How To Harness Modern MES for AI and Innovation

Learn from MES-experts Sepasoft how MES fuels the success of AI and BI initiatives, driving organizations toward actionable insights and a competitive edge. In the Industry 4.0 era, the success of AI and BI technologies in manufacturing hinges on high-quality data. Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) play a crucial role integrating with the plant floor and enriching production data with essential metadata, plus adding valuable context for machine learning and advanced analytics. MES provides real-time visibility for informed decision-making and cuts the typical 80% time investment data scientists devote to becoming subject matter experts and preprocessing data.

Ignition to ERP: Best Practices and Lessons Learned

Looking to leverage Ignition to seamlessly connect with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain (D365)? This session will cover best practices and lessons learned from two perspectives: an Ignition developer, and an enterprise solutions architect. Flexware Innovation’s Ignition Team and Enterprise Solutions Team work together to merge IT with OT for true digital transformation. From this collaboration emerged a set of best practices (and lessons learned) that will be shared with the Ignition community. Presentation examples will center on D365, but the foundational architecture principles can apply to your ERP system, too.

Standardizing the Unstandardized: Strategies for SCADA Systems

SCADA systems can become complex and unwieldy when managed by numerous engineers or when ownership changes through acquisitions. In this session we will focus on strategies and implementation methods for using Ignition to transform disorganized systems into standardized, efficient operations. This presentation will cover best practices from small, unique projects to large-scale projects with multimillion-tag counts. Highlighting the similarities and differences between these types of projects, this session emphasizes the importance of standards in data modeling and a robust validation and verification process. Implementing these techniques enhances system performance, reduces costs, and increases user confidence — all of which are critical for the successful delivery of projects of any size to clients and stakeholders.
