Event Details

According to IndustryWeek magazine, handling data is one of the top 5 challenges that deter companies from fully adopting the idea of a smart factory.  While you know that applying technology can help you predict downtime and avoid potential machine malfunctions, it is difficult to understand how to start implementing this process and how to use the data that is generated. David laid the groundwork for this process in Get Smart: Making Machines Work for You, now he’s joined by Jeff Waters and Dave Jennings to talk about the power of data.

Join David Rauch and crew as they lead us on this second webinar in our OEM-focused Smart Manufacturing series that will get you on the right track to reaching data-driven solutions from your smart machines.
