3rd Internet of Manufacturing Midwest - ADDRESSING IT - OT RELATIONS
IT/OT convergence is fundamental to today's smart factory. Manufacturers are certainly aware that it is something they need to nurture, to really benefit and achieve ROI from IoT technologies, but what exactly will change to organizational structures and team cultures bring.
HOW SMALL SHOPS CAN START THE MARCH TOWARDS DIGITALIZATION
Commentary from Ramona Schindler, General Manager
Machine Tool Systems, Siemens Switzerland. Most shops, even the smallest ones, have obviously been gathering data and logging it in a production-schedule format of some kind for many years.
IoT and the 0G Network
Digitizing manufacturing and the supply chain require that technologies can connect assets, collect data and extract information. Our 0G network enables this by allowing real time data access and visibility. As a result, we help customers transform information into action.
Digital Thread: Where Will Your Added Value Come From?
"What makes the digital thread so important is that to leverage all the data, you need to also manage how the data connects to the rest of the operation and how it flows from one process to another."
NIMS and Festo Didactic to Develop Industry 4.0 Skills Standards and Certified Training Program
With NIMS' emphasis on manufacturing skills training, credentialing, and standards, plus Festo's complete Industry 4.0 learning Factories, courseware and eLearning integration, the two organizations are well poised to provide the training programs for Industry 4.0.

Prevent Shocks, Jamming, Tearing and Static Cling!
Static electricity can cause problems.
• Materials tear, jam or curl • Webs and films cling to themselves • Electronic sensors fail, making false readings • Hazardous sparks or shocks • Product clings to itself, rollers, machine beds • Dust attraction ruins surface finishes
EXAIR manufactures a complete line of Gen4™ static eliminators to remedy common static problems. Many use our engineered airflow products to minimize air use and noise while delivering maximum results by moving more static eliminating ions to the product surface.
The Gen4 Ion Air Cannon™ neutralizes static electricity and cleans at distances up to 15 feet (4.6m) with no moving parts. It is ideal for those hard to reach spaces or confined areas that require a concentrated flow of static eliminating ions. With an optional pressure regulator, the air volume and velocity are infinitely adjustable over a wide range, for light to heavy duty applications. http://www.exair.com/184/sepromo.htm
