After watching Cahalane, Heppelmann, and Hill summarize the Colfax story, it\u2019s easy to see why.<\/p>\n<p>As Cahalane explained, Colfax has already leveraged the PTC ThingWorx IoT platform and Microsoft IoT technology to accelerate its digital transformation\u2014and add new value for customers. In addition, Colfax\u2019s ESAB business now produces connected welding and cutting equipment that helps customers monitor usage and evaluate asset productivity. ESAB, meanwhile, can analyze the data its products create to better detect anomalies, help customers optimize performance, and minimize the time, impact, and costs involved in field service.<\/p>\n<p>Heppelmann and Hill both emphasized that PTC and Rockwell Automation have built their connected-manufacturing services on Microsoft Azure Intelligent Cloud and IoT Edge. And to underscore the importance of connected manufacturing, Envision sponsors <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.microsoft.com\/en-us\/solution\/industries\/discrete-manufacturing\/pros-smart-cpq-solution\/\">PROS<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.microsoft.com\/en-us\/solution\/industries\/discrete-manufacturing\/contract-lifecycle-management-solution\/\">Icertis<\/a> presented an entire session dedicated to monetizing connected products.<\/p>\n<p>They discussed how, thanks to AI, the days of pricing products manually based on anecdotal experience and hoping for profitability are over.\u00a0 It\u2019s now possible to dynamically set winning prices based on a customer\u2019s willingness to pay,\u00a0and close contracts rapidly to bring agility and intelligence to the sales process.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAI is poised to irrevocably change the way we do business. Sales, in particular, is an area that can be completely transformed by the power of AI, and companies are viewing it as a top priority for their AI-focused investments. With its ability to help create personalized customer experiences that today\u2019s buyers demand, AI is empowering organizations to rapidly fuel growth.\u201d &#8212;<\/em> Ulrich von Beck, VP, Strategic Consulting at PROS<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cFor the first time in history, contracts are being digitized, allowing enterprises to reimagine contract management and place it at the center of their commercial processes. On the sell side, it is critical that contracting\u00a0enables business and does not slow it down. Artificial Intelligence is transforming the contracting process and at Icertis we are already seeing real benefits for our customers with increased contract velocity, improved compliance and optimized commercial relationships.\u201d \u00ad\u00ad<\/em>&#8212; Monish Darda, Co-founder and CTO of Icertis<\/p>\n<p><strong>Build the factory of the future and more intelligent supply chains<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Intelligent manufacturing isn\u2019t just about smart products. It\u2019s about smarter processes\u201456 percent of manufacturers have already invested over $100 million toward smart factories.<\/p>\n<p>This Envision session highlighted one of the latest developments on the shop floor: how, with manufacturing skills in short supply, <a href=\"https:\/\/dynamics.microsoft.com\/en-us\/mixed-reality\/overview\/\">mixed reality<\/a> technology is poised to help companies meet growing customer demands for uniquely tailored products. Several presenters were enthusiastic about the opportunity to apply AI and mixed reality to deliver increased manufacturing agility and keep pace with growing product and supply chain complexity.<\/p>\n<p>As Heppelmann previously demonstrated in the opening keynote, once data from 3D product design tools is made available throughout the value chain, it can be used right there in the heart of the factory, showing an engineer exactly how to assemble the customer\u2019s bespoke product.<\/p>\n<p>We were also lucky to hear Sanjiv Sidhu, a pioneer of intelligent supply chains and co-founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.microsoft.com\/en-us\/solution\/industries\/discrete-manufacturing\/o9-integrated-business-planning-solution\/\">o9 Solutions<\/a>, speak about the role of cloud services and AI in realizing an autonomous supply chain, analogous to autonomous driving.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Create new value<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The race to meet growing customer demands\u2014and differentiate against the competition\u2014is also forcing manufacturers to create new value streams. In fact, 80 percent of manufacturers expect to use new sectors to achieve growth in the next two years. To roll out new products, build services around existing ones, and optimize these new revenue streams quickly, they\u2019ll need to commit to a more connected, AI-infused value chain. For example, Shell presented a summary of how it uses AI and Azure IoT to build <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.microsoft.com\/ai\/shell-iot-ai-safety-intelligent-tools\/?utm_source=stories&amp;utm_campaign=78564\">smarter, safer gas stations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accelerate your intelligent manufacturing journey<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Envision 2018 was full of valuable lessons for manufacturers, and now is the time to maintain that momentum. Continue learning how the latest cloud, AI, and IoT services can bring intelligent manufacturing within the reach of your businesses\u2014whatever your products, whatever your size.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How can you fully embrace intelligent manufacturing\u2014and open up new revenue streams?
