Building a Connected and Agile Manufacturing Ecosystem with Event-Driven Architectures

With the deluge of connected devices, machines, and robots comes data, and with data comes opportunity. Tapping into the enormous flow of IoT data can transform enterprises into digital businesses and facilitate new business models, increase efficiency, and improve customer engagement.

This webinar will discuss the latest trends that are redefining Industrial IoT (IIoT) practices, unlocking new opportunities for businesses. You’ll hear directly from industry leaders at Siemens and Brose as they share their journeys toward adopting data streaming solutions and migrating to the cloud. Both companies have navigated unique challenges to embrace the advantages that emerged during the process.

Join this webinar to discover the significance of event-driven architectures and data streaming in manufacturing, shop floors, supply chains, and more.

This webinar will:

  • Uncover the practical strategies employed by Siemens and Brose to integrate data streaming in IoT for real-time data utilization.
  • Explore the challenges faced by both companies in embracing data streaming, and reveal how they overcame barriers to maximize their potential with a hybrid cloud infrastructure.
  • Discuss the significance of event-driven architectures and data streaming for enhanced manufacturing processes to improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and seamlessly integrate with existing IT systems like SAP ERP and Salesforce CRM to optimize their operations.
  • Highlight how these enterprise architectures will be expanded in the future, including real-time data sharing with customers, partners, and suppliers, and the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI), including GenAI, on data streaming efforts, providing valuable insights to drive business outcomes and operational efficiency.
