The buzz: “The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment” (Warren Bennis). Today’s manufacturing facilities are capturing unparalleled amounts of data. After they determine if it’s the right data, how can they then leverage it to automate production, improve productivity and profitability, and enable predictive and intelligent, data-driven processes? The experts speak. Raymond Russ, Fujitsu Americas: “Change is inevitable, Growth is optional” (John C. Maxwell). Mike Lackey, SAP: “If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk…but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward” (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.). Dave Elmer, Hunter Douglas: “I don’t care that they stole my idea…I care that they don’t have any of their own” (Nikola Tesla).
