From ice breakers to technical tips, to the use of a virtual background, to elusive nuggets we don’t always think about in a virtual setting, join us for an informative and sometimes lighthearted take on the obvious and not so obvious.
Whether you are a CEO, sales engineer or support staff, all attendees will walk away with a fresh take on how to nail the virtual first impression to win more business.

Many applications are too costly to implement today with a standard 6-Axis robot. This all changes with Epson’s groundbreaking VT6L, an "All-in-One" 6-Axis robot that opens up a world of application opportunities due to its ease-of-use and industrial reliability, all at an ultra-low price point.

In this webinar you will learn more about the state-of-the-art features contained within the VT6L, including the powerful RC + ® development software which allows for easy integration with peripheral tools such as Epson’s vision system. With a range of up to 900 mm, a payload capacity of up to 6 kg and a compact design with the controller built into the arm, the VT6L is an innovative, "go-to" solution for simple load/unload, packaging or parts assembly applications.

Successful digital transformation of manufacturing requires the right alignment of skills and technologies from OT (Operations Technology), IT, manufacturing and process. End users have used the services of OT systems integrators and IT service providers in silos. Technologies used for future digital systems are starting to traverse the IT & OT disciplines. These technologies are being brought together in new digital IIOT and analytics platforms often deployed in the cloud. OT systems integrators have always been closer to manufacturing systems, the data generated from machines and processes and can have a big impact in accelerating value from digital transformation. A new generation of SI's, the digital SI's with new business models will be instrumental to successful digital transformation by the end users.
This panel discussion with a Systems Integration business owner, an end-user in pharmaceutical manufacturing, and a Digital Platform technology supplier will address some of the following questions:

• The gaps and challenges of IT-OT integration in digital transformation
• The role of the OT Systems integrator in digital transformation
• What digital fluency skills Systems Integrators need to build to become trusted advisors to end users for digital transformation
• Digital platform features needed to accelerate adoption and time to value
• Building in-house solutions vis-a-vis using platforms
• Objective criteria and reference standards for selecting the right technology platform
• Building a platform for robust lifecycle management
