OPTIMISING MANUFACTURING EFFICIENCY
14:00 - 14:45

Panel Discussion

Manufacturing Success: How to Optimise operation efficiency and cost using digital tools

The recent business climate has been unpredictable. Manufacturers worldwide strive to operate more cost-efficiently without compromising product quality or quantity. However, the answer isn't to lay off employees or continue using outdated technology in favour of modern alternatives to save costs. Cost management strategies and financial planning technology are key to maximising operational efficiencies in an uncertain environment. Does Optimising Manufacturing Efficiency come with a hefty cost? This session will discuss how manufacturers can effectively achieve both.

Fire Side Chat - Empowering Smart Factories

2) How addressing your "Hidden Factory" can boost your transition to a "Green Factory”?

What is a Hidden Factory? Hidden Factory is decreased quality or inefficiency of a manufacturer. It represents the untapped capacity of the manufacturing plant. It is a set of activities or undocumented processes. The Hidden Factory involves non-visible costs, inefficient processes and wasteful operations. The Hidden Factory houses profit reducers and waste increases. Waste is money, time, materials, and other resources.

SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING
10:00 - 10:30

Sustainability and climate action Demystifying ESG for Manufacturing

Speaker
10:30 - 10:50

Keynote 1 - Reality Check on Sustainability and ROI: Does sustainability affect profitability?

As the topic continues to become more significant for consumers, businesses must embrace sustainability. This will only become more important as new challenges, and disruptions are expected. The exhaustion of essential commodities, or the threat of compliance costs, such as carbon or landfill taxes, are just some of the issues businesses must be prepared for. Companies must be prepared for future sustainability challenges; those making the right decisions will ultimately see a return on investment.

The big question is - 

  • Reality check - Although the C-suites for most manufacturing companies understand the need to focus on sustainability, there’s a considerable gap in putting strategies into practice. Why so?
  • How and where are you currently with the sustainability agenda for your organisation? What’s the industry benchmark? Regional comparison
  • Is profitability the main reason for this gap?
  • How can businesses stay profitable while they invest to achieve their net-zero targets?
  • How can companies proactively respond to increased stakeholder demands while delivering quality products and services and maintaining financial performance?
  • Can manufacturers generate substantial financial and environmental benefits from sustainable manufacturing?

Speaker
10:50 - 11:35

Panel Discussion

Technology Trends that will drive energy efficiency in achieving carbon neutrality

As our world is changing rapidly, recent challenges in energy security, energy prices and living cost have intersected with the climate crisis. This makes energy efficiency more indispensable than ever. Without early action on efficiency, the energy transition to net zero emissions will be more expensive and much more challenging to achieve.

The manufacturing sector is moving away from traditional norms and adopting innovative best practices to transform digitally. Energy-efficient production means more than simply reducing energy consumption, CO₂ emissions, or costs – it also involves linking energy and production data to analyse and optimise energy consumption and the energy productivity of machines, plants, and processes. These measures provide the opportunity to achieve all-round improvements in process productivity and efficiency.

When it comes to bringing energy efficiency to your business, where should you begin? And how can you implement quick and easy changes without affecting your long-term strategy?

Green Sustainable Journey: Road to Net Zero

Companies have decided to make their plants sustainable. Achieving net zero is a journey. Reaching this target requires a broad spectrum of additional automation solutions, not just analytics, wireless sensors, and advanced control, but also regulators and even proximity switches for emissions monitoring and control as well as efficiency monitoring and optimization. Learn how other plants use automation to become more sustainable.

Speaker
13:35 - 14:20

Panel Discussion

Digital Supply Chain Ecosystem: How digitalisation makes the supply chain more reliable, resilient, agile and customer-focused

Today’s global supply chains are designed to operate with high reliability, at the lowest possible cost, in a steady-state environment. Unfortunately, supply chains have lately been unreliable. At the heart of all this activity sits the digital supply chain, and it is key to the operations of every company that manufactures or distributes anything. Indeed, for many companies, the supply chain is the business. It extends the vertical integration of all corporate functions to the horizontal dimension, knitting together relevant players — the suppliers of raw materials and parts, the production process itself, warehousers and distributors of finished products, and finally, the customer. This session will discuss how these elements enable the digital supply chain and, more importantly, how they work together.

Speaker Moderator
14:20 - 14:40

Procurement 4.0: How does procurement digitalisation boost supply chain integration?

Digitising procurement will radically change the tools and talents required, add new categories to be sourced, and transform the value proposition of the procurement function.
Efficient integration and management of raw materials and parts suppliers is a critical building block in the digital supply chain ecosystem. This session will dive deeply into some of the benefits and use case studies on digital procurement.
