Summary
Digitizing operations at one plant can be extremely challenging. Imagine scaling transformation across 11 sites. Food, pharmaceutical, industrial and consumer products packaging company Sonoco did just that — swapping manual whiteboards and jotted notes for digital, real-time data. The project turned plant-floor "noise" into a strategic advantage in maintenance, safety, and downtime reduction.
Join us on Tuesday, March 17 at 12pm ET to see the blueprint Sonoco uses to operationalize digital transformation and drive measurable ROI enterprise-wide.
What we’ll discuss:
- Standardizing at Scale: The roadmap for rolling out a unified digital model across 11+ facilities.
- From Manual to Actionable: How moving away from whiteboards and manual efforts gave the frontline the real-time data they need to actually solve problems.
- Maintenance & Reliability: Specific strategies that shifted their culture from reactive "firefighting" to high-uptime performance.
- Safety Automation: How digital workflows are being used to identify and mitigate risks before they become incidents.
Register today to discover how to stop "managing" data and start using it to drive plant-floor performance.
