Topic: Digital Transformation and Industry 4.0 Success - It's Not (All) About the Technology
The changes brought about by Industry 4.0 and the digitalization that implies makes life difficult for an industry that has been around for more than a century. The chemical manufacturing sector is filled with talented engineers and scientists, but adopting new approaches in data integration and contextualization can be challenging. Part of that challenge relates to the natural technology inertia and baggage that comes with a +130-year-old industry. But too often, most of the challenge lies in the fact that everyone outside your company believes passionately that all that’s needed for Industry 4.0 success is their “better mousetrap” – the better AI algorithm, machine learning software, cloud solution or process explorer.
This fun and interactive session with Dow and Northwest Analytics will demonstrate how Dow broke away from the usual technology-first thinking that prevents true transformation; and developed a problem-centric approach that has enabled Dow to drive analytics-based decision making in real time and create an analytics culture that is at the foundation of its Industry 4.0 analytics success. And as is highlighted in the journey of Dow and other leading manufacturers, the problem is not what you think!
