Virtual Keynote

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED: COMPETING IN THE NEXT CHAPTER OF U.S. MANUFACTURING

Gwenaelle Huet, EVP, Industrial Automation, Schneider Electric - Caspar Herzberg, CEO, Aveda

Get ready for the largest, most exciting Automate ever, with this virtual pre-note keynote that will set the stage for North America’s premier robotics and automation trade show.

Modern industrial organizations aren't short on technology; they are short on connected outcomes. Too often, value is lost between data insight and floor-level action. This "pre-note" explores how to bridge that gap by integrating energy intelligence and software-defined automation to move from advice to execution.

Join Gwenaelle Huet , executive vice president of Industrial Automation, Schneider Electric, and Caspar Herzberg , CEO of AVEVA, as they outline how modern manufacturing organizations can begin the next chapter of their digital transformation. The discussion will be moderated by Robert Huschka, the vice president of Education Strategies at the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), and streamed live at 11 AM ET, Tuesday, June 9, on YouTube and LinkedIn.

Don’t miss this opportunity to begin your Automate journey – by learning how you can navigate energy volatility and workforce pressures while building the capabilities that will take your organization into its future.
