I am Md Zaid Shafiq, the grandson of Saudi Aramco employee Mohammed Ifteqaruddin Badge #140948, Ras Tanura Refinery Maintenance Department, Technical Advisor Mechanical Services (1977 to 2010). I would like to share a report about my recent attendance at The Man’Exe-2023 Conference with the Aramco Expats global community.
I recently had the incredible opportunity to attend the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Telangana's Flagship Conference on Manufacturing Excellence, known as Man’Exe-2023. The event was held at the luxurious Hotel Westin in Hyderabad on November 1, 2023. This one-day conference and exhibition was packed with exciting sessions and exhibits, making it a day to remember.
The Man’Exe-2023 Conference was a hub of innovation and knowledge exchange. With over 10 exhibitors showcasing cutting-edge technologies, and a gathering of more than 200 conference delegates, the atmosphere was buzzing with energy. The event also featured B2B meetings, building connections and collaborations within the industry.
The conference started with a session on the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics in shaping the manufacturing future. It was mind-blowing to see how these technologies are paving the way for efficient and smart manufacturing.
One of the highlights of the event was about the impact of digital manufacturing. Attendees had the chance to learn about success stories, and understood the practical applications of digital technologies in the manufacturing sector.
Methods were discussed on how to make things 'green'. Speakers emphasized the need for green practices and discussed innovative approaches to create a more eco-friendly manufacturing ecosystem.
Understanding the challenges in implementing AI was another key session. Experts shared valuable and best practices, providing attendees with a roadmap for successfully integrating artificial intelligence into their manufacturing processes.
With the automotive industry undergoing a major transformation, the conference addressed the rising significance of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and their components in the manufacturing process. Attendees gained an idea about the latest developments and future trends in this sector.
The Man’Exe-2023 Conference was an eye-opener, showing a glimpse into the exciting future of manufacturing. From the potential of AI to the evolving of EV manufacturing, the event covered it all. I left the conference feeling inspired and motivated by the advancements in technology and the impactful discussions that unfolded. It's events like these that make me excited about what lies ahead in the world of manufacturing.
A special appreciation goes to my grandfather, Mohammed Ifteqaruddin, badge # 140948; for urging me to join this amazing event. His support to gain these experiences really opened my eyes to the future of manufacturing. I appreciate his constant guidance, which made my time at the conference enriching.
