Jacq, CEO of Mapex, and Rick Franzosa, VP of Research for Manufacturing at Tech-Clarity, Inc., will bring their deep expertise in digital transformation, operations, and advanced manufacturing to explore the challenges and opportunities in smart manufacturing in the age of AI.

Rick shares his view of top challenges and the evolving perceptions of MES, including when it became more strategic. They also explore MES implementation wisdom, including common mistakes and what companies need to do before an implementation. Even implementation failures come into the session.
They wrap up with a discussion of how AI has changed the role of MES – shallow or deep? Is AI a differentiating factor for MES already? How to avoid false starts when adding AI to MES. And a look ahead at what industrial companies should be doing now to prepare their operations for unknown future realities. Watch the full video podcast here.
