We all experience some form of notification fatigue. For manufacturing technicians, it is paramount to take action on alerts that are meaningful. We will share our journey in building a functional ML tool that automates the process of setting thresholds for industrial metric data to ensure users receive the right information at the right time.

We will discuss how to build a system of searches and models that allow for automated improvements for condition monitoring tools. Then, we will deep dive into functional logic that injects field experience and reasoning into statistical modeling for relevant results. We will also provide business value examples for OT implementations of Splunk monitoring industrial machine data.

Manufacturing companies today face more than just the challenge to create and build smart, connected, and more sustainable products, and bring them to market faster than their competitors. In this session, Siemens’ Dale Tutt and Anduril’s Tom McCarthy discuss the digital transformation architecture required to achieve rapid product development. They’ll draw upon McCarthy’s oversight of the Anduril Development Environment (ADE), used to engineer the future of military defense systems, offering key takeaways around how to achieve a high level of digital maturity in any manufacturing setting.

In the age of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and EdgeAI computing, the landscape of cybersecurity faces unprecedented challenges. Unlike traditional systems, AIoT and EdgeAI compute extend connectivity to a vast array of equipment, field devices, and employee gadgets. This connectivity revolutionizes automation and remote asset management, but introduces a wide array of security concerns.

In this talk, we will explore the vulnerabilities that are present when considering digital transformation of your manufacturing floor and we will show how Eurotech helps customers enable a standards-based security posture for customers’ AIoT applications at the Edge; all while accelerating their edge-to-cloud workloads.

Technologies such as AI, Industry 4.0, IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), and Blockchain are radically transforming all aspects of manufacturing, logistics, and supply chain, and more broadly industrial and consumer markets at large. However, they also come at a price in terms of energy consumption as the majority of these activities are presently in the cloud. In this talk, we explore a more balanced approach that couples edge, cloud, and “fog” computing (somewhere between the edge and the cloud) to create a more sustainable future where we can still achieve the tremendous efficiencies and gains that these technologies promise. The role of Connectivity Plus is discussed as one key enabler. The long-term benefits will be more control over data and insights at a local level (democratization of AI) as well as a more sustainable, decentralized path to digital transformation.

PLM and MES solutions are transforming product development. The ability to configure the applications to an organization’s circumstances increases the potential for significant efficiency/productivity gains. Industry 4.0, accelerated by the current remote/virtual environment, is creating new ways of working in product development and manufacturing. For organizations to realize full benefits and return on investment, the workforce must also be transformed: embedding critical next-gen skills among impacted employees and rewiring the organization for success. In this session, you’ll hear about several client case studies that will illustrate how to achieve effective change adoption and sustainment through time-tested approaches to effectively drive cultural change and adoption of PLM.
