"Companies that use smart manufacturing technology within their organizations are poised to be the biggest beneficiaries of the rapid change associated with the Fourth Industrial Revolution," said Bill Berutti, CEO of Plex Systems. "We are proud that global manufacturing leaders look to PowerPlex each year to inform future business strategies, modernize their shop floors, and continuously improve their operations."

PowerPlex offers a rich mix of compelling and insightful keynote presentations, hands-on workshops, real-world case studies, best practices, and networking opportunities. The event's 90 breakout sessions featuring more than 100 manufacturers, thought leaders, and Plex product experts share insights on a broad range of topics, from specific technology applications including Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to important industry trends and challenges such as closing the skilled workforce gap. Over three days, attendees can see the cutting-edge technology in action in the event's Experience Lab, talk directly with Plex technology and service partners in the Solutions Expo to learn how to extend Plex and integrate its data with existing systems, and see a wide range of products made with Plex in the Customer Showcase.

"A year ago, we were struggling to define and map our strategy for Industry 4.0," said Eric Wolfe, president of Horizon Technologies, which delivers highly complex, cost-effective solutions for powder metal products. "Then we heard the PowerPlex keynote presentations and it was like Plex was speaking directly to us. Plex's vision for enabling smart manufacturing helps us both deliver on our customers' needs today while providing us with the breakthrough technologies and direction we need to remain successful in the future."
