Description
The COVID-19 pandemic has sent a shockwave through the manufacturing industry, disrupting supply chains, halting production and, in some cases, shuttering factories altogether. This crisis has made it abundantly clear that Industry 4.0 technologies will be critical to the resilience of advanced manufacturing. In fact, their implementation will be accelerated as companies move to return to work in a new normal that will require enhanced health and safety measures.
Join Automation Alley and SRI for a virtual discussion on the importance of Industry 4.0 technologies in the era of COVID-19. Learn how smart and connected technologies are providing manufacturers with invaluable real-time intelligence, and why the need for these solutions is more important than ever.
Topics will include:
- Flexible manufacturing lines: How automated guided vehicles can help with social distancing.
- Knowledge capture: How sensors and data are ensuring the next generation of workers are prepared.
- Augmented reality: How to turn coded knowledge into virtual training in a COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 environment.
Guest:
Peter Marcotullio, Vice President, Global Partnerships, SRI
