Description

Come share your experiences, stories, questions, and what you have learned in a safe, non-commercial environment. We seek to understand the state-of-the market, understand what companies have done that has or has not worked, documenting questions that MESA and the community can help answer. Overall, the goal is to accelerate each participant’s learning and progress toward Smart Manufacturing. 

Topic: No MES? No problem!

Manufacturers continue to balance the demands of digital transformation with the realities of cost, complexity, and integration associated with Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). But what if an investment in MES is just not an option?  This session will explore how organizations are approaching incremental improvements using AI or other means. how these tools might complement existing MES investments, and what new possibilities may lie ahead for data-driven, adaptive manufacturing.

• Are there opportunities for enhancing a legacy MES without the heavy lift of rip and replace?
• Where does AI fit today or tomorrow? 
• What other tools might complement existing MES investments? 
• What new possibilities lie ahead for data-driven, adaptive manufacturing?
