Digital transformation is being driven by technological advancements and evolving cybersecurity risks. For integrators, these drivers create both new opportunities and more complex demands.

In this session, you will explore new technologies designed to help you:

·       Build agnostic, scalable infrastructure to overcome project creep, avoid vendor lock-in, and take advantage of new technologies.

·       Reduce overhead in solution deployment and lifetime management through zero touch provisioning and secure, remote device management.

·       Meet today’s evolving cybersecurity needs by adopting industry best practices.

If you want to gain a comprehensive understanding of the tools that are available to help overcome the challenges presented by a rapidly transforming technological landscape, then this presentation is for you.

In the past, there was one way to connect PLCs to plant databases and enterprise servers to leverage cloud and business systems for metrics monitoring, analytics, high-speed sorting, and recipe downloads.

That connectivity was a custom-coded and IT solution including a PC, custom software coding, and protocol translation.

The problem: Custom connectivity is fragile, it’s a support hassle, and the software coding and interruptions never end since you are always learning as you go.

The solution: Rockwell has partnered with Softing to provide a built-for-purpose, Logix in-chassis, industrial OT/IT connectivity solution.

Now, there’s a growing shift away from the custom IT, custom integrated, PC & coding solution when it comes to connecting industrial PLCs to IT business systems. The solution now is a no-code, no-PC, and no OPC protocol translation solution using a Logix in-chassis module called tManager to connect the Rockwell PLCs to SQL databases, which is the connectivity enabler for these IIoT solutions.

Attend this session and in just 45 minutes you’ll learn how to:

• Connect Rockwell PLCs to SQL databases without writing code, without a PC in the middle, and without OPC protocol translation so you can easily deliver track and trace, high speed sorting, and other solution applications
• Quote and scope projects more accurately
• Deliver scalable projects
• Deliver projects that are easier to support
• Preserve your customers’ product secrets

If you work with Rockwell PLCs and deliver track and trace, high-speed sorting, quality monitoring, metrics monitoring, analytics, dashboards, or recipe download solutions, then this presentation is for you.

1. ‎Mitigate disaster with the ability to revert to an original code state if a device goes down ‎by having an all-encompassing view of code running multiple devices ‎
2. ‎Decrease time to onboarding with having a one-stop mutli-vendor file view, eliminating ‎the need to understand individual vendor files and programming languages
3. ‎Save time on manual code reviews, allowing for more innovation and iteration of code ‎and reducing risk for code error with easy code reviews

System integrators continue to face the challenge of doing more with less – supporting complex operations while meeting production schedules with limited resources while innovating to increase efficiency, maximize safety, and reduce risk.

In this session, you will hear about 5 edge computing opportunities for you to generate revenue and maximize profitability in 2024, including: 

• Shifting from tech refresh projects to value-add engineering engagements
• Modernization projects that maximize reliability and lay a future proof foundation for software solutions
• Emerging applications that comprise a modern OT/IT stack
• How Edge Computing architectures simplify project management for profitability
• Ways Edge Computing enables long tail revenue by offering post deployment services

If you are interested in learning how edge computing offers key opportunities for you to add value to your customers by offering a wide range of software, service models, and future proof control architectures, then this session is for you.

Are you interested in changing the way you look at engineering to fabrication? Are you open to improving your design-to-manufacturing process? Would you like to hear how you can reduce waste – both time and materials – to control and minimize costs?  Then the new Design to Manufacturing Software solution from nVent/HOFFMAN might be just what you are looking for. 

During this 45-minute presentation and demo, you’ll see and hear first-hand how this solution enables designers and manufacturers to plan and design electrical enclosures, machines and factory systems to automate panel building through intelligent 2D/3D workflow, enabling a digital twin.

Plus, you’ll hear how it can:

• Simplify design to minimize manual drafting and improve quality.
• Capture and deploy knowledge to standardize design and drive efficiency.
• Connect engineering to manufacturing to improve quality, efficiency and precision.
• Solve the shortage of engineers and skilled labor.
• And, perhaps most importantly, accelerate profitable growth.

If you are a principal, engineering manager, design engineer, shop manager or are just interested in learning how to change the way you look at engineering to fabrication, then this session is for you.
