Many organizations have successfully achieved a digital plant maturity level consistent with the Connected Plant, and they are now striving to achieve the operational benefits of a Predictive Plant and an Adaptive Plant. Unfortunately, legacy systems are typically built upon dedicated data management solutions, creating a myriad of Manufacturing Execution Silos within a production facility’s digital landscape. Boundless Automation delivers an operating foundation, built from the value stream up, that allows organizations to pursue their Predictive Plant and Adaptive Plant aspirations without being hampered by data silos. In this session, you will learn more about:

• The key challenges and obstacles that hinder higher levels of digital maturity in manufacturing organizations.
• The next generation of industrial technology and how contextualized, democratized data can drive real-world results.
• Effective technology strategies to future-proof your manufacturing systems and ensure long-term adaptability.

• What are the biggest operations management challenge that your organization is facing?
• What drivers does your organization focus on when prioritizing technology investments?
• How do you address integration of legacy technologies with new technology installations?
• As the footprint of digital technology grows within your organization, how do you ensure that data integrity is maintained without stifling rapid progress?
• What best practices have you observed regarding taking a risk-based approach to system qualification and change control?

In the Harvesting Session the World Café moderators will summarize the results of their discussions and present key findings.
