This is a manufacturing-centric seminar which highlights how plant downtime can be dramatically reduced by leveraging connected infrastructure technologies, including: plant floor Ethernet / wireless, centralized data center, server virtualization and more.
There is a ton of media attention on IoT (Internet of Things) and the trend toward the “Plant of the Future”. Our goal is to provide real-world examples of actual projects to help explain and clarify how technology solutions can immediately address real issues, which result in plant downtime.

Opening Remarks / Welcome
8:45 9:30
The Big Picture: Connected Factory
In this session we will discuss how the plants of the future incorporate the concepts of IoT to create an environment based on cross-platform collaboration and pervasive real-time communication, and how these rejuvenate productivity, reduce downtime & waste and increase profitability.
9:30 11:30
Bringing the Connected Factory to Life: Real-Life
In this session our panel will discuss their experiences in the design, execution and management of the Connected Factory. Topics will cover best-practices, known barriers, and unforeseen pitfalls. This is an interactive session where audience members are encouraged to pose questions for the panel.

1. Do you need to add a new physical server each time you add a new application?
2. If a server fails, will you experience downtime?
3. Does the speed of your desktop environment prohibit you from getting things done?
4. Has underperformance of any of your infrastructure technologies caused you downtime on your plant floor?
5. Is your OEE below 70%?
If you answer "YES" to any of these, and would like to better understand how targeted manufacturing technologies can help, this event is right for you.
