Learn how to enable your factory for flexible manufacturing and efficient production


Plan to attend The IIC 2018 Conferences to gain deeper insights into new manufacturing technologies and ideas!

About the topic 

Even with all the talk, Internet of Things (IoT), Connected Enterprise, Smart Industry implementation in manufacturing has been slow to evolve. Why do we need IoT in the factory? What will investing in Industry 4.0 do for manufacturers? How can we possibly pay for the huge investment required for plant-wide Industrial IoT (IIoT) implementations? Where do I even start? This presentation will break down the basics of smart manufacturing, present real-world examples of IIoT in industrial equipment, and discuss simple decisions you can make today to start enabling your factory for flexible manufacturing and efficient production.

Registration is now open, so check out the IMTS 2018 website for more information.
