Automation Alley’s 2020 Technology in Industry Reveal Goes Virtual
Industry 4.0 in Focus: A Livestream Series

Automation Alley’s Technology in Industry Reveal is going virtual for 2020! Join us this summer, beginning July 13, as we debut Automation Alley’s 2020 Technology in Industry Report, titled Industry 4.0 in Focus, and launch a livestream series featuring Automation Alley Executive Director and CEO Tom Kelly and the report’s key contributors from industry and academia as they break down the report’s emerging technology trends, case studies and action items for industry.

As we enter a new decade, the opportunities associated with Industry 4.0 are enormous. 5G technology will unlock the bandwidth to make Industry 4.0 truly possible, collaborative robots will become more agile and configurable and artificial intelligence will continue to become more sophisticated. While these rapid technological advancements provide manufacturers with great opportunities for growth, 2020 is also a time of profound uncertainty for business leaders and the global workforce as we face new challenges around the enormous amounts of data we are collecting, disruptive and sophisticated cyber threats and the impact and fallout of coronavirus, the worst pandemic of our lifetimes.

Join us as we address these most pressing challenges—as well as the greatest opportunities—impacting the business world today. How should companies prepare in 2020 and beyond for the digital transformation and position themselves for long-term strategic success?

Episode 7: AR -- The New Reality for Work Instructions

In a rapidly changing manufacturing ecosystem, workers on the shop floor today must adapt to a faster, more flexible and faultless assembly process, often alongside robot counterparts and other smart and connected Industry 4.0 technologies. For many manufacturers, augmented reality (AR) can be a useful ally in training new employees as well as experienced operators when product variants and materials frequently switch and change.

Join Automation Alley’s Executive Director and CEO Tom Kelly as he discusses AR projected work instructions with the experts at OPS Solutions. Learn how the company’s Light Guide Systems technology is helping manufacturers save time, money and reduce errors. A case study on Netherlands-based TNO from Automation Alley’s 2020 Technology in Industry Report, available for digital download beginning July 13, will be discussed.
