Strengthening the Supply Chain in a Complex and Competitive World
View On-Demand

Citing globalization and the rise of Asia, many industry analysts, reporters and pundits have written the obituary for manufacturing in America. But there is a growing body of evidence, including case studies and numbers, suggesting that U.S. industry is in fact adapting in creative ways to compete with - and overcome - the lure of low cost alternatives. Siemens Corporation CEO George Nolen will explore how U.S. companies are tapping into innovation to strengthen - and in some cases grow - their U.S. operations.

He will discuss specific solutions and examples within the perspective of the whole supply chain including totally integrated automation, remote monitoring, security, transportation, distribution, and global sourcing. With experience across different industries such as process industries, industrial chemicals, healthcare, automotive, telecommunications and energy, Nolen will draw upon his experience as a provider and customer to convey an accurate picture of how U.S. business is transforming itself to stay relevant and competitive in an increasingly complex global marketplace.

"Radio Frequency Identification" or "RFID" as it is more commonly known has broad application across numerous industries throughout the world. Our panel discussion focuses on what RFID is and its usefulness for companies operating in the industrial chemical processing industry. We will look beyond the “buzz” of the Wal-Mart mandate and show how RFID can be a valuable tool in the areas of security, asset protection and equipment management, among others. In this discussion we will take a look specifically at these areas and the benefits this new technology can bring to the CPI.

RFID: A Practical Perspective for Food Manufacturers
View On-Demand

The food industry's focus on food safety, mainly with the 2002 Bioterrorism Act, has mandated one step backward, one step forward traceability. To help them do this, many companies have turned to Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). RFID tags - data memory chips - are affixed to a product, case, pallet or container and store product data. In addition to aiding with compliance, RFID tags have practical applications in supply chain management, product identification, equipment management, quality management, and consumer confidence. This panel will explore RFID technology in the food industry - what it is, its benefits, and its practicality. Panelists will discuss what is necessary and what is not.

The FDA’s Process Analytical Technologies (PAT) initiative is designed to transform the way drugs are made now and in the future. The need for manufacturers to understand how their processes work and how technology can influence these processes is more important than ever. Our panel of industry experts will discuss PAT and other quality control initiatives such as 21 CFR Part 11 and how the convergence of these can transform the industry.
