Embrace digital transformation at speed and scale for better resiliency, adaptability and value

Ever increasing demand, supply chain instability and rapidly evolving customer-driven manufacturing have put manufacturers like you on their toes. Disruption, innovation, and global reach are all reshaping how manufacturers respond to the pressure of customer demands, and competition. Manufacturing innovation will impact every aspect of the enterprise, from production and supply chain to workers. These challenges also trigger new opportunities to reimagine work and emerge with more agility, resiliency, adaptability and ingenuity with an environmental sustainability and Carbon Neutrality.

This event will bring together ISG advisors and industry experts to discuss and provide the pathways to navigate 2022 smart manufacturing complexities and digital patterns. Register for the ISG TechXchange: Smart Manufacturing to embrace digital transformation at speed and scale.

Event Themes

Digital Engineering: Integrating Data, Supply Chain & Customer Experience

IoT devices, IIoT-automated plants, engineering simulations and digitized customer experience all generate petabytes of data. Discover how to connect these “digital threads” to link information through a product’s lifecycle, improve your customer experience, and drive operating efficiency and quality

Decentralization & Digital Transformation in Execution

Manufacturing is moving into the next stage of digital transformation and “smart” decentralized control will inevitably become the necessary model, simplifying manufacturing processes and providing a greater overview of the entire value chain

People: Skills, Productivity & Organizational Change in an Agile Enterprise

The connected worker is more than just a mobile worker. Digital technologies and tools enable operational agility, manage risk, reduce errors, improve productivity and product quality.  Upskilling is essential to achieve true benefits of digital technologies.

Keynote Speaker

Jesper Touboel, Vice President, Operations, LEGO

Jesper is the head of one of LEGO moulding sites and qualification factories which include both advanced mass manufacturing and maturing of new emerging technologies. Jesper has furthermore delivered organizational footprint and technology strategies within Product Design and Equipment Manufacturing - establishing Engineering centers in LEGO manufacturing sites in Singapore, Mexico and Denmark..  During his work Jesper has profound focus on how IoT can support his visions and enable the future – a true IOT-technology evangelist.

ISG Smart Manufacturing Pulse Survey

ISG has conducted a survey of leading global manufacturers to gauge their objectives and progress on their Smart Manufacturing journey. 
 
It is clear from the data that Smart Manufacturing initiatives are currently targeting profitability over growth. More than half of the enterprises we surveyed state that either direct cost savings or indirect cost savings through waste reduction and sustainability are the top objectives for their Smart Manufacturing initiatives.

This reflects that operational data is available and can be immediately put to use to achieve them. We have seen a similar tendency in the early adoption of IoT, big data and automation systems, where businesses initially focused on using the data coming from those systems to validate their approach and strategy in using them. 
 
ISG believes that business growth will absolutely be an outcome of the adoption of Smart Manufacturing in the long run. Attendees of the TechXchange: Smart Manufacturing will hear and receive first-hand results of the survey. 
 

2021 Event Highlights

Relive the insights, the trends and solutions we presented at the 2021 Americas TechXchange: Smart Manufacturing event.  

Your Health & Safety comes first.

ISG hosts our in-person events in locations that meet our health and safety criteria to help ensure the well-being of our participants, partners, and team members. These criteria include adhering to government, venue, and health agency guidelines, as well as taking practical safety precautions onsite, to help ensure the safest possible experience for our attendees. While we anticipate that these standards may evolve prior to the event, more information about the current approach and onsite safety measures will be provided as we near the event date.
