Digital transformation is more than just a buzzword. It’s the latest in a long line of approaches to continuously improving industrial operations. That’s why this edition of AUTOMATION 2024 leads with a look at continuous improvement methodologies from ISA author Grant Vokey, whose latest book is “CoE: The Key to Data-Driven Manufacturing.” Here he shows how Lean, Six Sigma, ISO-9000 and Theory of Constraints methodologies compare and how to choose and apply one of these approaches based on your production goals.
Elsewhere, you’ll learn how integrating innovative technologies ranging from generative AI to modular automation to heartbeat diagnostics for condition monitoring can improve manufacturing resilience and competitiveness. So many new technologies require the digitalization of what still may be analog processes in today’s Smart Factory, but the rewards are there for those who make the move. The subject matter experts gathered in this issue have a lot of wisdom to share.
Find insights and advice in these pages and in earlier editions of AUTOMATION 2024 and InTech digital magazines through Automation.com, the publication arm of the International Society of Automation. And look for announcements highlighting the digital transformations coming to ISA publications in 2025. You’ll find more and better automation content in streamlined packages and more ways to continuously improve operations, innovation, cybersecurity, and more.
