Webinar – Collecting Automation Data for AI Usage

Smart factory initiatives rely on accurate, real-time data—but many manufacturers are still challenged by manual data collection, siloed systems, and limited access to machine insights. The result? Delayed decisions, reduced efficiency, and missed opportunities to optimize operations.

In this webinar, Thomas Kuckhoff, Senior Product Manager for OMRON Automation helps you discover how automated data collection at the edge can transform the way production data is captured, contextualized, and shared. By leveraging edge technologies, manufacturers can unlock valuable insights from their existing equipment—without costly overhauls or operational disruption.
