing plant is optimized. This will help to bridge the divide between the plant manager and the central IT manager, allowing the understanding these techniques of professional data management to drive sustainable digital transformation.
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM ET
Applying AI to manufacturing
According to a BCG report, the manufacturing industry’s most important AI use cases focus on Intelligent, self-optimizing machines that automate production processes. AI helps manufacturers to forecast efficiency losses for better planning or detect quality defects to facilitate predictive maintenance & much more. Join this panel to hear directly from end-users about how AI works for their manufacturing companies.
1:00 PM – 2:00 PM ET
Cognitive planning and AI-driven predictive analytics for supply chain in manufacturing
Topics to be covered:
- How predictive analytics is used to predict failures in manufacturing
- The benefits of predictive maintenance over traditional maintenance
- How to collect and analyze IIoT data in manufacturing
2:00 PM – 3:00 PM ET
Securing the Convergence of the Manufacturing Internet of Things
Most industrial control systems lack security by design. OT environments are especially difficult to defend against cyberattacks due to the vulnerability and fragility of systems in place, and the common use of implicit trust models. Mix in the increased connectivity between industrial and corporate networks and the remote access requirements for employees and third-party suppliers, and you have changed risk equation. Listen in as our panel addresses the cybersecurity essentials for the people, process and technology behind the movement toward Industry 5.0.
3:00 PM – 4:00 PM ET
Mitigate your ICS, IIoT, and Software Supply Chain Cybersecurity Risks
- Why software supply chain security is everyone’s problem
- Overcoming software trustworthiness challenges
- Regulations that are forcing organizations to address software supply chain security
- How to address ICS, IIoT, and IoT needs
