In today’s fast-paced supply chain, the speed at which executives must make decisions, utilizing vast amounts of data, is rapidly accelerating. The combination of speed, data, and new technologies are collapsing the supply chain, turning what has traditionally been a linear and siloed process into a dynamic Digital Supply Network.

 

We will explore how companies can capitalize on Digital Supply Networks, including ways to:

  • Make sense of the increasing complex landscape of technologies

  • Understand Implications of IoT & PLM

  • Prepare for key challenges that lie ahead

9:15 – 10:15 am

Panel 1: IIoT and the Role of PLM Tools and Methodologies

 

Moderator: Nathan Hartman

Conrad Leiva – VP Product Strategy and Alliances, iBASEt

Mike Nicholas – Manufacturing Programs, Microsoft

Jeff Gleeson – Senior Manager Manufacturing Systems, Lockheed Martin

 

This panel will focus on the technology and process intersections of IIoT and PLM, viewed from different perspectives.  Goal is for an extended discussion on how PLM tools and methods will be required to fully realize, or not, benefits from IIoT enabled products and processes, as well as how IIoT tools can help PLM realize its unfulfilled promises.

10:15 – 10:45 am

Networking Break

10:45 – 11:45 am

Panel 2: Developing an IIoT Enabled Workforce

 

Moderator: Nathan Hartman

Vearl Turnpaugh – Associate VP Applied Engineering/Technical Education, Ivy Tech Community College

Dr. Robert L. Nida – Director, Indiana Next-generation Manufacturing Competitiveness Center (IN-MaC)

James Greenan – Professor, Career and Technical Education

 

This panel is motivated by the emergence of Industry 4.0 and the increasing workforce development efforts across many manufacturing sectors. In addition, the acknowledgement that current technical curricula will need to be revamped and new curricula developed to accommodate such a fundamental change to manufactured products and processes.  What are the new knowledge, skills, and abilities needed?  What degree programs and career positions are most affected?

11:45 am – 12:30 pm

Networking Break

2:45 – 3:30 pm

Presentation 3: PLM and IIoT – An Interconnected View

Mike Nicholas and Irina Petrakova-Otto – Manufacturing Programs, Microsoft

IIoT implementations will require systems interoperability, the ability guarantee real-time control and predictability when potentially thousands of devices communicate simultaneously, and the ability to prevent malicious seizure of highly networked production systems and products.  The manufacturing industry has encountered this scenario for decades as they developed various products and other networked systems-of-systems.  What lessons can be learned as they work to integrate PLM and IIoT systems?

3:30 – 4:15 pm

Presentation 4: iBASEt  "What Does the Digital Thread Look Like? – Today and Tomorrow"

Conrad Leiva – VP Product Strategy and Alliances, iBASEt

​​Download the presentation (PDF)

The Digital Thread refers to the communication framework that allows a connected data flow and integrated view of the asset’s data throughout its lifecycle across traditionally siloed functional perspectives. The digital thread concept raises the bar for delivering “the right information to the right place at the right time”. What does the Digital Thread look like today between Engineering and downstream systems like Production and Maintenance Operations? We will discuss this topic with examples of processes enabled 3D models throughout the product lifecycle including 3D illustrated instructions, automated inspection, and augmented reality.

4:15 – 4:30 pm
