Rethink – Accelerating Digital Transformation in Manufacturing

Rethink – Accelerating Digital Transformation in Manufacturing

No matter where you are on the digital manufacturing journey, Rethink is a must-attend event to learn aspirational best practices, discover real-world case studies, and network with other leaders who are guiding the way to Manufacturing 4.0
Power Panel: Building a Data Strategy for the Future* | 2:10 p.m.
To enable manufacturers to truly embrace and reap the benefits of Manufacturing 4.0, a data management strategy that encompasses a corpus of needs must be devised and implemented by operational leaders. These needs include standards, architecture, data models, AI-ready data and operational AI at scale. This panel will examine how converging pressures—scaling digital solutions beyond pilot environments, integrating heterogeneous legacy and modern systems, and operationalizing data as a strategic asset — are reshaping the requirements for industrial architectures and the processes for applying data.
