All manufacturer operations – from pharmaceutical manufacturers to power plant operations to energy producers and everyone in between — need timely maintenance to ensure consistent uptime. Asset failures can cost companies like yours hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost revenue, reduced asset reliability, and increased safety and compliance risks. By transforming service delivery from manual processes to digital service execution, you can provide smarter maintenance while also optimizing resource utilization and improving safety and compliance indicators. Join this webinar from ServiceMax to learn how to improve your service execution.

The webinar will address:

• Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) — supporting the capture and analysis of data to help deliver the right service actions
• Asset Performance Management (APM) — providing an analytical platform for asset data management, analysis and decision making
• Real-time insights at the point of resolution — modern tools for service execution that feature accurate asset data to ensure the right response.

In 2018, OSHA reported 5,147 work-related deaths in the United States.  In 2017, a study by Zappix, Inc., indicated slow customer service as the contributing factor in a $75B revenue loss.  Energy.gov states that 30% of energy used in average commercial buildings is wasted.

These seemingly disparate data points have one thing in common:  all are among the most common industry-wide business problems organizations seek to solve.  Expertise and technology are available today to help companies move forward.  The digital era is here.  But where to begin?

In this webinar, you will hear about Hitachi and Oracle’s joint approach to the Internet of Things (IoT) – asset monitoring, production monitoring, connected worker and optimized factory.  Hear how to identify a use case, which is the cornerstone of any successful IoT initiative, learn the questions to ask about capturing data, see examples of customer successes, watch a solution demo and share in a Q&A with our panel of experts.

Every company is impacted by the digital age.  In the past 15 years, 52% of Fortune 500 companies have disappeared from the list.  And it is estimated that 40% of all business will fail in the next 10 years due to digital disruption.  Let’s talk about how you begin or proceed along your path to solving business problems with IoT.

Doing digital right doesn’t mean you need to become the next Amazon, Netflix or Google — or even the next Pitney-Bowes, whose shift to digital has reinvented the company. But it does mean you may need to change your ways to maximize the potential to drive business. You may think there are obstacles. But it’s not money. It’s not lack of time. It’s not lack of resources. It’s you. It’s your mindset about digital strategy. It’s time to fill the gaps — and make those aspirations a reality. Let go of your fears and let’s get started.

PwC’s recent Digital IQ report reflects insights from over 2000 respondents in over 60 countries. Over 60% work in companies with revenues of $1 million or greater. Join this webinar to explore the four areas you must master to digitally succeed.

EXPERIENCE
You might be a digital poser. Time to face it. Companies say they’re digital, but many aren’t investing and behaving digitally. Time to face reality. Stop pretending and start changing.

DISRUPTION
Disruption surrounds you. Time to take control. Only 31% of companies say digital disruption is a threat to their business. They’re wrong. But it’s not too late.

LEADERSHIP
Help wanted: Real digital leaders.  Your team has more digital know-how than you do. That’s a problem. You need more knowledge and new ways of managing to succeed.

WORKFORCE
You’ve got a skills gap. Not the one you think.  There’s a disconnect between the skills and technologies that companies say matter most and what they’re investing in. More than half don’t even have a structure for delivering training.

You may be on the journey to digitization, but where exactly are you going?  Respondents to the survey selected one of four goals they say their companies aspire to accomplish with digital. We’ll explore these goals to help you frame them to your own company’s strategy.

• Refiners plan to redefine their business model and change how they operate
• Efficiency seekers focus on increasing speed and efficiency
• Modernizers looks to update and improve on what they already do
• Industry Leaders aim to break new ground in another industry – or even their own

So how do you get there? The steps are clear and we’ll wrap up the seminar by taking you through them.

1. Upskill your workforce. Change how people think and contribute to drive growth and innovation, within.
2. Build a best-in-class marketing and sales system. Ensure you have an easy understanding of the customer, resulting in the best experience.
3. Provide customers with the best experience post-sale
4. Create efficiencies, save money and make smart decisions through data & analytics, and AI.
5. Add new revenue streams. Build new business models through subscription services.
6. Secure data. Move data to the cloud in a timely way.

Expectations, culture, engagement, & training

The manufacturing industry is undergoing a transformation. Digitization of plant floors – from the internet of things, to artificial intelligence, mobility, and machine connectivity, brings technology to the forefront of operational strategies. Smart factories are no longer a competitive distinction – they’re a must for any manufacturer.

With so much focus on digital transformation, it’s easy to lose sight of what’s needed to successfully implement a digital strategy – an engaged workforce. New technologies impact employees in numerous ways, both on and off the clock.

This webinar will discuss how technology affects the employee experience and how to manage the shift to new practices to ensure a highly engaged and productive workforce.

During this webinar, you will:

• Learn how employee expectations and corporate cultures have evolved with the availability of new technologies
• Hear how Tyson has leveraged new technologies to engage and train their employees
• Gain insight into how to enhance the employee experience by leveraging digital workforce management technologies
