Industrial Internet of Things Webcast Series 2016, Part Four: Smart manufacturing, IIoT, Industrie 4.0 case studies
Thursday, Dec. 15 at 2016 at 11 a.m. PT/1 p.m. CT/2 p.m. ET
One (1) Certified Professional Development Hour (PDH) available for all attendees.
Organizations for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Industrie 4.0, and smart manufacturing architectures have been working on test beds to help prove benefits. What can you learn? What attributes should you adapt or ignore, and why? What does recent research explain about understanding IIoT-related topics? An RCEP Professional Development Hour (PDH) is available.
Learning objectives:
- Recognize project scope and goals of test beds at Smart Manufacturing Leadership Consortium (SMLC)
- Identify parts of each platform the case study demonstrates
- Quantify benefits produced, or expected, from the case study, based on integrated technologies used
- Adapt best practices based on lessons learned to a future implementation
- Review other industry test beds and research and trends from recently released IIoT and Industrie 4.0 research from Control Engineering and Plant Engineering.
