| #249 - Smart Manufacturing Plants: Boosting Productivity and Competitiveness of US Industry (10E04) | |||
| Five presentations will be followed by a roundtable discussion. Smart Manufacturing Plants prevent problems before they occur. Examples of problems Smart Plants prevent include unplanned shutdowns, excessive energy use,unwanted safety events, and environmental emissions. Accurate real time material and heat balances around individual processes are the foundation of the Smart Plant. Such balances are enabled by accurate real time plant measurements (e.g. flow rates, compositions, temperatures, etc). | |||
