From industry to industry the industrial internet of things is creating tremendous value. This webinar, based on insights from The State of the Industrial IoT, will provide a data driven view into how manufacturers are using IoT to create business value today. This research provides an in-depth analysis of the industries that are leading IoT deployments, how business functions are using IoT, and the types of business value generated. This webinar also explores the degrees of success companies are experiencing in implementation, and where they are in transitioning pilots to production deployments.

Sponsor:

PTC (NASDAQ: PTC) is a global provider of technology platforms and solutions that transform how companies create, operate, and service the “things” in the Internet of Things (IoT). The company’s next-generation ThingWorx® technology platform gives developers the tools they need to capture, analyze, and capitalize on the vast amounts of data being generated by smart, connected products and systems. PTC’s award-winning CEO, considered an industry thought leader, co-authored the definitive guides to the impact of the IoT on business in the Harvard Business Review.

As noted in Garry Kasparov’s most recent book, a good team + a good computer will consistently beat having only a great computer or a grandmaster. The same is true for manufacturers looking to compete in the new world of Industry 4.0, and the wave of technologies being introduced as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).

The winning companies will not simply be those who purchase the best or the most technology, but those who can iteratively integrate it into their current systems in a way that incrementally improves cash flow, reduces cycle time, and minimizes downside risk through many, small steps and continuous learning in between. The companies with the best problem solvers will win. In this view, new technologies will enable our employees to solve new classes of problems more quickly, with deeper visibility into the entire supply chain. Join Dr. John F. Carrier from MIT on March 13th to learn a systems thinking approach to the IIoT.

• Review the 5 key technologies of the IIoT
• Discuss the concept of the “hidden factory,” and how the IIoT will help companies better address this classic, systemic problem inherent in all systems
• Show how the IIoT can be used to re-invigorate your Lean and Six Sigma efforts to produce a new level of synchronization and performance
• Provide examples of companies “winning” the problem-solving game in the age of IIoT, and how they are building dynamic competitive advantage within their supply chains
