Webinar Highlights

Today, the environment surrounding the manufacturing industry is undergoing major changes. In addition to changes in the domestic and overseas environment, such as the economic downturn, labor shortages, and damage to supply chain management due to COVID-19 epidemic, technological innovations such as IoT, AI, robotics, DX, and digital twins are constantly advancing. Under these circumstances, we focused on what sort of technology we should aim for in a factory that is resistant to change, and how we should utilize it. Explanations and panel discussions were held on realistic approaches with concrete examples.

Voice of the customer who listened

We received a lot of comments from the customers who watched it, so we will introduce some of them below.

• It was great to hear their honest opinions about the operation, their frank comments about their struggles, and their countermeasures.
• The explanation based on the actual situation was easy to understand.
• The content was very easy to understand, and the content was perfect for the issues I am currently working on, so it was very meaningful. It was very useful to hear from the person in charge who has various introduction experiences such as the current issues (data visualization and PLC data acquisition) that are occurring at each company's factory.
• 各社の推す製品について概略を知るのに役立った。
• The specific examples of the panel discussion were very familiar and helpful.
• The panel discussion was informative. It was helpful to talk about the hardships at the site, so I would like to ask you again next time.
• I was able to recognize the fact that it is extremely complicated to visualize data in the manufacturing industry. I would like to work on that analysis. I heard a valuable story, so I will refer to it.
• Because the Company is in the analog-digital part, we felt that we could manage it after thoroughly reviewing the situation at the site. I heard a story that was very helpful.

Sessions by leading companies promoting digital twins

Digital twins are attracting attention in the manufacturing industry. Leading companies that support the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry introduced the benefits of using digital twins and specific implementation approaches from their respective perspectives. We also introduce the points of each session, "I'm glad I listened to this", so that you can see the sessions you care about at a glance. Whether you watched it on the day or not, please take a look.

Session 1: How to Understand and Proceed with the "Production Digital Twin"

Lecture: Mr. Daigo Kobayashi, Group Manager,IoT Promotion Group, Manufacturing Planning Sales Department,Wing Arc 1st Co.,Ltd.

In this session, as an introductory part of the webinar, an overview of digital twins, how to understand them, and how to proceed were introduced. WingArc 1st, which has been supporting the data utilization of customers in the manufacturing industry, explains concerns about the realization of a production digital twin and questions such as how to use it effectively. I was.

Session 2: Closed-Loop digital twin utilizing the IoT platform "MindSphere"

Speech: Mr. Yuki Izumi, Siemens Digital Industries SoftwarePresales Division,Siemens Co., Ltd.

Siemens has thoroughly automated production and other areas, and has managed to increase productivity by 14 times while maintaining employment. The key to this is the digitization of the factory. In this session, we will discuss a digital twin that visualizes factory data using the IoT platform "MindSphere" provided by Siemens, and a "closed-loop digital twin" that provides feedback to the simulation model. Twin" was introduced in detail.

Session 3: Digitalization Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them

Lecture: Kota Abe, General Manager Macnica Industrial Solutions Division

Digitalization in the manufacturing industry, such as digital twins and DX, is attracting attention, but I think you often hear that even if you try to introduce it, it doesn't go smoothly. Where are the points where it is easy to get stuck when promoting digitalization? In this session, we will discuss how to take the first step towards digitalization. We have introduced specific solutions based on past successes and failures. We provide explanations from the unique perspective of Macnica, which has actually supported the digital transformation of manufacturing customers from the field.

Panel discussion: The manufacturing industry challenging the post-corona era. Think about a factory that is resilient to change and profitable, centering on digital twins.

In the panel discussion, members from WingArc 1st Co., Ltd., which provides visualization tools, Siemens Co., Ltd., which performs simulations with factory simulators, and Macnica, which provides these as a total service, discussed the theme of digital twin from various perspectives. A discussion was held. The content of the previous session was delved deeper into the content, with the main focus being on points of difficulty faced in the field and how to overcome them, making the content very relatable.
