Lunch & Networking
 
1:00 PM - 1:15 PM
Introduction, Christine Wehrsig, Account Manager OSIsoft
 
1:15 PM - 1:45 PM
Keynote: Digital Agility in the Evolving World of Industry 4.0 and IIoT, Bruce Becwar, Director of Sales, EMEA
Automation, IIoT, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Reality – the next decade promises to be the digital revolution of the industrial world. Our challenge is integrating legacy systems and assets with new technologies to harness the explosion of data to drive new opportunities without risking existing operations. This keynote will cover the challenges of the digital revolution and best practices for success and highlights how a data infrastructure strategy can support organizations invest in an agile ecosystem of edge, enterprise and cloud technologies.
1:45 PM - 2:15 PM
Condition Based Maintenance (CBM): Just Right, Just-in-Time Maintenance, Christine Wehrsig, Account Manager, OSIsoft
We are being asked to run equipment longer, faster and harder with less resources while minimizing failures. Condition based maintenance takes a data driven approach to maximizing the performance of your assets and maintenance schedules.  Discover through drag and drop configuration how the PI System can be used for condition based maintenance. Configure digital representations of your assets, calculate key performance indicators (KPIs), and even send notifications or kick off maintenance work flows based on the real condition of your assets.  Kick-starting your CBM project has never been easier with the modern PI System.
2:15 PM - 2:45 PM
Generating value with advanced analytics - example "CEMEX", deep dive with Martin Straubinger, Produkt Support Engineer and Christine Wehrsig, Account Manager OSIsoft
With the example of company "Cemex" we show you about the impact of advanced analytics. In the past, extracting and gathering data for reports from all of CEMEX’s plants could take 744 hours, but now the process takes five minutes. Meanwhile, data preparation has been reduced from three days per month to one minute. Industrial Analytics is the buzz of the day. Big data, data lakes, machine learning and artificial intelligence are offering the allure of new insights and answers to efficiencies.  However sometimes the first big win comes from a small improvement and the data your already own.  Learn how you can break down seemingly complex big data problems into a manageable sequence of steps with the PI System.  Even without waiting for completion of a full-blown statistical model, your operational experts can often spot anomalous patterns with little more than a few events captured by PI System event frames and compiled in a report.
2:45 PM - 3:30 PM
Break and networking
 
3:30 PM - 4:00 PM
Next Generation Biologics Manufacturing: Delivering the Vision, Yvonne Ledford Project Manager, Automation Engineering, Biogen
Biogen has an ambitious goal of serving 1,000,000 patients with Alzheimer's Disease by 2020. To achieve this, Biogen is rethinking all aspects of their biologics manufacturing, from advanced controls and predictive models to improved testing and analytical instruments. To deliver on this critical mission, the Biogen Execution Systems are being developed to provide fully integrated, data-driven, electronic paperless manufacturing, warehouse management, and quality controls. This presentation will describe the business drivers behind Biogen's Next Generation Manufacturing, the novel approaches to achieve the scale and throughput required and the systems required to deliver the vision.
