Webinar recap: The Industrial Internet of Things – ERP best practices

Digital transformation can be daunting for a small or medium-sized manufacturing organization. What is Industry 4.0? What is the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)? Do I need artificial intelligence capabilities? What kind of hardware do I need? And, most importantly, what is this going to cost?

Manufacturing AUTOMATION and Pemeco Consulting seek to answer those questions in a free, quarterly webinar series for 2019 called Integrating the Enterprise: ERP Best Practices.

On March 21, 2019, we presented our first complimentary webinar: “The Industrial Internet of Things: ERP Best Practices,” to help address the importance of approaching digital transformation initiatives across the enterprise with a holistic view. Speaker Jonathan Gross, managing director of Pemeco Consulting, stressed the need to focus on creating a strategy and execution plan that incorporates your company’s organizational structures, business processes, risk management and new technologies.

“What I really want to do is show you how Industry 4.0 can be something that’s approachable,” said Gross. “It’s not this big, esoteric concept that involves long-term thinking about artificial intelligence and connected cyber-physical environments.”
