Fromthe logging I think that somehow the network stack on the printer got confused and started reporting an invalid IP address. Usually this is fixed by restarting the printer or resetting the local data (in the settings menu).

A gaierror is thrown when a hostname is not valid during a DNS request. Is there anything in your local network that might influence DNS routing? If not, a reboot or factory reset of the printer might solve it.


I see a lot of logs about things timing out, both network requests and processes inside the printer itself. I'll forward these logs to the embedded software team so they can have a look what's going on.


I see many "SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED" errors in your log. Is there anything in your local network that intercepts or prevents SSL handshakes from taking place? You can also read our networking guide on which hosts and ports to allow in your firewall for everything to work correctly.


This usually happens when for some reason the printer cannot perform a DNS request. Often a temporary or local network configuration problem is the root cause. Are you on a network controlled by an IT department that could help you figure out why DNS is not working?


Joao Dias: Thank you, Barr. The issue that most companies face is that, when they start doing digital transformations and digital projects, they realize that they need to break a lot of rules. They need to break the rules on how to allocate people into the initiative, or how to fund the initiative, or even what technologies to use or what project models to use.


Barr Seitz: I want to dig into this point that you both have brought up on the idea of culture and how a digital factory can be an incubator for developing it. Rohit, you talked earlier about this idea of a digital factory being a place where you can infect the larger organization.


Using these kind of rotational ideas, where people are going to come spend four months, six months, a year working on a project in the factory is very important. Exporting the best ideas from the factory to the rest of the organization is very important, recognizing that the factory will be a test bed for some new ideas and maybe new tools and new types of capabilities, and the ones that really work and we think have relevance at scale, exporting those.


But there are others as well. Things like the design thinking that often comes into a digital factory, and having new skills such as understanding customers and what they want and how to design solutions for them.


Joao Dias: I see three common struggles and three common themes that top managers end up having to take on themselves to support the development of a digital factory and then, as you were saying, the spread of it beyond. One is people. Finding the right leaders for the digital factory, not only at the leadership or at the top of the digital-factory level but beyond that.


That typically means finding people from within who are really scarce, who are the ones who will be needed in other parts of the organization, and therefore makes it a very painful trade-off that needs to happen. Oftentimes, it also means going out to the market and finding new blood to come in, which in some organizations can be painful, as well, particularly organizations that are more used to developing from within.


Rohit Bhapkar: There are a couple of different ways I think about it. One is you can maybe start the factory as a virtual factory, if you will, in that you tie together, like how Joao was describing, a few of the different initiatives that are already going on under the same set of rules and culture and operating model.


A digital factory is a production facility in which people, machines, raw materials and products instantly share information about all stages of the production process. Enabled by smart sensors, affordable cloud storage and Big Data analytics, it combines data and intelligence from previously siloed IT and operational systems.


The holistic and real-time data generated by digital factories increases efficiency, productivity, safety and environmental compliance. It also improves control of manufacturing workflows and the movement of everything from raw materials to work-in-progress and finished goods. And it provides near-real-time access to operational data, so managers can quickly overcome roadblocks and inefficiencies.


As many are experiencing, going beyond one or two pilot projects requires a concerted effort to scale a new way of working. One approach that consistently works is to establish what we call a digital factory.


Like its bricks-and-mortar counterpart, a digital factory brings together the skills, processes, and inputs required to produce high-quality outputs. These outputs are generally journeys, a series of interactions to complete a task. They might include a new way to help customers resolve service issues or a new process for applying for a mortgage. The factory models a new way of working to develop new products, which are then introduced and integrated into the broader business. It uses advanced methodologies such as design thinking, zero-based process reengineering, and agile software development.


When executed well, the digital factory provides a blueprint for the future of work that energizes the business and excites employees. It creates a vortex for innovation and creativity that attracts the best talent from inside and outside the organization. And it delivers results. The best digital factories can put a new product or customer experience into production in as little as ten weeks. The innovation can then be introduced and scaled up across the business in eight to 12 months.


Get creative to attract top talent. Digital factories require skills that are in high demand and often in short supply at large established businesses, such as customer-experience design, mobile-app design, agile-development coaching, analytics capabilities, and more. And technical capabilities are not the only requirement; digital factories also need to foster a shift in mind-set toward a more experimental and collaborative way of working.


One leading European bank devoted a full floor of its new office building to its digital factory and invested in creating a collaborative environment. Architects eliminated cabinets between work tables, adding movable panels that act as dividers between different teams and make it easy to introduce and access visual aids such as flowcharts and storyboards. They also created informal areas with couches, ping-pong tables, and eating spaces, all laid out to make it easy for people to relax, catch up with each other, and exchange information. The bank credits this approach with helping to build and reinforce a new culture of continuous active collaboration.


Develop a change-management plan to incorporate the new product into the business. One of the trickiest phases of a transformation is the process of integrating a newly developed product into the business. No matter how good a new solution is, people need to want to use it, as well as know how. In effect, this becomes a change-management challenge.


The best companies are using their management systems to harvest the surfeit of data generated by employees and processes to create user-friendly dashboards and reports to measure progress, often in real time. When it comes to performance-management systems, the goal is not so much to inform appraisals as to provide employees with feedback that guides their actions and leads to better outcomes. Whatever the metrics may be, leaders need to agree on them early so as to manage the development of new journeys and quickly identify areas requiring management decisions.


These dimensions are key to understanding what a digital culture should look like in action, and how to cultivate it so that it takes root in the wider organization beyond the digital factory. How well a business implements these dimensions can make the difference between basic improvements and true reinvention.


Since January 2018, 12 projects, covering all Air France divisions and areas of activity, have been delivered. Serving all Air France's sectors, these innovations have improved the customers' travel experience and the company's operational performance, for example with:



- LEA Loop: when flight irregularities occur, all Air France staff, both on the ground and on board, benefit from real-time information via an internal application to provide customers with the best possible support and improve their travel experience in the event of an irregularity.



- Turn Around 360: To improve the on-time performance of the company's flights, 25 operational staff from 5 different professions (pilots, cabin crew, boarding staff, ramp staff and supervisors) tested an application in real time during a simulation of the conditions of a flight departure.


The Digital Factory is a unique space located at the heart of Air France's Head office, with 14 modular structures on two levels; a ground floor dedicated to staff and digital acculturation, as well as a second level dedicated to incubating and accelerating digital projects.



This ephemeral space was entirely designed by the users. A place for the company's digital acculturation, but also a place for sharing and learning, the Digital Factory is open to all the company's staff.


The truth is that the digital factory vision is now the foundation for the future of manufacturing. By transforming your plant, making your processes more connected, and reducing downtime in all its forms, this solution can unlock your path to future success.
