The efficiency and quality of manufacturing are closely linked to digitalization, responsible for driving competitiveness, sustainability and innovation in companies and institutions. Essential agenda for debates, the aspects related to digitalization will be widely addressed during the8th Manufacturing Forum, the main event of the sector in the Country, what will happen in São Paulo, between the days of August 26 and 27, at Novotel São Paulo Center Norte. The forum will have as its central theme"AI, predictive and analytical models and people at the center of digitalization, driving the Brazilian industry.
On the opening panel titled "Prospecting, strategic model and operations aligned to ensure safe production management, balanced and competitivewill be presented as the pharmaceutical segment, regardless of the differences in profiles of national industries, seeks greater efficiency, optimization of resources and skills to adapt to Industry 4.0. The fourth industrial revolution is characterized by the development of fully interconnected and collaborative systems, using emerging technologies (Big Data, Internet das Coisas, Sistemas Ciberfísicos, Digital Twins and Artificial Intelligence with the potential to revolutionize the pharmaceutical market, the distribution chains and the quality of pharmaceutical products
I am confident that digital transformation in our sector will be crucial for sustainable health. It is necessary to focus on digital health, especially, in the training of technology professionals, in system integration, efficient allocation of resources, union of sectors with converging guidelines, ethical conduct and in compliance with the legislation, specifies Shirley Meschke M. Franklin de Oliveira, Senior Executive Legal Director of Brazil & Legal Counsel for Global Access & Value (Ex-US) at Pfizer. According to her, new technologies are changing the role of partners, clients, consumers of the pharmaceutical industry and, consequently, impacting the relationships between organizations in the sector."From the moment industry partners have access to new technologies", passam a ter demandas/necessidades diferentes, it remains for the industry to rethink its business model, that is to say, the creation, delivery and capture of value, synthesize Shirley
In the lecture"Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence", John Maia, director of AI strategies at Venturus, developer of technological solutions, will clarify why the creation of LLMs has given users a lot of power. LLMs (Large Language Models) are types of artificial intelligence models created to understand and generate text. According to Maia, currently it is no longer necessary to resort to thousands of tools to capture, understand and transform data into information. AI reduces bureaucratic tasks and focuses on what matters: creating competitive advantages. Understanding the functioning of Generative AI will provide valuable insights into productive optimization, besides being an important factor in the design of short and medium-term strategies, explain Maia
In the parallel sessionsStrategic Manufacturing, Luiz Egreja, senior client executive at Dassault Systemes, will discuss the complexity in industrial operations and the significant increase in the complexity of these operations, due to a series of factors involving the supply chain, proliferation of new products, lack of Human Resources to operate in productive and complex processes. All these situations add up to the impact on all the activities of companies, do marketing to Human Resources. Let's emphasize the aspects that impact the manufacturing operations of companies, evaluating also other affected areas. To conclude, for each area within manufacturing, affected by the increase in complexity, we will provide some ideas and recommendations based on our experience at Dassault, to avoid a negative impact on their operations and finances, inform Church
Ariadne Garotti, VP & Managing Director of Efeso, will present the current importance of integrating all links in the end-to-end value chain. In the past, there was only a focus on the factory or on industrial processes; however, today the concern is focused from the beginning of the chain with the clear definition of the business strategy until the product reaches the customer, in a fully integrated and synchronized way. We will also demonstrate how the digital platform can be a great ally in the efficiency of the value chain, bringing agility, real-time data and the concept of "less paper" within operations, reiterates Ariadne
Innovation – In the parallel sessionAumentando a Excelência da Ordem à Entrega, Rüdiger Leutz,CEO, and Fabrício Sousa,Mobility Partner, both from Porsche Consulting will present how Order-to-Delivery is the main multifunctional business process – end to end – of a company to meet the needs of customers, in a more efficient and flexible way. The interaction between sales, production & logistics, purchases, finance and development is fundamental. However, companies from all sectors face similar challenges with delivery performance. A survey by Porsche Consulting showed that 48% of companies would like to have shorter delivery times, while 19% of customers are dissatisfied with the punctuality of delivery. At the same time, up to 12% of annual revenue is lost in profits, due to internal difficulties and turmoil arising from inefficiencies in the processes. Organizations also complain about the inefficiency of decision-making among all partners, especially sales, production and purchasing, exposes Leutz
Such challenges require companies to adapt to respond to changes in supply and demand contexts. In the lecture, we will focus on the Order-to-Delivery methodology, that allows returning manufacturing to the requirements of flexibility and product customization, through a stable and profitable operational model, complements Sousa
The digitalization of the industry represents a transformation in the way companies operate and compete globally. This will be the subject of the lecture "Digitalization of production: cases of increased industrial competitiveness through the relationship between ICT and companiesby Carlos Alberto Fadul Corrêa Alves, executive director of the Certi Foundation. Practical examples of successful projects of the Foundation with companies will be explored, demonstrating how collaboration between Science and Technology Institutions (STI) and industries drives competitiveness through the implementation of Industry 4 projects.0. As a conclusion, we intend to demonstrate that the digitalization of industry is not just a trend, but another necessity for companies that wish to maintain their competitiveness in the global market. We emphasize that the technological challenge for the implementation of I4 technologies.0 requires robust methodologies, partnership and collaboration to drive digital transformation, promoting a more digital and efficient future for the industrial sector, emphasizes Corrêa Alves
