Date: 16 July
Location: Online

16 July, 11:00 (UK Time)

“The companies that will thrive are the ones that do the best job moving forward with their digital transformation.” – Craig Resnick, ARC Advisory Group – April 2020

As we navigate uncertain times, it is becoming clearer that digital transformation creates competitive advantage – by driving the digitalisation of industrial processes to increase consistency, repeatability, conformance to standards, and accountability.

This webinar takes a closer look at a number of examples from leading F&B, Pharmaceuticals and FMCG manufacturers to reveal how they are using Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) to accelerate their digital transformation: enabling the digital worker, gaining enterprise visibility and scalability and boosting their continuous improvement programs.

Featuring expert commentary, and a lively Q&A format led by The Manufacturer’s Editor, this interactive discussion will help you find answers to the following questions:

  • How do you deliver successful innovation under pressure?
  • Why does Digital Transformation create competitive advantage?
  • What do digital workers expect from their operating environment?
  • How do you maximise operational resilience and flexibility?
  • What value do MES initiatives bring F&B, pharma and FMCG manufacturers?
