Manufacturers are under pressure to drive digital transformation that increases productivity while adding flexibility to the factory floor. Key drivers of this technological step change include the need to reduce operating costs and improve efficiency while facing skills shortages and lack of visibility across the supply chain.
Recognizing this important time for manufacturers, world of design — Essential resources for engineers and manufacturing executives robot report Sister site — Digital Innovation Forum launches May 1-2, 2024 at Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
This unmissable event will delve deeper into technology integration for manufacturing, discussing not only the 'why' but also the 'how' of digital transformation. Successful digital deployment case studies will be highlighted, with a focus on strategies that improve operational efficiency and market competitiveness.
Digital Transformation Forum to share expert advice
The opening keynote speaker will be Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) expert Walker Reynolds, solutions architect and founder of Intellic Integration. Reynolds outlines the important first steps needed to navigate the digital realm in manufacturing.
Day 2 keynote speakers will feature Anthony DeTullio, reliability engineer at Sikorsky Lockheed Martin, and Chris Gilman, industrial transformation program manager at Strategic Maintenance Solutions. The two will discuss adaptive artificial intelligence for machine data. Together, they built a machine learning tool that automates the process of setting thresholds on industrial measurement data to ensure users receive the right information at the right time.
Other sessions explore different aspects of digital transformation in manufacturing, including the role of AI in predictive maintenance, IoT integration for real-time data analytics, and the impact of cloud computing on product development and supply chain management. Interactive sessions will focus on understanding the risks and rewards of digital transformation, addressing cybersecurity challenges, and evaluating the return on digital investments.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to network with peers, share experiences, and learn from the successes and failures of others already on their digital transformation journey.
This comprehensive agenda aims to equip participants with a holistic understanding of digital transformation in manufacturing and equip them to navigate the complexities of the new digital era and seize real opportunities.
Learn from Agility Robotics, Amazon, Disney, Teradyne, and more.
Attend with an all-inclusive package
Registration is now open and discounts are available for academics, associations and corporate groups. The Digital Transformation Forum is held in conjunction with two popular events: Robotics Summit & Expo and DeviceTalks Boston.
Robotics Summit & Expo is the world's leading robotics development event, providing engineers with the information they need to successfully develop the next generation of commercial robots. DeviceTalks is the premier industry event for healthcare technology professionals, attracting engineering and business professionals with a broad range of healthcare and medtech backgrounds.
Attendees of the Digital Innovation Forum will have access to both the event and the integrated exhibition hall. More than 100 exhibitors will present live demonstrations and new technologies that will contribute to the industrial revolution.
