SUMMARY:Claims Management & Email Hygiene: Protecting Your Integration Projects (and Your ‎Inbox)‎
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever fired off a project email about a scope change or site-access issue and immediately wondered if it could come back to haunt you in a dispute? Are you confident that your team’s day-to-day communications — from commissioning updates to change-order requests — would hold up under legal scrutiny? \nThen this practical session covering the fundamentals of dispute resolution\, effective claims management\, and — perhaps most importantly — email hygiene is for you. \nYou’ll learn how to recognize the difference between emails that protect your interests and ones that create liability\, with real-world examples of what to do (and what not to do) when documenting delays\, scope disputes\, client environment issues\, and third-party vendor conflicts on integration projects. \nWhether you’re a project manager\, controls engineer\, department lead\, or simply curious about how everyday communication habits can make or break a claim\, this event is for you. All experience levels are welcome. \nBe sure to bring your questions — there will be plenty of time for Q&A. \nNote: Faegre Drinker is the provider of the CSIA Legal Plan and is proud to have served as legal counsel to the CSIA and many of its members and industry partners for more than two decades. \n  \nPresented by:

SUMMARY:Economic and Policy Update – What to Expect in 2027 and Beyond (Members Only)
DESCRIPTION:The macro environment around us is constantly changing\, often with significant ramifications. \nAs we navigate a year of greatly increased complexity\, there are shifting global alliances and multiple conflict hot spots around the world\, some of which have turned into full-out war. There are also new tariffs\, supply chain disruptions\, surging inflationary pressures and many other disruptive forces at work. \nAll of this impacts your business – sometimes directly and sometimes indirectly. There are financial\, operational\, strategic\, and social implications that business leaders and decision makers in your industry must be aware of to successfully navigate the evolving landscape. \nIn this session\, you’ll hear from Alex Chausovsky\, the President of 3DM Consulting\, who will deliver an insightful analysis of how these events will impact the economy and how they could affect the outlook for your industry and your business. \nHe’ll explain the potential impact on supply chains\, input prices\, profitability\, policy dynamics and other critical business topics. \nMost importantly\, he’ll share what key leading indicators are telling us about the direction of the economy and offer practical and actionable advice for business leaders based on today’s geopolitical and macroeconomic forces\, helping audience members plan for future operating conditions. \nAttendees will walk away from the session with the following insights: \n\nAn objective assessment of time-sensitive geopolitical and economic indicators such as business investment\, inflation\, interest rates\, and tariffs\nConcrete advice on how to navigate the current macroeconomic climate and plan for the future\, with a particular focus on tactical advice\nRisk management and flexible scenario planning strategies to help you make informed decisions in an uncertain world.\nTools that leaders can leverage to be data-driven decision makers for their organizations\n\nNote: This virtual keynote is exclusively for CSIA members\, however\, anyone in the company can attend. \n  \n  \n  \nSponsored by \n \nand

SUMMARY:How AI Can Speed Up Your Quoting Process — From P&ID & Specs to Draft Quote Sheets
DESCRIPTION:Live demo: Watch AI mark up a real bid package in real time. \nSales application engineers at systems integration and controls firms respond to RFQs constantly. Right now\, manually reviewing plans and specs takes 3 to 4 hours per bid\, before any actual estimating starts. Cut that to 30 minutes\, and three things change. \nMore bids: The same team can work through more of the bids sitting in the queue instead of triaging which ones get attention. More bids submitted means more chances to win\, and more revenue. \nFewer missed details: A manual review under time pressure is where requirements get skipped. A missed requirement means the proposal doesn’t match what the plans and specs called for\, and a proposal that doesn’t match loses to the one that does. \nMore time for selling: The hours that used to go into copying details out of plans and specs go back into the parts of the job that actually need a sales application engineer: talking to the customer and shaping the proposal. \nHow: We’ll do this live\, on a real bid package\, not a slide. AI reads the full plans and specs\, even past 1\,000 pages\, and returns a marked-up bid with the relevant requirements flagged in 15 minutes\, while you watch. Your team reviews the markup instead of the raw documents. Start to finish\, AI and review together\, the whole process takes about 30 minutes. \nAttend this session and in [45] minutes you’ll learn how to: \n\nWatch AI turn a real 1\,000+ page bid package into a marked-up bid live\, in 15 minutes\nTake on more RFQs with the same team\, without adding headcount\nCatch missed requirements before the proposal goes out\, not after\nSee where the freed-up time actually goes for teams who’ve made this switch\n\nIf you’re a sales application engineer\, account owner\, or anyone on a systems integration or controls team who reviews plans and specs to build a quote\, this session is for you. \nThere will be time for questions\, so bring them. \nKnow someone on your team\, or at another integration firm\, who deals with this every week? Invite them. This session is open to everyone. \n  \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:Preparing Your Customers for AI Production Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Problem: Most end users in manufacturing have data\, but is their data AI-ready? Without clean\, connected\, and well-contextualized production data\, AI initiatives stall before they deliver value. \nSolution: A practical guide for integrators to understand what AI readiness means\, how to assess it\, and how to help customers prepare to maximize their opportunities. \nIn this session\, you’ll: \n\nGain an understanding of what AI readiness means for production data\, and why having data is not the same as having AI-ready data.\nLearn how to assess your customer’s AI readiness and identify the gaps that stand between their data and real results.\nUnderstand the steps to help your customers prepare\, so they can maximize their opportunities with AI Production Intelligence.\n\nIntended Audience: Control system integrators who serve manufacturing customers\, particularly those involved in automation\, production data\, OEE\, MES\, digital transformation\, analytics\, and AI initiatives. Relevant roles include integrator leadership\, sales/business development\, solution architects\, and controls/automation engineers. \nIf you want to be your customers’ trusted advisor for AI initiatives\, this session is for you. \nThere will be ample time for Q&A\, so bring your questions! \nKnow someone who would be interested in attending this session? Invite them! This session is open to all. \nSponsored by

SUMMARY:Unleash your PLC by Connecting to Enterprise Databases
DESCRIPTION:Learn how you can get the full potential out of your PLC by combining it with database systems. \nYou will see how to store real-time production data into a large database that can be queried later\, and you will see how to store recipes in your database and pull them into your PLC. \nPlus\, you’ll see how to configure these data transactions using different types of ‘triggers’ in your PLC program. \nYou will also learn how to keep your data secure and how to feed cloud-based database applications for ERP systems via MQTT subscriptions. \nIf you are an integration engineer\, PCL programmer\, maintenance lead\, product engineer or just a life-long learner\, then this presentation is for you. \nThere will be ample time for Q&A\, so bring your questions! Know someone who would be interested in attending this session? Invite them! This session is open to all. \n  \nSponsored by:
