SUMMARY:Enabling Enterprise-Wide Visibility and Increasing Efficiency with Centralized\, Remote\, and Mobile Operations
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintThe global pandemic brought emergency changes on manufacturing operations. There was a quick shift in operations to remote working and increased sanitization with the goal to lose as little productivity as possible. However\, the advantage of some remote working became apparent\, and world-class manufacturers are now discovering they can have the advantages of mobile working\, not adversely affect operations\, and create a more satisfied\, flexible\, and productive workforce. \nBut how can you get started? \nJoin us at this IndustryWeek-hosted presentation for a discussion of the tools that can be used to enable the remote and connected worker and increase manufacturing operational agility\, including a case study from a leading energy company. You will see how the connected worker can be more than a mobile worker and discover solutions that dramatically change the way operators\, quality engineers\, and supervisors work remotely—minimizing the risk of making errors and delivering the right information to the right person—all without compromising security and process integrity. \nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Endeavor’s Terms of Service and to Endeavor’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Endeavor\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Endeavor’s Privacy Policy.

SUMMARY:Pathways to Smart Manufacturing through Smart Maintenance
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintMany manufacturing companies today are aware of the potential benefits of Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) and utilizing data to improve their operations. However\, to yield the full benefits of IIOT\, companies must first recognize areas within their operations which can benefit and then develop a strategy for implementing the tools necessary to digitize their operation. One potential use of digital data collected using IIOT and other means is for developing a “smart” maintenance program.   \nPennTAP will be joined in this webinar by Dr. Vittal Prabhu who will describe the process by which manufacturer’s can begin to develop a smart maintenance program through the use of data as well as present ways in which Penn State can assist companies with this transition to smart maintenance through development of a baseline performance models\, IIOT sensor data\, and algorithms for analysis and prediction along with estimating return on investment for implementing IOT and cloud computing solutions. \nRegister \nPrint PDFPrint

SUMMARY:Automated Machine Tool Processes: What You Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintAs you look to improve your production processes\, automation is a must. But\, what does that mean? There are many levels of automation and there is no “one size fits all” approach. Every application is unique and you don’t necessarily need to automate an entire process. Nor\, does the process need to be repetitive. Technology and expertise around automation has evolved to a point that even with low-volume\, high mix applications\, you can automate. \nAgenda:\n\nAutomated machine tending\nLow volume/high mix applications\nAutomation technology\n\nRegister \nPresenter:\nMichael Gaunce – Group Manager\, Stationary Workholding \nMichael Gaunce is the Group Manager for Stationary Workholding at SCHUNK with 9 years of experience in the workholding industry. He grew up in Raleigh\, North Carolina where he also obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from NC State University. During his last year of college\, he began working part-time as a designer and application engineer in the specialized industry of magnetic workholding & material handling. Upon graduation\, Michael resumed the role full-time at the small design/assembly house where he learned every aspect of the business\, including the quoting\, design and implementation. In 2012\, Michael joined SCHUNK as a Sales Support Engineer to broaden his knowledge and skill set to include all forms of workholding devices (not just magnetic) in the manufacturing industry. The opportunity to travel the country and visit various manufacturing facilities in all sectors of industry has provided him with a unique insight into the true value of good workholding\, and efficient change-over between tooling. Now\, Michael leads a team of application engineers\, and focuses on broader market initiatives which has gained him deeper insights into general market trends in manufacturing. In recent years\, Michael is keen to help his customers with the automation of machine tools. Automation is now not just restricted to high production manufacturers like automotive – it is being adopted by all industries and a wide variety of companies\, large and small. \nPresented By:\n\n\n\n\nPrint PDFPrint

SUMMARY:Office Buildings and Ventilation: How COVID-19 and Other Pathogens Spread Between Zones
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintHow does COVID-19 and other pathogens spread between different zones of the office? \nDr. Jason DeGraw of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) will discuss the effect of ventilation rates on the concentration and spread of COVID-19 and other pathogens within office buildings as well as the energy implications of the ventilation strategies addressed. \nAnalysis of air movement using CONTAM\, a multizone indoor air quality and ventilation model developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)\, provides a detailed understanding of how ventilation rates and office building design can affect the exposure of office workers and can help building operators balance these considerations with the associated energy impacts. \nRegister \nPrint PDFPrint

SUMMARY:Solving Your Supply Chain Challenges & Building Resiliency
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintThe last year and a half has shaken the supply chain plans of every industry\, particularly the transportation and manufacturing sectors. Supply shortages threaten manufacturers’ ability to meet demand\, and the semiconductor chip shortage threatens to hobble the emerging global recovery. \nJoin us as Ernst & Young LLP\, IndustryWeek and FleetOwner panelists explore these critical issues facing the transportation and manufacturing sectors. We’ll examine both global issues and actions individual companies can take to create tomorrow’s supply chain today. \nIn this webinar\, you will learn: \n\nHow COVID-19 exposed the vulnerabilities of supply chains engineered primarily for cost and speed\nWhy supply chains and business operations must undergo a radical restructuring to meet the challenge of improving performance and innovation\nWhy the impact of the global chip shortage stretches beyond the transportation industry\nAn understanding that supply chain resilience is more than just adding capacity or arranging for alternate suppliers in times of crisis\n\nWe’ll also share insights from supply chain advisors on: \n\nHow visibility across the supply chain includes capabilities to sense or predict supply and demand\nTips to control costs\, reduce risks and maximize throughput more effectively\nWhy the rewards of a resilient supply chain are both economic and social\n\nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Endeavor’s Terms of Service and to Endeavor’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Endeavor\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Endeavor’s Privacy Policy.
