In this series of webinars, G-W Process Optimization reveals how familiar software, such as Microsoft Excel and the New Dropbox, can be used to introduce everyone working in SME factories to the benefits of Industry 4.0. That’s right: no proprietary, locked-in, specialized software.

These webinars describe the Wind4 Package, a customized, hands-on education system in which SMEs learn how to generate and instantly deliver text, pictorial and video documentation as well as automatic time-series data.

The webinars will explain how everyone can become conversant with Industry 4.0's methods for better, faster decision-making. Everyone will develop the know-how to recognize what technologies will be advisable in the future to operate both manufacturing and their respective departments more efficiently. And everyone will understand how information can be shared across departments to simplify their own tasks. Everyone: techs and supervisors; sales and marketing; engineering and maintenance; finance and HR; and, especially senior management, in charge of strategy, budgets and time frames.

The Manufacturing Committee of the HIA-LI is having a panel of experts to help you learn more about available technologies and how to decide ideal technologies for your manufacturing company.

Recently, Wall Street Journal has reported that for the first time in U.S. history, manufacturers are hiring more employees with college degrees than employees with none-college-degrees. Hiring for manufacturing is shifting towards higher education. Why is this shift happening?

The answer is technology and the immediate need for digital transformation at any manufacturing organization. In this digital age, manufacturers are trying to benefit from technology more than ever to be more competitive in the workplace. As technology is becoming more important for manufacturing, learning about new technologies is also becoming more important for manufacturing companies in the U.S.

This is the first Manufacturing Committee of HIA-LI meeting in 2020 hosted by Long Island Chapter of IAMCP. Technology Committee of HIA-LI will be with us as well. For more information on the event, proceed to "Register".

- Learn about some of the biggest threats in the cyber security space today - ransomware, phishing, botnets, DDoS, malware, and more.
- Find out what business owners should be looking for and who is responsible for the safety of information.
- Find out how the January 1 deadline for NIST 800-171 Standard relates to manufacturers with DOD contracts.
- Learn about the “Chain of Security” and why a good cybersecurity profile means more than just a strong IT infrastructure.
- Discover why small and medium manufacturers are the #2 most targeted industry by cyber attackers.
- Learn the basics of how to start building a Cyber Security action plan.
