EAST Session: Effective data collection is critical for optimizing production lines, yet traditional methods such as manual recording and PLC-coded data collection are fraught with inefficiencies and inaccuracies. Manual data entry often misses short downtime events and is subject to operator bias, while PLC-based systems suffer from inconsistencies, excessive costs, and revalidation challenges. The future of data collection lies in automation, modular modeling, and intelligent data processing, providing a foundation for digital transformation and sustainable manufacturing excellence. This session will explore the following concepts: · Advanced data collection goes beyond monitoring bottleneck operations, incorporating machine-level insights across all assets. · A multi-layered approach – integrating real-time signal processing, logic engines, and high-speed data acquisition – enhances fidelity, reduces integration costs, and improves root cause analysis. · Additionally, Aa Fault Learning approach dynamically identifies and ranks faults, leading to better diagnostics and predictive maintenance. · By leveraging digital twins, synchronizing multiple data streams, and enabling fast data validation, companies can significantly improve operational efficiency. · A robust data collection strategy supports MES, OEE, and AI/ML applications, ensuring accurate modeling, predictive analytics, and enterprise-wide standardization.

EAST Session: Abstract : Manufacturers have unique technology needs that require both a robust and extremely stable IT infrastructure. At the EASTEC Conference, part of the Manufacturing Technology Series, CompassMSP will showcase how cutting-edge IT and cybersecurity solutions empower manufacturing businesses to stay connected, secure, and compliant. As regulatory requirements evolve and cyber threats grow, manufacturers need robust technology solutions to streamline operations and safeguard sensitive data. See how industry-specific managed IT and security services can enhance productivity, ensure compliance with industry standards, and fortify manufacturers against cyber risks. Attendees will discover how CMMC service offerings drive efficiency, ensure regulatory compliance, and accelerate growth and productivity, empowering manufacturers to stay competitive and secure in an evolving industry. Significance/Importance : As regulatory requirements evolve and cyber threats grow, manufacturers need robust technology solutions to streamline operations and safeguard sensitive data, including but not limited to CMMC. If you want to keep your business, intellectual property, and customer information safe from cybersecurity risks, the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a best-practices cybersecurity framework every manufacturer should consider to protect their organization. If you are in the defense/DoD supply chain or are considering entering this area, CMMC will be a requirement for all contracts and will affect every contract coming down the line thereafter.
