The future of manufacturing is shifting to a digital enterprise, one where the timely acquisition of process and product data, efficient analytics, and informed decision making are creating significant competitive advantages for early adopters. Digital manufacturing technology continues to evolve but its core is all about having the right information, at the right place, at the right time.
Robert Strathman, president and director of process technology at Famsun-USA Design and Engineering, will discuss the definition of digital manufacturing, its benefits and what steps aquafeed manufacturers can take now to prepare for what the future holds at the Aquafeed Horizons Asia 2020, that will be held on March 24 in Bangkok as part of the VICTAM and Animal Health and Nutrition Asia 2020.
The theme will be Current trends and future developments in aquaculture feeds, focusing on what aquafeed producers should know and practical steps they can take to ensure they are not left behind as the industry moves forward. The conference is the 13th in a series of international conferences for the commercial aquafeed industry.
Registration and program details are available on the conference website feedconferences.com.
