Adapt And Thrive Through Autonomous Operations For The Next Normal Business Environment

Autonomous operations comprise the ultimate destination in a digital transformation journey. Autonomous operations possess learning and adaptive capabilities that enable automated responses to emerging situations without human operator interaction. They can rapidly adapt to market disruptions and benefit from improved safety, higher reliability, increased efficiency, reduced costs, and expedited time-to-market.

Y NOW 2021 will showcase how to transform from industrial automation to industrial autonomy (IA2IA). Over three days, leading industry experts will share their vast expertise in accelerating digital transformations to create highly agile operations. Attendees will learn how to reimagine, scale and accelerate their digital transformations to achieve autonomous operations for a sustainable future.

In digitally transforming to achieve autonomous operations, companies must focus on the following key aspects:

• Asset performance management – Doing more with the same assets requires new solutions using AI/ML, digital twins, and digitalized work processes.

• Energy and production management – Companies must deploy the latest, best practices for balancing energy and production management in a rapidly transitioning environment with increased disruptors.

• Operational risk management – New methodologies in cybersecurity and work process management are enhancing safety, operational discipline, and resilience.

• Supply chain management – After last year's disruption, companies should take their newly found resilience and utilize it to deliver a demand-driven business model.

• Technologies on the Edge – The IIoT, Cloud, Edge, 5G, and advanced analytics have created a technological inflection point. At the event, early adopters will reveal best practices in new technology implementation and the results they have achieved.

From advanced process control (APC) and analytics through sustainability and value chain optimization, attendees of this virtual event will learn how to best deploy new business practices, methodologies, and technologies to meet the demands of the next normal business ecosystem.
