Manufacturing Leaders Roundtable
Manufacturers generate valuable data every day. How can you turn it into insights that help reduce costs, connect assets and improve operations?
Join Orange Business and fellow manufacturing leaders for a roundtable combining SAPPI’s experience, a live demonstration and practical perspectives on industrial connectivity. Bring your challenges, exchange ideas with peers and explore where data could make a difference in your own operations.
Meet your peers. Exchange ideas.
This roundtable brings together a small group of manufacturing leaders responsible for operations, energy management, industrial IT, data and digital transformation.
Designed for open discussion, the format gives you space to share your challenges, ask questions and learn from peers facing similar realities. Alongside the presentations, you’ll have time to network and build connections with fellow professionals from the manufacturing sector.
