AI FOR THE FACTORY FLOOR: HARNESS SMART FACTORY DATA FOR MAXIMUM VALUE AND REDUCED RISK

Free Seminar | 12th Oct, 2023 | Coventry

Featuring Presentations, Case Studies and Insights From:

Manufacturers are embracing data science and AI technologies to collect, analyse and gain insights from their shop floor data; finding new ways to meet their sustainability goals, lower the cost of production, avoid downtime, improve quality, and bring more products to market faster. Organisations yet to leverage their manufacturing data may be leaving profits on the table or running the risk of falling short of their customers’ expectations.

This free to attend seminar provides a fantastic opportunity to learn how other manufacturers are utilising data to identify hidden anomalies and delivering insights for next-level monitoring and maintenance of their manufacturing assets. Through a combination of presentations and live demonstrations, our presenters will provide practical advice for you to take back to your workplace.
