Description
9:00 AM  -  9:10 AM
Virtual Showcase & Chat with the Experts
Smart automation, smart data, smart manufacturing: the word “smart” has been around for quite some time in the industry. How exactly should you go about any of it? Check out our 30 virtual booths any time during the day and live chat with our experts to ask any questions you may have - or say "Hi"!.  
9:10 AM  -  9:30 AM
Introduction and Welcome
9:30 AM  - 10:05 AM
Modernize & Integrate Your Automation and Drives
Join our session to learn how you can modernize your plant with a step-by-step integration of state of the art Siemens automation and drives that also play well in the sandbox with what you already have today. Learn how to enable a complete migration, and how to use new innovations to incrementally migrate select critical assets - like drives, IO, and HMI - on an existing legacy network with existing PLCs.
10:05 AM - 10:15 AM
On Stage Live Q&A
10:15 AM - 10:45 AM

Keynote "How to Attract the Next Workforce with Automation and Robotics"

by Jake Hall, the #ManufacturingMillenial

With the silver tsunami of thousands of Boomers retiring from the manufacturing workforce and the lack of future younger generations entering manufacturing, companies are scrambling to fill production demands, keep equipment running, and automate their organizations and processes. As a whole, we must work together to engage with the general public to change misconceptions of manufacturing and drive awareness to new solutions such as digitization, automation, and robotics.

 

In his keynote, Jake Hall will discuss how manufacturers are finding success in:

• Engaging with existing workers on upskilling and job satisfaction.

• Leveraging robotics in new ways that is beneficial to manufacturers and the workforce.

• Adapting new types of automation from the Smart Factory

• Building excitement in the next generation for manufacturing careers
10:45 AM - 11:30 AM
TIA Portal - Panel Discussion
What would your engineering team do with 30% more time available to invest in new projects? Join this session to learn how TIA Portal Engineering Framework can deliver that time savings, ensuring productivity and efficiency while tackling the challenges of implementing automation solutions and benefits recognized and valued by your users. Key topics include the TIA Portal integrated framework, auto-generated diagnostics, reusable control objects and shared libraries.

Your Shortcut to Robotics
Robots can benefit companies in every sector, but integrating them into an automation environment presents many challenges. The SIMATIC Robot Integrator and SIMATIC Kinematic technology now makes the benefits of robotics readily available to all users, you just need to know your way around the TIA Portal. That saves on engineering costs: Users benefit from a single engineering environment for machines and robots and from the uniform operation of robots from different manufacturers.
