Product Manager - Bakery/Confection Harpak-ULMA Packaging Taunton, MA, United States
Description: Machine maintenance is a given, but every producer seeks to better control machine downtime – planned or unplanned. Traditionally, maintenance was either performed by in house staff, or required an onsite visit by an expert field technician. Both approaches have their pros and cons. Today the options for maintaining and optimizing assets are considerably more varied thanks to technology. Smart and connected machines introduce new possibilities from self-diagnosis and remote OEE to Augmented Reality and Digital Twins, all designed to increase MTTR while reducing the costs, time and production impact of maintenance efforts. Becker, the Harpak-ULMA Bakery Segment Manager, will review examples of how such technologies are being developed today, what is coming, and the business impact they promise to deliver.
Classroom Engagement: There will be opportunity for question and answer, as well as engaging video demonstrations of the technology discussed.
