Truly transformed Smart Factories with connected people, assets and processes are the rare exception, when looking at the manufacturing landscape. Albeit the technologies to turn Industry 3.0 factories into Industry 4.0 Smart Factories have been established for quite some time now, we are struggling to leverage the potential of these technologies. There are two main reasons for that. Applications and infrastructure are not built to scale and the necessary transformation process is built around technology not people.

This presentation will present a Smart Factory vision, based on real life use cases, and the necessary steps to bring such a vision to life. In this Session you learn,

• Why the Unified Namespace is an enabler for Digital Transformation – beyond the Shop Floor
• The hard truth, why Smart Factory initiatives fail
• How to set up your organization for successful Digital Transformation
