Thursday, April 13, 2017, 11 a.m. PT/1 p.m. CT/2 p.m. ET/7 p.m. GMT  
One (1) Certified Professional Development Hour (PDH) available for all attendees.

Automation technologies are converging with information technologies. To handle growing volumes of data generated by IIoT-enabled devices, companies will need powerful data processing capability. Cloud-based environments transform how process-automation projects are engineered and instantiated, replacing client/server. This Webcast focuses on how emergent IIoT technologies change the way process and automation engineers execute projects and sustain productivity in today’s, and tomorrow’s, cyber-physical world. 

Learning Objectives:

  • Gain familiarity with engineering vocabulary related to industrial Cloud and IIoT
  • Discover how IT-based standards are changing the automation world
  • Examine user case examples of IIoT and the Cloud
