  • Summary

  • Industry 4.0 changes everything. Automation and built-in intelligence make a difference at every step of your business, helping you deliver individualized products and services with the efficiency of mass production.The digitization of the industrial production environment in factories, plants, and warehouses is driven by technology innovations which appeared in the aftermath of the Internet and cloud revolution: Internet of Things (IoT) connecting devices, machine-to-machine communication, distributed computing, new edge and cloud technologies, times series and big data lakes, machine learning and artificial intelligence, new mobile user experiences (e.g. augmented or virtual reality) to enable digital workers, autonomous systems and vehicles.

  • Industry 4.0 and The Next Generation of Mobility for Riders – NOT Drivers!

    Industry 4.0 and The Next Generation of Mobility for Riders – NOT Drivers!
    Sep 24 2020
    The buzz: “Next Gen Mobility: Some people say it’s all about the journey…Anyone who can successfully implement a change in the way we use our automobiles will transform our society, and will likely reap considerable rewards…” (journal.businesstoday.org). “By 2030, the automotive landscape will be defined by more sustainable, safer and convenient ways of moving around…” (www.te.com) The next generation of mobility is for riders, leveraging technology to design new ways to make time spent between places more useful, social and fun. And Industry 4.0 plays a key role from the design of smart autonomous vehicles, through manufacturing in smart factories, and ultimately to how riders, purchase or not, consume as a service, operate safely, maintain proactively and protect autonomous vehicles on the roads. We’ll ask Bruce Baumgartner at Zoox, Tobias Hoffmeister at MHP, and Tom Madonna at SAP for their insights on Industry 4.0 and The Next Generation of Mobility for Riders – NOT Drivers!

    Encore Delivering on the Industry 4.0 Vision: Leverage Your Ecosystem
    Sep 10 2020
    The buzz: “While optimism prevails, companies have achieved varying degrees of success in implementing Industry 4.0” (mckinsey.com, 2016). You want to deliver on the Industry 4.0 vision. Great! You’ll need digital transformation, especially in an existing facility, including automation, integration, and optimization of processes and manufacturing lines. Straightforward? Not! Transformation can span multiple solutions, plus onboarding and connectivity of multiple equipment, including brownfield, from numerous vendors. To be successful, you need a common agreement among vendors over standardized compatible connectivity; an extensible edge computing platform architecture; interoperability between Industry 4.0/IIoT solutions and semantic models of assets; and tight collaboration between OEMs and Operators. We’ll ask KUKA’s Dr. Christian Liedtke, Beckhoff’s Gerd Hoppe, and SAP’s Nils Herzberg how to get it done. Join us for Delivering on the Industry 4.0 Vision: Leverage Your Ecosystem.

  • Industry 4.0: Augmenting Humans to Empower Productivity and Decision-Making

    Industry 4.0: Augmenting Humans to Empower Productivity and Decision-Making
    Aug 27 2020
    The buzz: “Sawyer the Robot will work for the equivalent of $4 per day. And he's never in a bad mood. Can you compete with that?” Sawyer is the brainchild of Rodney Brooks, the inventor of robotic vacuum Roomba and PackBot, the robot used to clear bunkers in Iraq and Afghanistan and at the World Trade Center after 9/11. (newsweek.com) No matter how far Industry 4.0 automation goes, manufacturers will ALWAYS need humans to fill roles that cannot be automated – completing complex tasks and making intuitive decisions. The key is to define what roles do and don’t need human intervention. The goal: augment humans with Industry 4.0, not replace them. AI doesn’t take the person out of the process, it takes the robot out of the person. As the degree of automation increases, so does decision-making complexity. We’ll ask W. David Stephenson at Stephenson Strategies and Richard Howells at SAP for their insights on Industry 4.0: Augmenting Humans to Empower Productivity and Decision-Making.
