Enter intrigued and focused. Leave energized with new connections and empowered to deploy new ideas. 

The RAPID DEPLOY Conference Series offers attendees an invite-only opportunity to engage in a mixture of invited talks and active workshop-style sessions culminating in a synthesis activity and an actionable report out. The fifth in the series will focus on  data and modeling for digitalizing the process industries with the goal of bringing awareness of the tools, techniques, and methods available and how they can bring you and your process added value. 

Join us May 9-10, in Chicago, IL, as we explore: 

• Data Generation. Strategies to generate and gather relevant data, ensure data quality, and couple experimental and simulation-based data.
• Visualizing, Using, & Modeling Data. Data is not valuable until action is taken based on the data. From descriptive analytics to predictive and prescriptive analytics, varying levels of complexity can be used to derive insights from data and will be explored. 
• What’s Next?  More and more chemical process improvement will come from a better understanding at the smaller material scales (i.e., Quantum, Molecular). It will be especially important to ingest the details of these smaller scales into larger ones in applications such as emulsion polymerization, mixing, and electrolyse. Additionally, multiscale modeling can incorporate both fundamental models as well as data-driven modeling approaches like machine learning for hybrid model solutions. This session will address these points.

Special thanks to MxD, (Manufacturing x Digital), for hosting this event in their Chicago, IL headquarters. A fellow Manufacturing USA Institute to RAPID, MxD is working to transform and secure U.S. manufacturing innovation through digital technologies, cybersecurity, and an empowered workforce.
