Presentation: “Factory of the Future – Connected, Smart, Sustainable”
Organisational excellence cannot be assured by focusing internally. Customer demands are forever changing and simpler, single-point supply chains have been prone to delays and sometimes failure. In the middle of all that, businesses seek production efficiencies and look to leverage physical and data automation. In this session, we explore the challenge and position a vision for a connected future with a smarter factory at the centre – enabling profitable growth, supporting future agility and empowering efforts towards sustainability.

Presentation: Smart Manufacturing 4.0
The manufacturing community has been actively exploring ways to reap tangible returns from Industry 4.0 investment, while Industry 4.0 concept adoption, POC, roadmap, and budget allocation is still a work in progress. According to Gartner’s report, $2 trillion was spent worldwide among one million manufacturing entities. The end goal of most investments is to build a smart manufacturing implementation, and leverage emerging technologies such as advanced robotics, cloud and 3D printing, with robust cybersecurity support. A holistic approach is needed, which takes into consideration the integration of people, technology and process, to achieve a “Smart Manufacturing” vision which ensures ROI for all manufacturing stakeholders.
