From Standard Work to Scalable Smart Manufacturing: Making Data and AI Work in Assembly Operations

Session description

Many manufacturing operations are investing in digital tools, but still struggle with inconsistent processes, limited visibility, and solutions that don’t scale beyond isolated use cases. The challenge isn’t technology—it’s connecting standard work, operators, and data in a way that drives real results.

This session outlines a practical approach to improving assembly performance by starting with operator enablement and standardized workflows, then layering in real-time data capture, error-proofing, and system integration through MES.

Attendees will learn how to reduce variability, improve quality, and create a data foundation that supports better decision-making and enables AI-driven insights—without disrupting production.”
