Building the IIoT Nervous System – With Everything Connected

Smart manufacturing is connected manufacturing. During the session, Challenges & Best Practices in Deploying IIoT, at the Advanced Design and Manufacturing Expo in Cleveland earlier this month, David Iyoha, director of software solutions at Fortech, spelled out the considerations that must be in place to make sure the manufacturing enterprise is connected effectively. "Smart manufacturing is data driven. It's flexible with centralized data. The IIoT is the heartbeat of smart manufacturing, the glue," said Iyoha.
