SUMMARY:The Power of Smart Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:The Internet of Things (IoT) and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are getting a lot of media hype lately. For manufacturing\, this revolves around the concept of smart manufacturing (or Industry 4.0 if you are based in Europe). \nNote: Request for an invite early on the website. It is a free online event\n​\nThe concepts aren’t entirely new to the industry (e.g.\, machine-to-machine)\, but certainly recent technology advances allow us to bring together data capture\, connectivity\, remote control and\, most importantly\, analytics to deliver on the promise of cyber-physical manufacturing sooner than you might think. There’s a massive amount of information out there\, mostly revolving around opinions on Industry 4.0 or point-solutions from technology vendors. What’s truly lacking is an objective conversation on smart manufacturing that outlines goals\, benefits and challenges. More importantly\, most research that’s available haven’t discussed specific steps regarding implementation.\n​\nUntil now.\n​\nIn this webinar\, Madhu Gaganam\, Chief Digital Strategist at Logical Heuristics will present the following:\n​\nContext and condensed genesis of the history of Industry 4.0\nGoals\, Challenges and Benefits of Smart Manufacturing\nBusiness Enablers driving Smart Manufacturing\nThe 6 Components of an Effective Manufacturing Transformation\nStrategy Design and the Execution Model \nThere are opportunities to improve efficiencies across labor\, materials and energy through the application of smart manufacturing principles. But businesses need to go beyond the hype of technology and the usual “siloed solution approach” which only contributes to a higher failure rate on digital innovation. A holistic and comprehensive approach that includes a balanced perspective is a must. An effective Industry 4.0 transformation must consider and leverage the people factor (e.g. employees\, customers\, partners\, vendors\, suppliers) in order to drive a truly successful digital innovation.\n​\nIdeal Attendees:\nCxOs\, Head of Manufacturing\, Program Manager\, Engineers\, Strategy Officers\, Media \nNote: Request for an invite early on the website. It is a free online event

SUMMARY:Hacking a Better Hotel Experience: AI and Emerging Tech in Hospitality
DESCRIPTION:Do you have some ideas for a better hotel experience? Build them in a weekend! \nPresented by SnapShot in collaboration with HEDNA’s North American conference in Austin\, we’re hacking new solutions for hotels. The conference is bringing together hoteliers and tech vendors from around the world to discuss the challenges and opportunities within the online and electronic distribution space. The hackathon event is part of this exploration\, offering a space for discovery and new ideas for application to the global hospitality industry. \nJoin us for a 36-hour sprint implementing a variety of hospitality APIs in creating innovative\, revenue-generating\, and/or experience improving solutions for the hotel industry. The event is focused on creating solutions for hospitality that leverage artificial intelligence\, machine learning\, and other emerging technologies. \nCould you create a bot that helps match hotel guests to things to do once in the destination? What about using data and machine learning to deliver the optimal matrix of prices for a particular hotel’s room mix? Is there an application for augmented reality within a hotel’s operations — for example\, in helping ensure consistency in the way a hotel room is presented to a new guest? \nStartups\, as well as ad-hoc teams of developers and designers\, are welcomed to join this sprint hack to develop applications that solve real pain points for both travelers and hoteliers. \nFinalists will be presented to conference attendees at HEDNA\, the largest hotel electronic distribution association in the world. So not only do you get to hack at HomeAway but your app could also be seen by thousands of hoteliers and tech providers!
