Webinars

Your company has decided to embark on a digital transformation. But what does this mean? And how can you get your company off to the best possible start for the digital transformation?

Top management and middle management often lack the necessary qualification and alignment, so that many transformation efforts already fail due to a common understanding of terms or a different understanding of the scope & impact of a digital transformation.
To help companies solve this problem, we have developed NEONEX Smart Starter, a two-part digital qualification series for top management and middle management.

In our Smart Starter program, we will explore the following topics with you: What are the basics of a Smart Factory? How do Lean & Digital work together? What is digital waste? Which technologies are used in a Smart Factory? What are examples of industry pioneers? And what are the key success factors for your company?

The result? Your management team has a deep, unified (conceptual) understanding of digital transformation and is ready to start.

Have we sparked your interest? Our Senior Partner Dr. Peter Stephan is hosting a one-time demo of Smart Starter with a free presentation of the 'Lean & Digital' module. Feel free to sign up for free to learn if Smart Starter can help you get started in your company's digital transformation.

WHAT IT IS ABOUT:

The terms Smart Factory and Industry 4.0 have dominated the media for years. But what does it mean? A smart factory offers approaches to achieve cost savings through transparency and automation. With more radical greenfield approaches, completely new value creation concepts are possible. The various industries differ significantly in terms of objectives, freedom of design and the necessary requirements. While the focus in the automotive sector is on worldwide, cost-effective and customer-synchronized production, in mechanical engineering it is the digital twin and the reduction of lead times.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

In this webinar we look at the core of the smart factory approach and explain how complexity costs can be avoided through transparency, monitoring and automation. We show you typical brownfield approaches that create a new type of transparency on the basis of real-time data and thus
in turn are the basis of new management processes. For mechanical engineering, we will show you typical applications to significantly shorten the order
settlement process. A look at the visions and implementations of pioneers in the industry rounds off the smart factory overview.

Industrial Internet of Things - hype technology or a genuine opportunity for manufacturing companies?

In our IIoT Kick-Off Webinar, we will present IIoT use cases and show you how you can achieve improvements quickly and with minimum invasiveness, e.g. in the areas of OEE optimization and deviation management. We will also introduce you to a number of providers and illustrate very specifically how the implementation of IIoT use cases would proceed on your premises. The webinar will then offer space for your individual questions.

You have decided to build a smart factory. But how exactly do you go about planning it?

In this webinar, you will learn which methods and technologies can be used in greenfield planning and how you should proceed in order to fully develop the potential of a smart factory. To do this, we will look at the five different phases of smart factory planning, the technologies that can be used for planning and the factors that have led to the success of our past planning projects.

We will also show you why smart factory planning is never complete - and why factory planning should be data-driven and scalable.

How can you use 3D scanning and cardboard engineering in VR to streamline your factory and workplace planning process?

In this webinar, you will learn how virtual reality (VR) applications can support your factory planning process: We'll show you how you can easily map future factory floors or individual workstations using virtual reality to test walkways and ergonomics, for example. Using 3D scanning, you can quickly create a true-to-the-original digital twin of your existing factory, which you can walk through digitally and thus use to plan numerous optimization measures. Together we discuss possible use cases and tools of VR for your manufacturing.

What steps should you take to plan the digital transformation of your company's operations?

Digital transformation of operations is more than just implementing a new ERP or MES system or switching to a paperless office. In this webinar, we use the 12-step Digital Transformation Journey model to guide you along the transformation, demystify the concept of digital transformation, and show you how to proceed to master your company's digital transformation to achieve change at the process, technology, and organizational levels. The goal? To avoid complexity costs through transparency, monitoring and automation and thus achieve cost reductions or differentiation potentials. To this end, we will discuss with you the best practices from the project experience of NEONEX and other pioneers from the industry.

"Data is the gold of the 21st century." You've probably heard this phrase before. But how exactly do you create a benefit for your company with data analytics?

In this webinar, we will introduce you to the basics, methods and concrete use cases of data analytics for manufacturing companies. We also want to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of data analytics with you and give you an outlook on how you can quickly and easily get started with the topic.

Value stream design is an important step in the optimization of material and information flows in manufacturing. But why should it be data-driven?

In this webinar, you will learn why you should use data-based value stream design to analyze your value streams quickly, in a standardized and holistic way, and to develop an overall optimum instead of using proxies to risk errors in the recognition of shared resources.

You've mastered KPI tracking and business intelligence - now how do you achieve deeper insights using data analytics?

In our Advanced Analytics Deep Dive Webinar, we will introduce you to the possibilities of advanced analytics methods such as process mining, machine learning and applications of artificial intelligence such as NLP (Natural Language Processing) and discuss use cases as well as the advantages and disadvantages together with you.
