Your Metals Industry Resource

Automation Fair At Home will feature a number of sessions, exhibitors and showcase new products and solutions for the metals industry. 

Sessions: 

Automation Fair At Home offers a wide array of sessions - from interactive hands-on labs, product and technology sessions, to DX Strategists presentations. We narrowed down the session list to those applicable to your specific industry. 

View the Metals Industry sessions

Here are the top five sessions we think will benefit anyone in the metals industry. 

Product and Tech Session
PT04 - The Urgency of Cybersecurity: Take the Next Step

Faced with a range of obstacles, manufacturers are changing how they approach cybersecurity. Cybersecurity has always been one of the most important pillars in digital transformation, but over the past several months, its importance has heightened. In this session, hear from cybersecurity leaders on how the lessons they have recently learned will impact the way manufacturers approach security going forward. Learn how to drive cybersecurity priorities and investments with an outcome driven approach.

Product and Tech Session
PT33 - What is Your Digital OEE Strategy? Innovate to Improve Operational Performance

Does your OEE solution report data, but lack insight? To make real improvements, you need to understand not just how your assets are performing, but why. Your workforce needs real-time data with actionable information that makes them more aware and efficient, so they can make your plant more productive. Learn how a scalable OEE strategy can help your workforce to visualize, benchmark and optimize assets and information as you implement your digital transformation using your existing control system and data you already collect.

Product and Tech Session
PT58 - Resistance is Futile and Costly: Embrace Modernization

Many organizations are modernizing for competitive gains. Therefore, corporate IT teams are being tasked by management to secure their plants to protect production. They don’t always approach this task as carefully as needed. This shares real customer experiences from early, mid, and late stages in the journey that apply regardless of your industry.

DX Strategists
DX01 - Digital Co-innovation Brings the Connected Enterprise to Life

The pace of innovation is accelerating quicker than ever to maximize workforce productivity and optimize operations by delivering information to the appropriate person or system at the right time. Rockwell Automation is co-innovating with our partner ecosystem of digital leaders to help you bring your connected enterprise to life with best-of-breed solutions that connect critical business functions. Learn best practices on implementing a digital thread strategy enabled by advanced digital capabilities, such as browser-based CAD, 3D emulation, physics-based digital twins, and cloud to deliver exciting new capabilities for collaborative design, preventive maintenance, and real-time visibility.

Hands-on Lab
HOL08 - OEE and Root Cause Analysis for Improved Asset Utilization

Do you know how your plant is operating right now? Using FactoryTalk® Metrics, ThingWorx and FactoryTalk® DataView, you can create real-time monitoring and immediately access reports to help reduce downtime, increase productivity and boost OEE.
