We’ve been making things without data insights for centuries—pyramids, cathedrals, entire industrial revolutions. But trial and error isn’t exactly a competitive strategy anymore. To stay ahead, modern manufacturing needs more than just efficient assembly lines—it needs systems that collect, analyze, and act on data at every step.

In this session, we’ll break down:
- Integrating data pipelines — How to connect manufacturing processes without disrupting operations.
- Making data useful — Strategies for transforming raw production data into actionable insights.
- Predictive strategies — Using real-time analytics to identify and prevent issues before they escalate.
- Lessons from real-world builds — What worked, what failed, and the systems we refined along the way.

If you're building or optimizing data systems in manufacturing (or any industry with complex processes), this talk will give you practical tools and strategies based on my team's experience across our many manufacturing businesses.
