“As the manufacturing sector transitions to digital, many businesses are looking to streamline their operations,“ said Martin Boggess, Hitachi Solutions Industry VP - Manufacturing and Supply Chain. “It was important for us as a company to sponsor such an event where businesses can find the answers they’re looking for.”

The digital transformation of manufacturing processes and increased reliance on the IoT (Internet of Things) has created a need for new services and solutions. Hitachi Solutions used the conference to highlight their many smart manufacturing applications for customers seeking out full-service solutions to all of their operational needs.

As thought leaders in manufacturing and business solutions, Hitachi also gave a keynote presentation during the first day of the conference.
