IIC 2018 Conference: The Role of Intelligent Connected Devices in Reducing Downtime and Improving Efficiency Throughout a Machine’s Life Cycle

Learn where and how to apply intelligent, connected devices throughout the life cycle of a machine


Plan to attend The IIC 2018 Conferences to gain deeper insights into new manufacturing technologies and ideas!

About the topic 

The Internet of Things (IoT) can impact every stage of a machine’s life. Using real world examples, this session will explore where and how to apply intelligent, connected devices throughout the life cycle of a machine.

Areas to be covered include:

  • Understanding which components are critical
  • Improving machine design with smart sensors
  • Maximizing component life by optimizing pneumatic circuits
  • Reducing downtime with condition monitoring
  • Repairing equipment faster using remote diagnostic tools

Discussions will also highlight how Industry 4.0 technologies benefit companies that would lose product batches and significant money if their processes went down; original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) looking for a competitive edge; and industries including packaging, automotive, factory automation, material handling, semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and medical.

Registration is now open, so check out the IMTS 2018 website for more information.
