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 pro's and cons. Today, the options for maintaining and optimizing assets are considerably more varied, thanks to technology. Smart, connected machines introduce new possibilities - from self-diagnosis and remote OEE monitoring to Augmented Reality and Digital Twins - all designed to increase Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) while reducing the costs, time and production impact of maintenance efforts. Josh Becker, the Harpak-ULMA Bakery Segment Manager will review examples of how such technologies are being deployed 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.
