Today's digital technologies can help companies and people in the process industries do things better, faster and more efficiently. But which are the best fit for your business, and how can you most effectively roll them out to your advantage?

Watch the recording of an interactive panel session featuring three experts with solid experience in corporate technology implementations. In addition to a lively discussion, they demonstrate the value of digitalization through three highly relevant use cases: modular type package, the connected worker and predictive maintenance.

A modern distributed control system can be elevated to a new level of performance and productivity when connected to a “triple play” of advanced digital twins: those derived from production planning and execution with Manufacturing Execution System/Manufacturing Operations Management (MES/MOM) solutions; control engineering contextualized with real-time process values for visibility; and first principles model-based, real-time optimization connected to plant DCS and data historian systems.

Join a team of Siemens digitalization experts as they explore how integrating digital twin technologies can increase your capabilities.

When manufacturing material, availability is key to success. Logistic efficiency can be enhanced by implementing vendor-managed inventory.

Allowing your suppliers to see their inventory status can:

• Simplify delivery scheduling, improve forecasting 
• Shorten the procurement cycle
• Insure your process always has enough material for production
•  Provide secure, resilient and cost-effective solutions.

You might call them mobile workers, remote workers, connected workers or digital workers, but whatever term you use, the future is already here. Digital twins support us on plant floors, in offices and at our service providers, and they are readily available from engineering value chains connected to our business.

Today, through smart devices, technicians can access off-site instrumentation experts for maintenance support, and process control operators can access DCS HMI screens even when they are not in the control room.

These are critical questions facing process manufacturing executives today:

• How can large companies match the innovation pace of start-ups?
• Is becoming a digital enterprise the answer?
• Where should a business invest in digital technologies – with their chemists, or their manufacturing engineers, or their process control system?
• How are these systems even connected, or does “digital” simply mean emailing files instead of passing paper?
