The manufacturing industry in North America is undergoing its fourth evolution into a high-technology, digitalized, and data-driven industry. This Industry 4.0 period began long before the COVID-19 pandemic affected global society but has been accelerated in response to many of the challenges associated with it. In this report, we examine and explore the current manufacturing industry in North America and the challenges and opportunities it faces as adoption of Industry 4.0 thinking, tools, standards, and processes becomes more widespread.

About the Event
In the realm of maintenance and industrial production, operations are evolving as professionals face growing pressure to embrace digital transformation and adopt data-driven approaches. The goal is clear: implement effective condition-based maintenance, maximize asset reliability, and prevent catastrophic failures. But how can these objectives be achieved efficiently? Discover how Industry 4.0 is revolutionizing decision-making through digital transformation, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), robotics, and the practical use of sensor data and connectivity—all working together to achieve reliable control and enhanced performance.
The Automation, Maintenance, & Reliability Summit is designed for plant, production, and manufacturing managers, as well as safety engineers, technical specialists, automation experts, design and development managers, and system integrators.
