Webinar #2: Creating The Control Room of the Future – Today

The workload of Control Room Operators is continually increasing in volume and complexity. Right now most control room operators rely on procedures, checklists and rules of thumb during start-ups, shut downs, rate changes, configuration changes and more, resulting in increased human error, loss of efficiency, safety and environmental incidents.

By automating these complex processes and work flows, Control Room Operators are freed up to monitor for maximum asset production and ready to respond to any potential safety or environmental issues.

Watch this on demand webinar for a roadmap to extending and automating control room operations.

• Vicki Knott, CEO and Co-Founder, Crux OCM

Webinar #3: How to Improve Plant Performance by Improving the Worker Experience

Manufacturers around the globe have been focused on the opportunities of cyber physical connectivity being driven by industry 4.0. However, as many implement, they are learning that they are missing the 'human factor' - the marriage between technology and human intellect that's driving industry 5.0.

The 'How to Improve Plant Performance by Improving the Worker Experience' webinar examines how technology can support human performance and the worker experience - and have a significant impact on the business.

This case study driven webinar moves beyond the digital twin, and explores the concept of the digital triplet and how you can monitor the experience your workers have day to day (and understand the impact their performance has on the plant!). The digital triplet creates a more autonomous plant - enabling more autonomous workers and better worker experiences.
