Innovation Talks: A Way Forward for Industry

June 11, 2020

An action plan to navigate a dynamic and disrupted world

Modern industrial operations must constantly react to highly dynamic conditions — and that was before the current economic disruption. Now, agility has taken on a whole new meaning as we navigate highly-unusual working conditions, unprecedented market dynamics, and interrupted supply chains.

Collaboration during crisis helps us all weather the storm. Join in for a series of online sessions to discover practical steps you can take right now to increase resiliency and agility. Schneider will share customer-lead success stories, enabling technologies, and best practices for adapting operations in this new reality.

June 23: Workforce Empowerment Sessions

Turn to your best assets – your workforce. Empower your employees to make fast, informed decisions that improve productivity and operational efficiency.

Remote management lets operators continue to adjust systems and conduct maintenance even when access to the plant is limited.

Reducing cybersecurity threats and risks to your operations can improve business continuity and your prospects for long-term recovery.

June 24: Operational Agility Sessions

Disrupted supply chains are the new normal. You may need to make fundamental changes to your supply chain to keep your plant running and avoid future setbacks.

As market dynamics and consumer behavior undergo drastic changes, you need to make sure your assets are available for production when needed, avoid unplanned downtime, and use maintenance resources and digital services efficiently. Asset management solutions – including analytics – can improve the overall equipment effectiveness of your plant and extend asset lifecycles.

June 25: Efficiency and Profitability Sessions

It’s easy for the bottom line to take a backseat to more pressing issues during critical times. But it’s essential to continue to find ways to reduce maintenance costs, extend asset life and reduce energy and waste management costs.

Any steps you take to offset revenue loss now will put you that much closer to positively impacting profitability when economic and world conditions return to more predictable levels. In the meantime, working together can increase the resiliency and agility of our industrial ecosystem.
