CONFERENCE SECTION: ICE BREAKER ROUNDTABLE — Sunday, September 18th
At this immersive pre-event day, four speakers hold practical Q&A discussions around critical considerations for Industry 4.0 and the digital transformation of manufacturing. A great opportunity for networking.
DATAPROPHET PRE-EVENT (19:45 – 22:00)
TITLE: “HOW IMPORTANT IS THE DIGITAL MATURITY JOURNEY FOR THE FUTURE OF MANUFACTURING, AND WHAT DOES IT IDEALLY LOOK LIKE ON THE FACTORY FLOOR?”
PRESENTER: FRANS CRONJE, DATAPROPHET CEO AND CO-FOUNDER
DESCRIPTION: Frans generates a discussion around how an IIoT connectivity solution ideally helps factory personnel in their day-to-day (shift-to-shift) operations. He identifies the most critical factory data for operators to access at the human-machine interface (HMI); key value-enabling functionalities of an IIoT platform; what it means for a factory to be AI-ready; why this is critical for driving production value for next-generation manufacturing, and how plants can achieve AI-readiness.
CONFERENCE SECTION: EVENT DAY 1 Monday, September 19
DATAPROPHET EVENT TWO (16:20 – 16:35) VIRTUAL TECH TAKE
TITLE: “WHAT DOES A COMPLETE DIGITAL MATURITY SOLUTION FOR THE AI-DRIVEN FACTORY LOOK LIKE?”
PRESENTER: FRANS CRONJE, DATAPROPHET CEO AND CO-FOUNDER
DESCRIPTION: This live demonstration will show how DataProphet CONNECT distills, visualizes, and makes your most critical plant data accessible. You will also observe how pre-processed, and centralized data management is conducive to being leveraged—with AI-driven optimization deployments.
CONFERENCE SECTION: EVENT DAY 2 Tuesday, September 20
DATAPROPHET EVENT THREE: (8:30 – 9:00) SOLUTION STUDY
TITLE: “HOW IOT SUPPORTS THE DIGITISATION GOALS OF IMPROVED YIELD AND SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF AI”
PRESENTER: FRANS CRONJE, DATAPROPHET CEO AND CO-FOUNDER
CTA: Learn how to achieve rapid data maturity in your plant environment for AI-driven industry 4.0.
DESCRIPTION: Frans explains how an IIoT system can ensure a factory’s data integrity for its Industry 4.0 ambitions. He looks at IIoT platforms deployed in the context of a customer’s specific needs along the digital adoption curve (with specific reference to their existing data infrastructure). You will learn the collaborative critical steps—between the IIoT vendor and key factory personnel—needed to achieve Digital Maturity during IIoT deployment quickly. The presentation explores how digital transformation steps can be uniquely geared towards a plant’s AI-readiness. This, in turn, ensures a factory can reap the full value of data-driven process optimization and machine maintenance technology.
Inspired by the significant value prescriptive AI delivered to local manufacturers as an industry consultant, Frans Cronje co-founded DataProphet in 2014. His mission is to establish this innovative, results-driven company as the leading global provider of AI-as-a-Service for manufacturing. Frans was amongst Fast Company SA's top 20 industry leaders under 30.
