Video: Applying control concepts to the adoption of industry 4.0
Control theory and control principles can be applied to human systems. Learn from an application that matches “Laplace Transforms” with the Toyota Production System – and uses Industry 4.0 (low-cost feedback loops) to do it.
Learning objectives
- Review some of what digital transformation, Industry 4.0, and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) means for automation, controls, and factory operations.
- Learn how control theory and principles can be applied to human systems in a factory setting.
- See examples from the field of how to apply Industry 4.0 elements to a Lean methodology.
- Examine steps in applying Industry 4.0 to your applications.
What does it mean to talk about digital transformation, Industry 4.0, and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)? Control theory and control principles can be applied to human systems. Learn from an application that matches “Laplace Transforms” with the Toyota Production System – and uses Industry 4.0 (low-cost feedback loops) to do it. Examples from the field provide insights into how others might approach and develop similar applications. Join the speaker for a live question and answer session after the presentation.
Presenter:
Dr. John F. Carrier is senior lecturer, MIT Sloan School of Management, in the System Dynamics Group. He has spent more than 25 years diagnosing and eliminating hidden factories in the oil and gas, petrochemical, discrete manufacturing and research laboratory facilities, saving organizations hundreds of millions of dollars and reducing operating risk. He also works with companies to successfully integrate the technology of the Industrial Internet of Things into existing organizations, focusing on developing front-line leaders in the culture of improvement. He runs a popular MIT Executive Education course on Implementing IIoT through Continuous Improvement Leadership and co-teaches an MBA course with professor John DC Little (Little’s Law). Carrier also is developing a 52 week hybrid/online course for first-year front-line leaders. He holds a BS in chemical engineering from the University of Michigan, a doctor of science (ScD) in control systems from MIT, and an MBA from the Harvard Business School.
