Discover the data-driven framework Wabtec Corporation used to filter 250+ ideas into a prioritised, high-value automation plan.

Many global manufacturers share a common frustration – Significant ambitions for automation and hundreds of ideas from the factory floor, but a lack of a structured plan to prioritise them.

How do you know which projects will deliver ROI? How do you get senior leadership to sign off on the budget? And how do you scale a strategy across multiple facilities?

In this on-demand webinar, Thomas Rupp, Lead Manufacturing Engineer at Wabtec Corporation, joins IfM Engage to share the story of their automation journey.

Starting with a high-level ambition, Thomas reveals how they used the IfM Automation Assessment to move from uncertainty to a scalable strategy that has already identified a $15 million project pipeline.

Sign up for the on-demand webinar to cover:

• The “Pilot-to-Scale” Model: How Wabtec started with a two-site pilot and scaled the framework to seven facilities (and counting).
• The Power of an Agnostic Approach: Why starting without a specific technology in mind was important to getting site-level buy-in.
• How to Filter Noise: The exact process used to filter 250+ ideas down to 15 high-impact projects.
• The “Leadership Translator”: How to use data to create a “shared language” that bridges the gap between technical engineers and budget-holders.
• Building Internal Capability: How Wabtec transitioned from using external support to building its own internal app to run the process independently.
