Why You Should Attend

Manufacturers are bombarded by vendors selling the latest technology. While it is important to understand what these technology providers have to offer, how does a manufacturer know where to start? Which technology is best for a plant? Rather than start with a question about technology, manufacturers need to develop a strategy for the deployment of smart manufacturing that helps them achieve their business goals.

No one wants to become the next Blockbuster Video, out of business because they did not adopt new strategies and technologies to drive their business results. Competitors are already adopting smart manufacturing strategies and becoming more productive as well as attracting today's young talent. The first step in the smart manufacturing journey is to educate oneself as to what smart manufacturing is and then how to develop and implement a smart manufacturing strategy. This workshop provides the necessary information to get started.
