Join Anthony Younan in a presentation on the intersection of corporate sustainability goals and digitalization measurement strategies.

Overview

If you are building a new factory your investment objectives go far beyond a highly productive and efficient facility. You need a factory suited for today and for twenty years from now - one with an infrastructure that is adaptable, sustainable, and employee-centric.

If you are implementing new technologies into an existing factory you need a road map that balances goals and objectives relative to an efficient factory floor with corporate and long-term goals such as future plant flexibility, equipment life cycle, operating costs, and CO2 emission targets.

This session will explore how to build and how to operate a smart factory to meet corporate goals and factory floor requirements.
