Practical strategies to apply a digital transformation vision and roll out plan to a manufacturing enterprise will be discussed. The speakers will dive into the future of manufacturing, discussing the key factors you should consider including: equipping your teams with the right equipment, choosing compatible tools, and general strategies for success.
Standard Industries is currently implementing Braincube as an IIoT platform and advanced analytics tool across their factories. Standard Industries is assisting it's lines of business in strategizing and executing on a large scale architecture that can bring data seamlessly into IoT endpoints. From reporting, to continuous improvement efforts, and Edge computing, Standard Industries and its affiliates have reimagined their data use and capabilities to find additional value through IIoT strategies. By equipping their employees with high functioning tools that help them improve both their day-to-day operations and their long-term strategies, they’ve found Braincube to be a key partner in their digital transformation initiatives.

The promise of additive manufacturing/3D printing has not yet been fully realized on a mass scale, but it is being utilize to customize products and parts in the automotive and medical device industries, to name a few. Although the technology has evolved to include metals manufacturing as well as more color options, many say it is not ready for prime time use on a mass scale. What are the ideal use cases of 3D printing now in manufacturing operations? What are the true potentials of the technology in the future?

Digital twin simulation has been successfully used cost effectively for product design and development, as well as factory line simulation for productivity improvements for several years at LEGO. Now the company is leveraging all of its lessons learned to apply Digital Twin for the first time to its newest factory design and construction, simulating everything before the first brick is laid.
Learn how Digital Twin is helping LEGO:
Identify under-utilized and over-utilized machines and lines in the factory to better leverage investments
Recognize operational bottlenecks and remove them
How it has applied Digital Twin to factory line design and redesigns, which now are enabling LEGO to take the technology to simulate all aspects of a full factory design

While many manufacturers have successfully migrated data and information to the Cloud, latency and costs, among other factors, have some exploring edge computing. While IT seem to prefer Cloud computing, OT is intrigued by the possibilities of edge computing. What are the pros and cons of each? What other technologies and connectivity are needed to support edge computing on factory floors? What is the optimal mix of Edge vs. Cloud?
