ARC's Thirteenth India Forum: Industry in Transition: The Information Driven Enterprise for the Connected World

Category:
Industry Trends

​ARC India's annual forum (for process and discrete industries) will be held on July 9th and 10th 2015 at Hotel Le Meridian, Bangalore. The Forum provides an appropriate networking platform for key decision makers and thought leaders to share their experiences and insights on best practices, strategies, and technologies, along with suppliers of automation systems, enterprise solutions, and manufacturing IT solutions. The knowledge transfer will come from case study presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and peer-to-peer networking. 

The theme of the forum is the information driven enterprise for the connected world and the Forum presentations will revolve around this central theme. The topics that were discussed at the last India forum have now gained momentum and the upcoming forum will highlight the subsequent trends and developments. The agenda has been formulated in such a manner that the topics covered at our forum will be of relevance to both end users and suppliers. Presentation topics will cover the gamut from Automation and Enterprise Trends; Advancement in Control Strategies; Energy Optimization; Strategies to Achieve Asset Performance Management; Operational Excellence and Cybersecurity; and Strategies for Growth. The forum's focus will be on maximizing productivity and increasing return on investment (ROI) by channelizing relevant information and investing in technologies.

In a connected world the buzzwords for industrial growth are greater agility, flexibility, responsiveness, and innovation; and this can be achieved only with the adoption of new information technologies, such as Internet of Things, Big Data, predictive analytics, wireless, additive manufacturing, cloud computing, mobility, and 3D visualization. Internet of things (IoT) is the next big thing for industrial enterprises and is all about being collaborative. The industrial internet revolution is taking place due to the convergence of automated industrial systems with the power of advanced computing, analytics, low-cost sensing and new levels of connectivity permitted by the internet.  The deeper interlocking of the digital world with the world of machines holds the potential to transform the global industry. The Industrial IoT promises improved performance of manufacturers' service operations through remote connectivity as well as incremental connectivity-based revenue streams that represent entire new opportunities. It is evident that information and automation technologies will play a greater role in the production process than in the past; by automating all industrial processes that don't require human intervention and empowering humans with the timely, in-context information they need to improve performance, they can achieve operational excellence. All these topics will be discussed at the forum.

Over the years ARC forums have gained credence as a knowledge-disseminating and business-growth platform, hence sponsors have evinced interest to participate in ARC forums. Forum sponsors get an excellent opportunity to showcase their technologies and offerings at the venue.
