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.
SOUTHEAST Session: Manufacturing leaders face unprecedented cybersecurity challenges as technology accelerates. This session provides a clear view of the current cybersecurity landscape, practical strategies to build visibility, strengthen IT reliability, and safeguard against emerging risks like Shadow AI. Cybersecurity expert Ryan Benson will cut through the myths of AI, highlight governance as a critical defense, and outline the key actions you should prioritize today to help you navigate cybersecurity.
