The Digital Utility Plant: Unlocking value from the digitization of productionCapgemini
Digital utility plants to unleash big improvements in production costs and environmental impact.
Utilities around the world are leveraging digital technologies to enhance efficiency and optimize production. Examples show impressive returns, but we wanted to understand the wider picture of the value and benefits of digital plants. We surveyed 200 senior executives in utility companies around the world with annual revenues of more than $1 billion to know about their digital plant initiatives.
Industrial equipment companies, the products they create, and the ecosystems in which they operate are becoming more connected by the day. This connectivity provides an opportunity for industrial equipment manufacturers but also the risk of cyber attacks. Read the three steps are important for industrial equipment companies that want to achieve cyber resilience.

Smart Factories: How can manufacturers realize the potential of digital indus...Capgemini
A revolution in manufacturing is firmly underway. Infineon, a German semiconductor manufacturer, is investing
$105 million in the next five years in order to turn its Singapore plant into a smart factory. It took robots and
3D Printing to make Adidas bring back manufacturing to Germany. A leading fragrance maker in Switzerland
ramped up capacity by a third in the past three years, all through addition of robots.
To assess how manufacturers can drive most value from smart factories, we surveyed 1000 senior executives
of large companies across key sectors and countries.
Here are the key findings from the research:
The prize:
• Smart factories could add $500 billion to $1.5 trillion in value added to the global economy in
five years
• Manufacturers predict overall efficiency to grow annually over the next five years at 7 times the
rate of growth since 1990
• We estimate that smart factories can nearly double operating profit and margin for an average
automotive OEM manufacturer
The challenge:
• 76% of manufacturers either have a smart factory initiative that is ongoing or are working on
formulating it. And more than half of manufacturers (56%) have aligned $100 million or more
towards smart factories.
• However, only 14% of companies are satisfied with their level of smart factory success. Only 6%
of manufacturers are ‘Digital Masters’: at an advanced stage in digitizing production processes
and with a strong foundation of vision, governance and employee skills.
• Digital Masters outpace all other categories in realizing the benefits of smart factories

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

In seeking to automate, organisations face significant risks to realise
projected benefits due to failure to comprehensively scope what they are
trying to achieve and understand where the impact of change falls.
… a significant driver for these evolving needs is the development of automation
“The evolving demands of the 21st century supply chain are placing an
enormous challenge on individuals and organisations, and requires them to
rapidly adapt and re-skill.”
A rapidly changing automation landscape has increased the possibilities and
requires a broadening in thinking to maximize the beneficial impact.

Good morning and welcome to the Siecap automation and robotics breakfast. For those of your who don’t know me my name is David Irvine, the Chief Executive of Siecap and I will be your host for todays proceeding
The context for the breakfast today is a follow on from the themes of innovation we have addressed in the last few breakfast series in 2018 and 2017. We heard from Jonathon reeve from the UK who is an amazon / ecommerce expert to discuss the trends and impacts of that ecommerce demands. We also had Paul Bell from a Hong Kong based company called open source that specialist in block chain solutions particle in developing Asian nations.
Prior to these breakfasts we actually ran an automation event back in 2015, so today is really a revamp on the incredible changes that have taken place in the last 5 years or so.
Today we wil cover the topic in two parts. Firstly my colleague geoff Knowles will run through an outline of what has changed and what you should be considering
Following Geoff will be Graham Bingham who is one of the countries leading automation experts and he will give an overview of an industry solution that demonstrates scalability and speed to market benefits.
Some general house keeping for today,
Bathrooms are at our rear
If you hear the fire alarm the emergency assembly area is outside in the square by the grass.
Breakfast will be served while we speak so if you breakfast arrives please dig in!
If you could indulge me for a few minutes before we get into the headline session for today I thought I would give a quick introduction to Siecap.
We are a full service project management and advisory firm that provides services across the asset / investment lifecycle.
Strategy, Feasibility, Project Delivery and business improvement
Whilst some of you may know us from our supply chain experience we do cover these services across mining, energy, agribusiness and infrastructure sectors. By way of example we area
Feasibility studies for major mining companies like BHP and South 32.
Project development for a cement and lime project in PNG
Project Delivery for Barangaroo Australia's largest casino on the foreshore of Sydney harbour
Business Improvement projects for Peabody energy
Assisting NZ super with an investment strategy in the ag sector
However one of the key areas we are particularly famous and passionate for is work in the supply chain and procurement areas.
Over the past few years we have been privileged to serve some of the largest organisations in Australia in areas of
Supply Chain strategy
Warehouse and transport[rt optimisation
Project Development and delivery
Inventory and planning
Procurement and contracting
Joining us today are our guests drawn from the technology, retail, oil & gas, resource, automotive, government, courier, executive search, and industrial property sectors.
Before we get into the meat of the topic I thought I would read this quote and provide leave some guiding thoughts.
Key worlds, organisations and individuals need to adapt and re-skill. Whiles we all represent our organisation we as individuals need to find a way to get across these topics to stay fresh and relevant.
Whilst we will cover many concepts today, If we leave only one idea in your head today then today has been a success.
Jonathan Reeve, no one making money
Dense pallets - woolies
25% efficiency by managing leadtime drops - AI
What has changed: Increasingly comprehensive digitisation and readably connectable technology enables a machines across the SC to be harnessed in a linked manner
The 21st supply chain design has to incorporate a multitude of inputs and consider cross chain impacts
Why it has changed: to support Productivity, compliance, service
What you should consider: shorter life cycles, scoping of the problem, business readiness, leadtime

Demand management is most proven SC application E2One
At Ocado, our customers’ orders are picked and packed in highly automated warehouses using swarms of purpose-built robots. These robots are capable of collaborating to pick a typical 50-item order in a matter of minute
Go back to what has changed introduction. – lets examine what is happening the drivers ‘conditions are right’ .
Three examples under discusson with Siecap client base, Footprint – Sennheiser, car moving Gatwick AP Eagers, Ugly products BSL
RAAS Honda Cobalt Fetch – aid seasonal spike management
Mini load to shuttle – dematic
Benfits broadening – downstream benefits essential from payback and impact perspective,
Capability change = new solutions being rolled out shift from mini load solutions to shuttle to goods to man
Scale = smaller units (goods to man) add
Vendors – china
Raas- surge capcity, seasonal
Businesses are increasingly intrigued with RaaS because of its flexibility, scalability, and lower cost of entry than traditional robotics programs. These attributes allow small- and medium-sized businesses to benefit from robotics without the often cost-prohibitive initial investment.
Slower – AGV, product profile, not outside, predictable, uniform
Can you pull it off, less of a track record
AG is uncontrained by infrastructure but faces lots of chemical regulation, cars millions of road rules to be managed
Needs 5G, regulations
AGV – Automated Trucks
5+ states in US allow roboit last mile, Occado in UK
Rio Tinto has 73 autonomous trucks operating 24 hours a day at four mines in Australia’s Mars-red northwest corner
BHP, the world’s largest mining company, is also deploying driverless trucks and drills on iron ore mines in Australia.
Autonomy has become the most discussed topic in relevance to automation in agriculture.
Precision agriculture in simple terms is identifying the exact nutrient/ chemical conditions of the soil based on the geographical location and using precise amount of seeds/ chemicals/ fertilisers for specific location and time. Number of technological advancements such as camera and geo mapping technologies are driving the force towards precise technology.
