Smart Manufacturing
F37: Reaching Zero Downtime and Zero Waste with Industry 4.0
*This conference session requires registration and payment.
Reducing unplanned downtime or minimizing scrap by even a few percentage points can yield millions of dollars in savings for manufacturers. Leading manufacturers leverage the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), machine learning and metrics to achieve shop-floor efficiency and productivity. The question is, does your organization have the necessary organizational and technical maturity to embark on Industry 4.0 and predictive analytics projects? You’ll be able to answer that question once you’ve attended this presentation on real-world applications of IIoT and Industry 4.0 to implement predictive analytics to drive near-zero downtime and waste in your manufacturing processes.This presentation will also discuss the “digital tools of the trade” that support Industry 4.0 with a systematic approach, with a focus on connectivity and data management, as well as the return on investment that can be wrung from Maintenance and Quality 4.0 projects.
