“Just as CESMII is the home of smart manufacturing, we need this to be the platform of smart manufacturing. The cost and time to implement needs to be reduced drastically, compared to the traditional approaches of $1 million and 12 months just to get started.”

CESMII regional, headquarters and executive leaders played an important role in the recent SYSPRO WAVE customer conference event in Huntington Beach, CA. David Corcio, Dale Turner and Haresh Malkani were on-site for the three-day event, presenting the CESMII story, announcing a working collaboration, moderating a C-level customer panel, opening cocktail-reception discussions and exhibiting in the exhibition hall.
The event was held September 11-13 and invited like minded manufacturers and distributors to think outside the box and concentrate on how to make improvements within and beyond their role. CESMII CTO Haresh Malkani represented CESMII as the moderator of a general session, C-level customer panel, which provided insights on important trends necessary to succeed in today’s manufacturing and distribution environment. The panel discussed practical approaches to navigating digital transformation and Industry 4.0 across various industries, trends that real-world companies are seeing and insights into must-haves for preparing businesses to thrive far into the future.
