Manufacturing firms are embracing Digital Transformation and leveraging AI and Big (Smart) Data metrics to achieve greater efficiency and productivity on its shop floor. The interactions of the real and virtual worlds are the backbone of such smart production founded on the principles of Lean. The interconnection of ‘things’ with Industrial IoT (IIoT)-based technology is leading the way to a truly transparent manufacturing environment, the Smart Factory that directly translate into bottom line business results. This presentation will: educate the audience on the principles of Digital Transformation, Industry 4.0, the Industrial Internet of Things IIoT; and how manufacturers are leveraging AI-based technologies to look at Asset Health and Diagnostics, as well as predict the remaining useful life of equipment in real time, achieving significant productivity improvements; and present real Case Studies with ROI from automotive tier-1 client to shed the light on how we transformed from a “fail and fix” to a “predict and prevent” maintenance approach.
