Last Week’s Episodes

• We ganged up on Andy Stump from Rockwell Automation to discuss the newly released (dropped March 26th) 9th Annual State of Smart Manufacturing Report available for download at www.plex.com/resources. We answered questions about ERPs, MESs, & all the acronyms — and how they connect to realize the promise of a "smart" factory! Check out the replays on LinkedIn or YouTube!

• We also talked to Sarah Sonnier & Jessica Williams from BBP! We dove deep into the importance of IIoT & Industry 4.0, as well as the use of LoRaWAN in accessing stranded assets & collecting valuable data. We explored the potential of data in industrial applications, including using digital twins, historians, machine learning, & AI. We highlighted various applications of wireless data collection, such as liquid level & asset tracking, & the importance of simplifying sensor integration with platforms like Ignition. Good stuff!
