"Nitrex is a global provider of fully integrated heat-treating solutions and technologies. The company sought to improve product and customer service to differentiate from competitors and gain market share. For that, Nitrex needed to optimize scrap rate to reduce associated costs, improve flow control and OEE. In addition, the project was complicated by the requirement to coordinate with a high number of brownfield installations and teams across multiple locations. Nitrex worked with Syntax, an AWS Partner, to map their digital transformation journey and optimize business results. The recommended solution included process and machine data analytics using industrial IoT cloud solutions running on AWS services and integrated with SAP. In this session, hear an overview of the full project’s cycle, from gathering requirements to the different stages, implementations, and management change adoptions that were needed to be successful. Attendees will gain an understanding of the Nitrex digital transformation journey, business outcomes, and next steps."
