The Industrial Design Engineering & Automation Conference

Driving Excellence Through Diversity and Inclusion

While the Factory Automation industry continues steady growth, Mechatronic Linear solutions are getting smarter. Can they help you be faster to market?

Manufacturers are still talking about digitizing their manufacturing floor and deciding if they should invest or not. In this presentation, Mo Abuali has some key messages for the attendees:

• Act now and build the business case for Industrial IoT and Industry 4.0, and get started.
• Data first! Digitalization is from the past; Predictive Analytics and Artificial Intelligence is the future.
• Industry 4.0 is all about people, process, and technology. Empower your operators and personnel with paperless human-machine interfacing and improve their productivity.
• Think big, start small, and think ROI (return on investment). Take a systematic path to drive the right technology adoption, and scale your digital maturity.

Following COVID-19, it will be even more crucial for the industry to adapt and change to help ensure that future resilience and adoption of the Factory of the Future (FoF) is key. Your business needs to be equipped for the now, next and beyond, taking immediate steps to safeguard business continuity and initiate crisis planning while developing a resilient enterprise going forward. This will allow you to reframe your future, operate a “new normal” and transform to succeed.

A look at how additive manufacturing, robotics and other cutting edge technologies are being adopted, how to ensure such technologies also consider the human element, and how to train and prepare all aspects of your organization for the transformation.
