July 12, 2016 - Tokyo, Japan
Industrial companies are under a lot of pressure to produce more effectively, even though they don’t have unlimited resources. Additionally, as business-to-business technologies further enable a true global economy, tremendous price pressures will force manufacturers to drive any inefficiencies out of their processes to stay competitive. Taking new approaches cannot be postponed, while new technologies constantly change the rules of the game, offering the potential to achieve quantum improvements in process efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Expressed by using terms such as Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), Smart Manufacturing, Industrie 4.0, Digitalization, and Connected Enterprise, these concepts are clearly moving past the mere concept stage to the point where real solutions are emerging, backed by strong associated business cases.
At this unique event, successful global leaders will speak of their strategies, technologies, and business practices on the following topics:
- Connected Devices, Smart Sensing with Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)/Industrie 4.0
- Cybersecurity and Safety Integrated Automation Systems
- Predictive Maintenance/Analytics/Asset Performance Management
- Next-Generation Production Systems and Operation Systems
The panel discussion supported by The Society of Instrument and Control Engineers (SICE) will present a second stage of discussion, titled, “The Challenges in Achieving the Information-Driven Production System.”
Forum participants typically include over 200 senior industry executives, directors and managers from across the global manufacturing, engineering, IT operations and maintenance, utilities and social infrastructure operations, and supply chain/logistics communities; also in attendance are representatives from academia and the business trade media.
