Machine Shops and Fabricators: Understanding the Benefits of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT)

The focus of this webcast will help you gain an understanding of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies, and how they can enable machine shops and fabricators to operate more efficiently. IIoT provides machine shops and fabricators with new visibility that supports the ability to: 
• Sense and Act through sensors and actuators 
• Analyze and Visualize using Big Data and Analytics 
• Communicate through a wide variety of networks 

Adoption is no longer an option. Machine shops and fabricators are two spaces in which IIoT has massive potential. Consider how many disparate machines—from material handling to finishing—could produce information through Wi-Fi-equipped sensors, streaming real-time data to a company’s central dashboard where a supervisor can optimize processes. The data could be shared with suppliers, distributors, and customers for their benefit. It’s the connectivity on a macro scale and the implications of data access that will allow you to transform your business.

In addition to helping you gain an understanding of how the IIoT will affect and benefit you, this webcast will help you learn how IIoT can improve your operational efficiency through: 
• Increased asset utilization 
• Operational cost reduction 
• Improved worker productivity 

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) promises to connect machines and raise the speed of business and industry exponentially and is commonly referred to as the 4th industrial revolution
