More and more manufacturing companies and chemical firms are embracing the concept of utilising Industry 4.0 / Smart Manufacturing technologies, such as Industrial Internet of Things and big data analytics. A logical development: these innovations are key to becoming the most sustainable and competitive materials and chemicals companies in Western-Europa.
Programme: trend and speaker highlights
At the Round Table hosted on Thursday July 13 by Sitech and CGI – proud ambassadors of Smart Industry – you can discover the possibilities offered by Industry 4.0 / Smart Manufacturing. Find out more about all the latest trends and developments:
- Marc Dassen, Managing Director Sitech Services BV, will welcome you and start the Round Table.
- Paul Cobben (KPN) and Hans van Veen (CGI) will provide a stimulating introduction to Industry 4.0 /Smart Manufacturing. Both speakers have worked as ‘smart industry’ ambassadors. You will be introduced to current key trends, partially based on CGI’s Global 1000 and the global MES Product Survey. Industry 4.0 can be disruptive and offer a wealth of new opportunities, but there are challenges, too. Reason enough to place his topic high on your management agenda. Following the Round Table, you will receive a copy of the whitepaper Van Veen has authored about Industry 4.0 and the related digital transformation.
- Geerten Peek’s (CGI) presentation will zoom in on Smart Energy Management. He will outline a formidable challenge to our world in general and industry in particular: the energy transition. Peek will guide you through the world of smart factories, smart buildings and smart grids and share insights into reducing energy consumption though implementing best practices (and saving up to 25% on your energy expenditure!).
- One of the most noteworthy Industry 4.0 topics is predictive maintenance: the precise predicting of asset behaviour. Richard Schouten (Sitech) will discuss developments in the field of Asset Health at Sitech. Research indicates it is possible to save up to 40% on maintenance costs and increase the efficiency of factories and installations: thanks to The Internet of Things and predictive scenarios provided by big data analytics, maintenance only needs to be carried out when genuinely necessary.
- When introducing Internet of Things into production environments, a well-thought approach to cybersecurity is essential. John Verberkmoes (CGI) explains how IoT may be safely introduced into industrial environments.
- Our Round Table discussion offers even more inspiration: join our Round Table speakers and other participants in this unique opportunity to discover which industry-based Enterprise initiatives might help your business become more competitive and sustainable. Subjects discussed throughout the day (Smart Energy Management, cybersecurity and predictive maintenance) will be explored further.
After the event, there will be drinks and plenty of opportunity to talk with all the people present.
