Future of Manufacturing is Smart and Innovative
The industry has always been innovating – using technologies like innovative sensors coupled with software and analytics to reduce operating costs, improve safety, increase reliability, and enable sustainable operations. But now there is a need to apply this innovation quickly and effectively. Due to the pandemic, fewer people are in plants, and companies are embracing new and enabling technologies that help them accelerate their digital transformation programs. With technologies like augmented reality (AR) already available, it has become a major tool to help increase collaboration and effectiveness between personnel across the organization.
But what comes next? The industry has two options; push all the data to the cloud and let someone else manage it or does the data live at the sensor? What is the right thing to do, what is the balance? This is what I will discuss during this panel.
