SUMMARY:Tech Takeover: Navigating Software Workflow for Industry 4.0 - webinar
DESCRIPTION:Trapped data and disconnected digital tools prevent manufacturing firms and their customers from realizing the full potential of Industry 4.0. Software applications with disjoined data capturing methods can create interruptions in the information stream\, resulting in data silos and fewer opportunities for data ownership. As more manufacturers pivot toward the ‘factory of the future’\, which embraces distributed manufacturing\, organizations in and outside of manufacturing will have to reconcile the lack of data continuity and the potential fallout in future production efforts. \nJoin 3YourMind as they discuss the consequences of siloed data and provide a meta-analysis of the software sector as it relates to additive manufacturing and Industry 4.0. As a result of watching this discussion\, viewers will gain the following insights: \n\nLearn the role of software in Industry 4.0.\nWalk away with methods for navigating data silo challenges in manufacturing industries.\nGain a contextual understanding of Industry 4.0 concepts in practice through Automation Alley’s Project Diamond.\n\nEvent is held by Automation Alley and 3YourMind

SUMMARY:Global Economic Outlook for 2022 and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-global-economic-outlook-for-2022-and-beyond-tickets-192350634927 \n  \n\nAutomation Alley’s conference will feature international business experts who will explore the shifting dynamics of the global economy and how companies can best position themselves to take advantage of the opportunities (and rise to the challenges) of doing business around the world in 2022. \nFor example\, to what extent will the pandemic continue to impact the economic\, political\, and social outlook worldwide? Will material and labor shortages persist and prolong supply chain bottlenecks? How will the seemingly intractable U.S.-China trade conflict continue to stymie the international economy at large? Will nationalism\, populism and the decoupling of trade and investment lead to even frostier relations between the world’s leading economies? How will U.S. mid-term elections weigh on Wall Street and influence public policies related to monetary\, fiscal\, and tax strategies? \nOther things to watch out for include other geopolitical risks (i.e.\, Iran\, North Korea\, Russia and\, even more worrisome\, South China Sea territorial grabs)\, black swan events\, and potential blind spots that may disrupt the future performance of U.S. business and industry. Closer to home\, how will these factors affect Michigan’s global competitiveness\, especially advanced manufacturing and high-tech sectors? \nSpeakers will address these questions and focus on industries and countries/regions around the world where growth opportunities are particularly strong. They will also examine projected trends in manufacturing\, two-way trade and investment flows and\, finally\, identify industries and countries that will either benefit or be challenged by globalization in the short and medium terms. \n‍ \n\nAgenda\n\n8:00 a.m. Registration and Breakfast Reception\n9:00 a.m. Welcome and Introductions – Tom Kelly\, Executive Director and CEO\, Automation Alley\n9:05 a.m. Advancing Michigan’s World Leading Role in Industry 4.0 – Quentin L. Messer\, Jr.\, CEO\, Michigan Economic Development Corporation and President and Chair\, Michigan Strategic Fund-Lansing\n9:25 a.m. Global Headwind and Tailwinds – Noel Nevshehir\, Director of International Business Services and Global Strategic Partnerships\n9:35 a.m. 2022: A Year of Living Hopefully – James E. Glassman\, Managing Director\, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Head Economist for Chase Commercial Banking\n10:15 a.m. Michigan’s Future Business Index – Chris Holman\, Founder and CEO\, Michigan Business Network\n10:45 a.m. Closing Remarks\, Noel Nevshehir

SUMMARY:Webinar: Doing Business in the Post COVID-era: Part 2
DESCRIPTION:We understand travel has been very challenging\, and with the new Omicron variant\, things will become even more confusing\, especially as countries continuously re-evaluate their entry requirements. As you begin to venture out to more business meetings and events\, CAMM is proud be the first association to partner to provide a new innovative telehealth PCR service ‘Lab in your bag’ to members\, to take the stress out of inbound and outbound travel.  This new service uses an RT-LAMP Health Canada and FDA approved test kit that can provide results in 30 mins from the comfort of your office or home via a video consultation. \n  \nAs you probably know\, the global supply chain is causing chaos to various sectors\, including medical sector\, so it is hard to guarantee continuous availability of this new product.

A biomedical company specializing in COVID screening\, clinical molecular diagnostics\, workplace screening under the Assure Travel Clinic brand.
