SOUTHEAST Session: As global manufacturing enters the next wave of industrial transformation, the convergence of digital threads and IoT is reshaping the way products are designed, built, and maintained. A digital thread creates a seamless flow of data across the product lifecycle — from design and engineering to production and aftermarket service. When paired with IoT-enabled smart factories, this integration unlocks unprecedented operational visibility, agility, and intelligence. This session explores how manufacturers are leveraging IoT to create connected ecosystems that power predictive maintenance, real-time quality control, autonomous operations, and closed-loop decision-making. We will discuss practical frameworks for implementing digital threads and highlight ROI-driven success stories from discrete and process manufacturing. Participants will walk away with a clear understanding of: The role of IoT sensors, edge computing, and AI in transforming factory floors Use cases that demonstrate measurable gains in OEE, sustainability, and workforce efficiency A roadmap for integrating IoT into existing manufacturing systems without disrupting operations This talk is essential for manufacturing leaders looking to accelerate their Industry 4.0 journey and future-proof their operations through connected intelligence.

SOUTHEAST Session: Manufacturing facilities generate vast amounts of visual data daily, yet most struggle to extract actionable insights from this untapped resource. This presentation demonstrates how Vision AI transforms existing camera infrastructure into intelligent systems that improve operational efficiency and reduce costs. We will explore practical deployment strategies that deliver measurable ROI within months. Attendees will learn how computer vision can be used for: detecting microscopic defects invisible to human inspectors, real-time SOP and process monitoring, automated inventory tracking, equipment utilization analysis, enhancing the safety culture and automating order accuracy verification. The session covers the complete implementation lifecycle—from identifying high-impact use cases to production deployment. We'll examine how Vision AI solutions can be integrated with your existing equipment and software. Attendees will leave with a clear framework for building their Vision AI roadmap, understanding both the technical requirements and organizational changes needed for successful adoption. Whether you're exploring initial pilots or scaling existing deployments, this presentation provides actionable strategies for leveraging Vision AI to reduce costs, improve quality, and accelerate your smart manufacturing transformation.
