Data + AI Summit is fast approaching. Every year, data leaders, practitioners and visionaries from across the globe join Data + AI Summit to hear from Manufacturing, Logistics & Transportation, Energy and Technology peers and thought leaders about how they are leveraging data to speed products to market, improve operations, build agile supply chains and ultimately deliver higher return on capital invested (ROCI).

For data teams in the Manufacturing industry, we’re excited to announce a full agenda of Manufacturing sessions. Leaders from Corning, Honeywell, John Deere, Collins Aerospace, Fedex and Tredence will share how they are using data to improve access to data, predict failures using digital twins, democratize data, and power innovation with real-world data.

Manufacturing Industry Forum

Join us on Wednesday, June 29th at 3:30pm PT for our Manufacturing Forum. During our capstone event, you’ll have the opportunity to join keynote and panel discussions with data analytics and AI leaders on the most pressing topics in the Manufacturing industry.

Manufacturing Breakout Sessions

Here’s an overview of some of our most highly-anticipated Manufacturing sessions at this year’s summit:

Why a Data Lakehouse is Critical During the Manufacturing Apocalypse

Heather Urbanek, Director, Digital and Advanced Analytics
Brad Nicholas, Director, Digital Platforms, IT Emerging Technology
Corning Inc.

COVID has changed the way that we work and the way that we must do business. Supply chain disruptions have impacted manufacturers’ ability to manufacture and distribute products. Logistics and the lack of labor have forced us to staff differently. The existential threat is real and we must change the way that we analyze data and solve problems real time in order to stay relevant.

In this session, you’ll learn about Corning’s journey, why the data lake and digital tech is essential to survival in this new world, some practical examples of how machine learning and data pipelines enable faster decision making, and why businesses cannot survive without these capabilities.

Predicting and Preventing Machine Downtime with AI and Expert Alerts

Jayashree Karnam, Engineering Manager - Proactive Services & Customer Product Support
Jeremy Goebel, Manager, Aftermarket Enablement Solutions
John Deere

Machine and equipment failure in the field can be extremely costly for a John Deere customer. While customers expect reliability with their products, unexpected failures can happen in the field. Fixing them reactively can be time consuming and costly. John Deere equipment operators sometimes have small windows of time to complete a task (harvest, planting, construction, etc.) and could be working in distant remote locations. A reactive approach to equipment failure and downtime should be avoided at all costs.

John Deere’s central Machine Health Monitoring Center analyzes data from thousands of connected machines. Their Product Systems Data Scientists & Analysts identify trends within the data, determine causes, and develop new and improved preventative-maintenance and repair protocols called Expert Alerts.

Here is the story of how Apache Spark, Delta Lake and Lakehouse framework helped John Deere achieve this mission.
