17-20th November 2020, ONLINE EDITION
[industry 4.0 conference]
Industry 4.0
Industrial IoT and Industry 4.0 are well known concepts today. However, their introduction is a considerable challenge for several Hungarian manufacturing companies, even though financial obstacles were not involved.
The introduction of Industry 4.0 is a complex and large-scale technology, IT, HR, and management task. Despite the challenge, it is worth the effort, which is why this year’s conference is concentrating on case studies to demonstrate the processes required to introduce Industry 4.0. Presentations will also share and analyse the pitfalls involved and show possible solutions. Such risks may include the resistance of other departments, lack of competent staff or insufficient knowledge of the technology, as well as difficulties finding the appropriate contractor.
Within the framework of the lectures and discussions, we will openly face all of these issues, and this time we will take a look back at the last half decade: where did we start on the path to industry 4.0, and where are we now?
Smart Factory ConnAction is purely Industry 4.0 conference. The 6th iteration this year is returning in an online format due to the pandemic and to ensure predictability. This year is different in every respect. Consequently – to utilise the advantages of the online format – the conference will include a number of interactive workshops. A panel of industry experts will discuss the developments of the last half decade, the beginnings, the improvements provided by Industry 4.0, the current situation and the expectations for the next 3 to 5 years.
We consider the provision of the usual networking opportunities that ConnAction conferences are well-known for, and online space will not prevent us from doing this. Most of the participants in the conference share your problems and challenges. We therefore we advise you to use the event’s application to make appointments with other participants and contact each other in quick face to face video calls.
During the conference, the whole of Tuesday and Wednesday morning are dedicated to parallel, small group (12 to 15 participants) professional workshops. A wide selection of topics is on offer including the implementation of secure remote access for OT systems, the creation of knowledge and value from data, and the cost factors involved in the introduction of Industry 4.0 solutions. Select those that are the most relevant for you and sign in using the application. We look forward to your active participation.
Instead of a physical venue, this year’s presentations will be streamed live on an online platform that even enables you to ask questions just like at a real-life event. Your active participation is essential at the workshops for the whole team to develop and for you to gain the most by the end of the web meeting sessions.

The use of real time OEE metrics and calculations is the first step towards Industry 4.0 as it often enables us to achieve significant results with a small budget and minimum effort. During the workshop we will collect the factors that are in every respect worth taking into consideration for the implementation of an OEE monitoring system. We will also cover the potential pitfalls and dead ends as well as the purposes that OEE metrics should NOT be used for. The maximum number of participants for this workshop is 15 persons. Please sign in with the video and audio switched on to ensure group work that is as effective as possible.
09:15-11:00
The workshop will discuss the main areas where a manufacturing company can create value using advanced analytics / AI, like production quality, predictive maintenance, supply chain optimization, utilities management with a deep dive on production quality / optimization. Use cases from different industries will be discussed, including demo of predictive modelling process and use of machine learning, data visualization, event stream processing. ROI calculation examples will be discussed to help participants initiate similar projects in their companies.
13:30-15:00
The workshop will present best practices, techniques and tools used for identifying and discovering the operation of the OT network. These solutions help to gain a better insight into the industrial infrastructure from a security perspective. The monitoring of network communication and device behaviour modelling provides feedback about the OT network, its processes, and its state of security.
The questions the workshop will answer are as follows:
1. Which networks and devices are in your OT environment?
2. What are the vulnerabilities of these and how to monitor them?
3. How to identify threats?
4. What are the incident management options?
Everyone is welcome to the IT/OT Security presentation!
13:30-15:00
We will work together with the participants during the workshop to set up a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) based approach for the introduction and operation of Industry 4.0 related systems. We will come up with a list of the various obvious and less demonstrable costs and risk factors – and we can anticipate that this list will not be short. By the end of the workshop participants will have a clear picture of the elements (for example SCADA, MES, APS, etc.) that need to be considered as part of the introduction of an industrial IT system. The maximum number of participants for this workshop is 15 persons. Please sign in with the video and audio switched on to ensure group work that is as effective as possible.

In the past, with the expansion of Industry 4.0, and more recently due to the pandemic there has been significantly greater demand for access to industrial OT systems. However, it is not easy to find the ideal solution given the grey zone GSM Modems, strict IT Security Policies, practical adaptability and risk assessment, as well as Teamviewer as a well-known and not always appropriately used tool, not to mention the new and fancy AR/VR solutions waiting to break into the market. The aim of the workshop is to enable each participant to gain an insight into the ideal solution for secure remote access for their own particular OT systems. The maximum number of participants for this workshop is 15 persons. Please sign in with the video and audio switched on to ensure group work that is as effective as possible.
15:30-17:00
The world needs great solutions.
Microsoft Power Apps enables everyone to quickly create and share applications with a minimum coding requirement.
The workshop will offer a demo of building a customized application.
After the demo you will have the opportunity to create the application using the free trial version.
09:15-11:00
When we started to connect computers and manufacturing equipment to networks in the name of Industry 4.0 and a IoT a great many cracks in security and other risks were created. The purpose of the workshop is to work together to identify these industrial security risks and to assess how modern OT security solutions (IPS/IDS) could help to achieve an acceptable risk level of security. The maximum number of participants for this workshop is 15 persons. Please sign in with the video and audio switched on to ensure group work that is as effective as possible.
09:00-11:00
The introduction of Industry 4.0 brings along with it numerous challenges for management above and beyond the challenges pertaining to technology. The decisions that need to be made require manufacturing technology, automation and IT related knowledge. The respective decisions have an effect on employees and established processes. In order to achieve the common goals, measures must be aligned with senior management, and with the departments within the organizations, as well as with the suppliers. Furthermore, it must be insured that the changes are accepted by the operators, maintenance personnel, and engineers as well as by all the parties that will use these systems at the end of the day. Everybody must be convinced that it is essential that they make decisions based on data and that they must disregard the outdated approach of “we have always done it like that” and “this is the way it has been done for 20 years now”. People need to be persuaded to change their attitudes. During the workshop, we will bring these challenges up and seek answers together. The maximum number of participants: 15 persons. Please sign in with the video and audio switched on to ensure group work that is as effective as possible.

Industry 4.0 is at the heart of digital transformation and refers to the intelligent networking of machines and processes for industry using information and communication technology. A promising approach is linked to the interoperable connection of these complex structures. Interaction between machines, products, people, processes and enterprises triggers positive change at every level. For future developments it is crucial to find effective and flexible approaches to link heterogeneous systems and, above all, data structures. This presentation shows how we wish to address the widely discussed topic of interoperability by providing an open approach that is not limited to industrial challenges.
14:15-14:40
IDC has conducted its annual survey among end users and service providers in Hungary about their plans regarding IoT solutions, about the possible fields of use and about the effect this topic has on COVID developments.

Experience from the past, preparations for the „new normal”.
16:25-16:40
I worked for years as an Enterprise Architect with clients from the manufacturing industry on various manufacturing automatization projects. Manufacturing companies have very different maturity levels in respect to digitalization. Some use cutting edge solutions, others are tactical followers and there are those who have just become aware of the race. This is a swiftly changing environment and digitalization not only offers a great many advantages, but is also readily available. There are best practice solutions that are really relatively uncomplicated to introduce today. You do not necessarily need to be quicker than a lion…
16:40-16:50
During the discussion, we look back at the developments of industrial IT during the last decade and at the advance of IoT and Industry 4.0. We will look at what has come true, what has remained a promise, and what has already been forgotten – based on reality and not merely on buzzwords. On the panel: Katalin Laczkó (Jabil), Attila Vincze (Howmet), Gábor Szabó (Microsoft), more panel members will be announced shortly. Moderator: Péter Bóna (Com-Forth).

The coronavirus crisis of 2020 has changed the way we work, perhaps forever. Travel bans, lockdowns, and social distancing policies have disrupted business around the world, forcing companies to find new ways to work. The trend toward a more distributed, mobile, and flexible workforce was already clearly apparent, but the crisis has dramatically accelerated this shift and brought the use of digital technology to a new level. Augmented reality technology has the power to boost frontline worker productivity by as much as 50 per cent and reduce human errors by up to a whopping 90 percent. Transforming frontline work is in its early stages, and rapid learning is underway. But the effect on overall productivity may prove to have the greatest digital impact so far.
11:15-11:40
I would like to present a history of development that follows an innovative system of ideas, which we generally identify today under the name of Industry 4.0. Five years ago, in the factory we envisioned, we imagined automated solutions, the chief objective of which was to significantly reduce work intensity. Accordingly, we systematically examined our value-creating processes and then, over time (and with practice), came to understand that the extension of human capabilities leads to much more exciting and effective outcomes.
11:40-12:30
On the panel: István Hagen (Bonafarm), Zoltán Fekete (Moxa), György Melegh (Com-Forth), Tamás Kocsis (Alverad), Gergő Gyebnár (Black Cell), Árpád Bányai (Microsoft). Moderator: Péter Bóna (Com-Forth).

In recent years, the evolution of automation technology together with traditional machine control systems has blurred the boundaries between the OT production world and the IT world. IIoT projects are gaining more momentum but also bring the challenge to everybody in the ecosystem. Not only from technical side but also from a solution perspective. There is not one company which can easily just deliver on these very diverse challenges. That is why Moxa is strongly putting the focus on solutions brought together by a our portfolio of scalable IIoT Gateways combined with a strong network of IIoT partners. In our virtual meeting with you we will show how you can create YOUR IIoT solutions. Easy! Fast! Scalable! We will show you our miniature factory production in which: · Those machines are controlled by Siemens PLCs · Non-invasive as well as invasive data is combined with IIoT sensors from Bosch Connected Devices and Solutions · The plant can be remotely accessed via TeamViewer IoT · the advantages of the cloud connection are leveraged with Schneider EcoStruxure Machine Advisor And all of this is possible and realized through our Moxa IIoT Gateways!
