Turbo Charge Industry 4.0 Via API Integration

In spite of the vast number of technologies involved, an Industry 4.0 transformation is about a single, fundamental strategy: connecting manufacturing business processes via application integration. Featuring details about use cases, as identified by recent research conducted by Informa/IndustryWeek, this webinar brings into focus how the various technologies — such as Data Analytics, Industrial IoT, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Advance Robotics, AR/VR, Cybersecurity, Additive Manufacturing, and Simulation—in various combinations facilitate connectivity between vital business processes to drive competitive advantage.

By understanding Industry 4.0 through this lens, business leaders will more easily identify where and how to leverage these technologies to improve every aspect of their business from sales and marketing, to product development and production, to delivery and field service.
