[On-demand Webinar] Transforming Industrial Footprint and Supply Chain Network

The past five to ten years brought dramatic advances in sophisticated global supply networks. The latest generation of end-to-end supply chains were designed for “pull” rather than “push,” enabling the high efficiencies.  Entire value streams now operate with advanced software and are governed by “control towers,” which continuously optimize the supply-production-distribution flow. The result: significant […]

Focus! …and Take IIoT Action

Your focus may be within your four walls – but the real value is shifting the Industrial IoT attention to your supply chain. While the latest edge computing consolidates, contextualizes and filters end-point sensor data near the point of creation, it also provides a pathway for this data to be packaged and delivered. Where it’s […]

How will smart manufacturing transform the supply chain?

For manufacturers, managing the supply chain from beginning to end has been like traveling two superhighways interrupted by a long stretch of dirt road. Manufacturers have benefited from increasingly powerful tools for demand planning and logistics management – the first and last parts of their supply chains – but tracking the performance of manufacturing production […]
