Internet of Things: Eliminating the Hype And Making It Useful (WEBINAR)

WEBINAR

Did you know?

• Don’t start with the technical stuff. Start by asking: What data am I trying to collect, and why?
• Internet of Things doesn’t necessarily involve the internet!
• You may be doing parts of it already!

Overview

Internet Of Things (IoT), also known as Industrial Internet Of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0, is a terrific set of technologies that helps manufacturers gather, interpret, and take action on data which has been automatically collected. It has also become a confusing, over-hyped, techno-babble that leaves many manufacturers paralyzed. In this seminar you’ll learn how it works, what it’s used for, and how to get started.

This online learning session will be nuts and bolts, jargon-free, and will offer clear, simple paths on using only the parts that make sense for your business.

What to expect

• An understandable description of what IoT is.
• The basics of how IoT works.
• Examples of how many manufacturers (maybe you?) are doing it already and don’t know it.
• A simple path to get started.

Who Should Attend

Anyone involved in managing manufacturing firms, including presidents, those in charge of operations, process and quality engineers, and information systems personnel.
