How manufacturers can create value at scale with IoT technology from edge to cloud

Session Abstract:

Manufacturing need to improve their industrial operations. But historical methods for getting to the next level of improvement no longer deliver the performance that is needed to thrive. Today’s environment requires operations managers to:
• Visualize various data sources to get a 360° view on their operations from MES, ERP, LIMS, Data historian to IoT and sensor data.
• Optimize processes so that process variability can be explained in terms of yield and energy consumption, and optimal setpoints can be fed back to operators in real time.
• Predict maintenance and schedule required maintenance and spare parts ordering automatically.
• Analyze quality parameters to determine drivers of product quality and use prediction models to help steer process parameters to optimize EOL quality.
• Uncover new insights into operations and supply chain through real-time KPI reporting to engineers and control room operators.
If you’re stuck in a pilot project, unable to scale, or unclear where analytics can make a difference in your operations, this Keynote Panel will be very informative. Join SAS, Proximus and Microsoft to learn more about five key ingredients needed on the road to value at scale with advanced analytics for manufacturers globally.
