Secure the Future of the Digital Factory

The first step may be securing a spot at the [MC]² Conference, Workshop and Expo, April 19-21, at the Hotel InterContinental Dallas, Texas. March 18 is the deadline for early-bird conference rates. This event focuses intently on MTConnect, the digital factory and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).

Here are five reasons I recommend attending this conference:

1. Small- and medium-sized companies will share their real-world success stories with MTConnect-enabled implementations.
2. It will cover minimizing threats to the security of networks, equipment and information.
3. Training and workforce development will be included as vital to the transition to the IIoT.
4. It will put the importance of the networked, integrated factory in the larger context of national economic growth and stability.
5. Technical workshops will be available to attendees who welcome immersion in the inner workings of the standard and its development process.
