SUMMARY:Factory of the Future - Optimizing the Plant for Industrial Transformation
DESCRIPTION:The Factory of the future (FoF) is a key part of every industrial transformation (IX) program. It delivers the systems needed in the factory to support IX technology\, process and people. The key starting point for every FoF is data. Indeed\, many factories have started that data collection through MOM\, SCADA and other key manufacturing software technology. The FoF will deliver the technology to support agility\, empowered workers and ever more autonomous factories. \nAttendees will learn: \n\nThe starting points for your FoF journey\nHow to build the architecture to support FoF processes\nSources of data and ideas for bringing it all together\nHow to define and use Edge computing concepts in the integrated world\nSome key technologies that you should consider in your FoF journey\, including MOM\, digital twins\, AI and digital Lean\nThe starting points for FoF operational optimization and its expansion into the supply chain\n\nSpeaker \nAndrew Hughes\, Principal Analyst\, LNS Research  \nAndrew Hughes is a Principal Analyst with LNS Research\, where he leads the factory of the future coverage area. He primarily focuses on industrial operations and manufacturing operations management\, with collaborative coverage across the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)\, industrial analytics\, the Digital Twin\, product lifecycle management\, discrete manufacturing\, and other industry verticals served by LNS Research. Andrew has more than 30 years’ experience in manufacturing IT\, software research\, sales\, and management across a broad spectrum of manufacturing industries. Andrew has led teams and initiatives across prominent companies like Aspen Technology\, Philips Electronics\, Honeywell and GEC Marconi. Hughes holds a BSc honours degree in Computer Science from York University. \nLNS Research provides research and advisory services to guide companies through Industrial Transformation. Our research focuses on how digital technology drives transformation across the value chain and offers insights into the people\, processes\, and technologies required for achieving Operational Excellence. Our team of research analysts work with industrial companies to help them eliminate worries around alignment\, time\, cost and risk in Industrial Transformation. We apply proven methodologies to drive IT-OT convergence and disciplinary business leaders to achieve goals and time-to-value\, quickly and confidently.

SUMMARY:Optimizing Production in the Age of Digital Transformation
DESCRIPTION:Today’s Markets are no longer satisfied with “standard” products and services. Manufacturers are increasingly driven to produce smaller quantities of a wider variety of products – and to do it with great efficiency. Rigid\, inflexible processes no longer meet the needs of the market. Flexibility and agility are required to compete and succeed in this highly dynamic environment. \nFortunately\, we live in a time of digital transformation where our goals are no longer hampered by restricted back office systems with capabilities limited to specific partners. This is a rigid transaction-based mode of operation. New technologies can now bring about the revolutionary change needed to transform the value creation model. Manufacturers globally are increasingly moving from product-centric\, slow\, rigid\, & static supply chains to an experience-centric\, fast\, agile\, and dynamic value network. \nIn this webinar you will learn how the modern manufacturer orchestrates operations through the effective use of digital and analytic technologies available today. \nAreas we will explore include: \n\nHow the effective adoption of technologies such as advanced supply chain planning\, optimization\, IOT and edge computing drive value creation now and in the future.\nUnderstanding the art of what is possible by modelling all of the operational processes.\nBringing long-term plans into focus for effective execution in the real world.\nHow advanced planning technology is already delivering a competitive advantage today.\nWhat the digital transformation journey looks like and how to apply the enabling technologies.\n\nSpeaker \nCamilo Gaviria\, Vice President of Technical Sales at DELMIA\, Dassault Systèmes \nCamilo Gaviria is the Vice President of Technical Sales at DELMIA. He oversees the DELMIA Center of Excellence within Dassault Systèmes. Prior to this\, He was the Senior Business Director for Metals & Manufacturing\, and the Director of Quintiq Latin America. Camilo holds a bachelor’s degree in economics and a master’s degree in econometrics and operations research. He is also a certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. \n\nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Informa’s Terms of Service and to Informa’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Informa\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Informa’s Privacy Policy.
