What does the Smart Manufacturing for Automotive Virtual Summit cover?
Ongoing pressure from tightening margins and increasing competition, is driving automotive manufacturers to optimize their manufacturing processes and streamline their operations using emerging technology.
Automotive OEM and contractors have already begun to take advantage of Industry 4.0, Smart Manufacturing, IoT devices, connected machinery and data-driven operations as a way of transforming their operations into something more automated, efficient and cost-effective.
Whilst the benefits of technology are clear; automotive manufacturers are struggling to bridge the gap between IT and OT and ensure they can seamlessly deploy and integrate new technologies with current processes without disrupting production.
Format explained:
Our event model leverages several learning and networking formats to maximize your opportunity to collaborate and solve problems. By using a combination of presentation, roundtable, tech demo and one-to-one formats, attendees will create their own agenda that will enable them to
benchmark against competitors, collaboratively solve problems with a group of peers and learn about the latest tech that can support business objectives.
With this in mind, we will unite smart manufacturing specialists from leading North American automotive manufacturers, enabling you to:
Forecast future trends and leverage automotive smart manufacturing and industry 4.0 technology
Define, develop and execute a smart manufacturing roadmap
Deploy and integrate new technologies within existing processes
Build the business case and obtain funding for trials and full-scale projects
