Registration is required here (free)

Clashes between production needs and IT requirements are a routine source of friction for manufacturing companies. Emergent best practices for data definitions, extraction, transport, and storage aren’t just tech-speak, they are real policies, practices, and decisions that form the backbone of an operation and can make life much easier for all departments and management alike. Learn about how to set goals for scalable and sustainable system architecture, get acquainted with common protocols and standards, and hear examples of how to set yourself up for success on both one-time smart factory projects and long-term initiatives.

This webinar is for anyone responsible for smart manufacturing, IIoT, digital twin, and related factory or industrial initiatives. It will address practical and functional considerations as well as specific implementation strategies to avoid common pitfalls.
