Accelerating Digital Transformation in Manufacturing

Alberto Pinzello, Sales Executive, IoT & AR, Rockwell Automation

  • More and more companies perceive value in digital transformation. However, several companies appear to be stuck in “pilot project purgatory”. What could the approach be to accelerate the business outcomes?
  • Companies have nowadays tons of data, but often reside on separate OT & IT systems. It is therefore crucial to access and connect multiple data sources to provide real-time insight to the right person at the right time
  • Unplanned downtime can be mitigated by the adoption of real-time monitoring, diagnostic and predictive analytics. What is the effort to implement such analyses?
  • A shortage of skilled workers combined with increasing product and operations complexity is causing an industrial workforce crisis. How could technology help?

Vertical System Integration on Manufacturing

Ricardo Narciso Schiochet, Digital Manufacturing Regional Leader - LATAM, Kimberly-Clark

Challenges:
  • One of the 9 pillars from the basic concept of Industry 4.0
  • Time consumption to capture data and not reliable to make fast and precise decisions
  • Level system are well integrated. Level system are NOT well integrated across each other
  • Business processes are not accurate and time demanding

Actions/Results:
  • KPIs in real time
  • Problem solving will be more accurate
  • Business process gets optimised
  • Quality performance increases and waste decreases
  • Traceability from raw material through finished good products way more accurate
  • Right security for the right role and activities
