Advanced manufacturing thrives on seamless data flows and consistency across the operational landscape. However, many organizations still rely on complex mixes of legacy software from multiple vendors, which can often make easy data sharing impossible. As a result, shops are less flexible, less agile, and less able to absorb change—all critical qualities to thrive in today’s manufacturing environment.

To combat these issues, manufacturers are turning to standardized software configurations, which allows them to track workflows more efficiency, control costs more effectively, and better streamline their operations. In this webinar, we will examine the advantages of this strategy and how industry leaders are using it to create the seamless data flow necessary to drive advanced manufacturing.

Specifically, attendees will learn:

• How standardizing your manufacturing software can improve the efficiency of your processes, replacing fragmented workflows and increasing operational agility, to help you adapt to industry and market changes more easily.
• Where manufacturing software automation can be maximized, using fully integrated systems to eliminate redundancy, and capturing and sharing best practices across your manufacturing teams to address skills gaps.
• How manufacturing software standardization can simplify organizational overheads, streamlining training, support and management.

The current COVID-19 situation has underscored the importance of reliable communications and the value of having remote access to your business systems, whether from home or across the plant. One silver lining—in this otherwise terrible situation—is that businesses are discovering new ways to leverage networking technology to optimize personal productivity with the important benefit of remaining operational in troubled times.

Tracking your compressed air system remotely is another critical part of this process. Even in normal times, routinely visiting the compressor room to manually check the condition of the system is usually inconvenient and often forgotten—until there are problems. For plant managers, engineers, production, and operations managers, having compressed air system data at your fingertips can help avoid costly downtime.

This webinar will explore:

• What compressed air data points can and should be effectively monitored
• How this information translates to a more reliable compressed air station.

Join Neil Mehltretter, Engineering Manager at Kaeser Compressors, as he covers considerations and practical options for remotely monitoring your critical compressed air systems.

For the past few decades, the path to success in manufacturing often resulted in extended supply chains and multiple sources of operations. When everything worked correctly, costs were low and margins were fat.

COVID-19 has put that old model of manufacturing under tremendous strain. The questions of how and where your company will have distribution and manufacturing operations in the US, Europe, China, Asia, and everywhere else have all been reopened.

How will your company not only cope with the current short-term crisis, but also build a future proof value chain? Join us to start planning your roadmap, including answers to the following questions:

• How to build your risk-resilient (decentralized) supply chain?
• Are decentralizing production or reshoring realistic options for your company?
• How can you manage your supplier base better with more advanced supplier management tools and a control tower to enhance visibility?
• How do you find the best location for your new consolidated plant/distribution center?

Product teams are under pressure to produce. But bringing new products to market is incredibly complex — and that was before Covid-19 caused unexpected disruption and dramatically shifted markets. Now more than ever, product teams need to operate with agility that helps them respond to sudden, dramatic market shifts and bring the most profitable products to market quickly.

To achieve this level of efficiency, product leaders and teams need to reimagine the way they operate to move at a faster pace at every development step from ideation to launch, iteratively roadmap and prioritize the most viable products, and bring those products to market the moment they’re needed.

By adjusting a few things in the way your product teams operate, you’ll be able to streamline your product development processes to help the business meet demand and remain competitive and viable in rapidly evolving markets–all without adding budget, time, or resources.

Join us as we outline three steps to streamlining product innovations to help you:

• identify the right opportunities
• align product roadmaps with company strategy
• simplify budgets and planning timelines
• standardize product workflows and lifecycles
• and automate reviews and approvals

The COVID-19 pandemic is necessitating rapid shifts in many company auditing processes as a means to assure compliance with EHS regulatory requirements and continued maintenance of EHS management systems. Work environments have changed with many facility staff being transitioned to remote work or staggered schedules. Business activities may have shifted to those minimum operations permitted by state order, or those deemed critical for business sustainability. With limited access to the activities needing reviewed, site staff and compliance records auditing teams need to rethink how audits are planned and conducted. In these uncertain economic times, there is more than ever increased pressure to improve efficiency and maximize return on investment; all while meeting stakeholder expectations for the audit.

Many companies that have been using remote auditing strategies for years have already seen the value-add for their programs. By using technology, such as mobile tablets, live video streaming, and electronic cloud-based document sharing, organizations are optimizing for efficiency and providing lasting positive business impacts. With the right tools, your organization can conduct more effective audits in less time, while also improving peer-to-peer collaboration, reducing costs and continuing to meet compliance assurance expectations for your organization and stakeholder.

Join Gensuite LLC and Specialty Technical Consultants, Inc (STC) to discuss remote auditing best practices including:

• Key considerations & recommendations for implementing remote audit processes
• Leveraging technology as the solution for remote site interviews, walkthroughs, and evaluations
• Utilizing remote auditing techniques, such as live video streaming with remote experts, to improve site performance and drive corrective actions to closure
