This session is about the seamless integration of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) to digitalize and automate manufacturing processes. By leveraging advanced technologies such as IoT, AI, and data analytics, production processes can be optimized, equipment efficiency improved, and real-time monitoring and control enabled. This convergence enables better decision-making, predictive maintenance, and overall operational excellence in manufacturing facilities. Digitalized manufacturing equipment not only increases productivity but also enhances quality, reduces downtime, and ensures a more agile and competitive manufacturing environment. In this session, we share our real-life learnings in setting up a strategic process and our best practices in implementing IIoT and AI for manufacturing.
In this session we will discuss how,
