WE DISCUSS

• Why 4IR matters: We delve into the essence of 4IR and its significance for modern manufacturing, highlighting the competitive edge it offers to those who embrace its technologies.
• The IT-OT convergence: We explore the critical role of integrating IT (software systems, data analytics) with OT (machinery and operations hardware) in achieving seamless, optimised production processes. This integration is the backbone of smart factories, enabling real-time decision-making, predictive maintenance, and customised production.
• IoT's role in manufacturing: We focus on the practical application of IoT technologies to facilitate direct communication between PLCs and MES. We discuss how IoT serves as a bridge, enabling devices and systems to "talk" to each other, thereby streamlining operations, enhancing production efficiency, and reducing downtime.
• Strategies for plant managers: Kudzai gives practical advice for plant managers on initiating and managing the digital transformation of their facilities. From selecting the right technologies to fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement, we'll provide insights into navigating the complexities of 4IR adoption.

Sinds 2019 is Nederland plots een metaalverpakkingsgigant rijker. Trivium Packaging, ontstaan door een fusie van het Amerikaanse Exal en het Luxemburgse Ardagh, heeft zijn hoofdkantoor gevestigd in Amsterdam. Met ruim 50 fabrieken en 8000 werknemers is het verantwoordelijk voor verpakkingen die in honderden supermarkten ter wereld op de schappen liggen. Hoe zorgt CIO Sjourd Wijdeveld dat de nieuwe combinatie daadkrachtig opereert en moderniseert?

Manufacturing is getting modernised as companies look to boost process efficiencies, create more resilient supply chains - and of course reduce costs.

Elon Musk redefined manufacturing through Tesla and SpaceX, where he leaned into new technologies to make his processes faster and better.

The manufacturing sector is now starting to look to startups and SaaS solutions.
Meet  Renan Devillieres, CEO of OSS Ventures, which developes and scales technology-driven businesses in the manufacturing space.

He joins us on A Seat at The Table to talk about how startups are shaping the future of manufacturing.  

In this podcast Renan discusses:

1. How manufactures can navigate the evolving landscape of SaaS in operations.

2. What manufactures might be overlooking about implementing SaaS in their businesses.

3. How even small manufacturers can use what is often seen as enterprise level applications.
