1:00 PM Workshop H: Enabling a Connected Workforce with a Trustworthy Data Foundation

Manufacturers cannot empower a connected workforce without reliable, accessible, and well governed data. This workshop explores how organizations transform raw, siloed information into trusted, actionable insights that support faster decisions, stronger performance, and scalable digital initiatives. Participants will learn the essential elements of a modern data foundation and how it enables frontline teams to work with clarity and confidence.

• Build a unified data foundation that connects operational, maintenance, and quality information into a single source of truth.

• Improve decision making by delivering accurate, contextualized insights directly to frontline teams.

• Strengthen data governance with clear ownership, standards, and validation processes that ensure trust at scale.

• Reduce variability and errors by replacing manual data collection with automated, real time capture.

• Accelerate digital transformation by enabling AI, analytics, and connected worker tools to operate on clean, consistent data.
