F193: Disrupting Information Flow and Data Analytics with Integrated Software Technologies to Forecast Smooth Operations in Challenging Times

With the emergence of new technologies there is a huge opportunity for manufacturers to bridge the communications gaps that occur in manufacturing processes. What are those technologies and how can they be used to harness data collected throughout the manufacturing cycle? How can shops of all sizes capture and analyze information to make better use of raw materials to generate less scrap, source raw materials at reasonable costs, and ensure that procedures are followed consistently? Mr. Chakraborty will explore the technologies behind successful Machine Connectivity and Communication and how Machine Learning and AI can be used to analyze data in ways never imagined. Attendees will learn tips to recognize data availability for Machine Learning and analyze shop floor trends for forecasting and planning; digital technologies that capture data for accurate quoting, faster process times, and improved on-time deliveries; and examples of companies that have integrated their machines and systems successfully.
