The ARC Industry Forum Brazil is the newest addition to ARC Advisory Group's successful global series of conferences, which have become leading platforms for industrial end users, technology suppliers and thought leaders across Europe, North America and Asia. Focusing on "Achieving Resilient Operations through AI, Digitalization and Sustainability," the forum will take place November 10–12, 2026, in Rio de Janeiro.
Smart Manufacturing
Smart manufacturing integrates advanced digital technologies to create connected, intelligent, and adaptable production environments. Reliable industrial communications ensure seamless connectivity between devices, sensors, controllers, and business systems. Modern automation architectures provide flexible and interoperable frameworks that connect plant-floor systems with enterprise applications. Artificial Intelligence (AI) transforms manufacturing data into actionable insights, driving predictive maintenance, quality optimization, autonomous operations, and continuous performance improvement across the production lifecycle. Cybersecurity protects all the critical industrial assets, data, and operations from evolving threats.
Edge and cloud computing enable real-time data processing at the machine level while leveraging scalable analytics and storage in the cloud. Virtual control technologies decouple control software from proprietary hardware, enabling greater flexibility and easier system updates. Software-Defined Automation (SDA) further enhances adaptability by making automation functions software-centric and easier to deploy, modify, and scale. Open Process Automation (OPA) promotes vendor-neutral, standards-based control systems that improve agility and reduce lifecycle costs.
