Record Audience Experiences Convergence of Physical and Digital Worlds
BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#DigitalTransformation–A record crowd gathered in Boston last week for the annual LiveWorx®
digital transformation event, where attendees explored how digital
transformation is becoming a reality for an ever-increasing number of
manufacturing companies around the world.
The event brought together more than 6,400 of the industry’s greatest
minds from more than 40 countries (with approximately 7,000 more
live-streaming the event) for four days of interactive workshops,
facilitated industry networking, cutting-edge demos featuring the latest
enterprise technology innovations, and more. It spanned disruptive
technologies and topics including augmented reality (AR) and virtual
reality (VR), the industrial internet of things (IIoT), Industry 4.0,
digital engineering, artificial intelligence (AI), and robotics. This
year’s Xtropolis™
exhibit hall showcased some of the most advanced applications of
digital transformation available for the industrial enterprise. The
show’s 200,000 square foot experiential center featured displays and
tactical sessions from over 100 exhibitors who are revolutionizing their
industries.
As presenting sponsor, PTC (NASDAQ: PTC) opened the event with a keynote
from President and CEO Jim Heppelmann, who declared, “There is a growing
awareness that disruptive innovation happens at the intersection of
multiple advanced technologies, such as IoT, AR, AI, and Digital Twin.
Powered by these complementary technologies, companies now have the
tools they need to completely transform the way they generate value
through improved efficiency and productivity across products, processes,
and people.”
Companies Across Industries Bring Digital Transformation to Life
Companies
from across the industrial spectrum presented and demonstrated the
unique ways various technologies are helping them to undergo digital
transformations. Attendees heard from a wide variety of organizations,
including Johnson & Johnson, Southwest Airlines, Stanley Black & Decker,
Whirlpool, Vodafone, and more about how IIoT, AR, and other integrated
solutions are helping them achieve significant business value. A panel
featuring Aggrekko, Fujitsu, Global Foundries, and Howden pointed out
‘top tips’ for bringing digital technology such as AR to the enterprise.
Many of the 245+ sessions at the event highlighted how choosing key
strategic partners can inspire digital transformation in the industrial
sector. During one such session, Dr. Maria Wilson, global leader of data
driven advantage at Howden said, “We realized very early on in our
digital transformation journey that the most efficient and
time-effective way to execute our vision was to develop a strong
partners ecosystem.”
Consistent with that theme, PTC leveraged the LiveWorx stage to make
several announcements around alliances, investments, and a strategic
acquisition, including:
