Machine Connectivity Best Practices and Your IIoT Roadmap

Summary

In today’s ever-changing manufacturing environment, data-driven decision making has become the norm. As operations progress and mature from adopting utilization monitoring to advanced processes such as adaptive manufacturing, reliance on a robust connectivity architecture becomes more critical than ever before.

When manufacturers have not implemented a sustainable and flexible solution that can evolve with them over time, these complex processes can present more pitfalls to face in the future. By proactively evaluating your data collection solutions, manufacturers can determine if their current or prospective connectivity solution is set up to meet and sustain their needs long-term.

Join TechSolve’s IIoT Director, Rob Longfellow, as he addresses advanced manufacturing trends and exposes future actions to take to retain leadership in today's fast-changing manufacturing landscape. Learn how emerging smart manufacturing trends have impacted connectivity and data collection best practices and identify the next step in your IIoT roadmap.

In this webinar, you will learn how to:

• Evaluate and implement a sustainable OT connectivity solution that supports your continuous improvement journey
• Assess the future risks of an underperforming or limited connectivity architecture
• Shift your data collection and machine connectivity practices to support emerging smart manufacturing trends
• Grow from utilization data monitoring to advanced manufacturing processes such as predictive maintenance, machine learning, and adaptive manufacturing
