Emerson Exchange 365

Virtually every company needs to collect, analyze and use machine data more effectively in order to increase productivity. Especially in these days of more demand and less available personnel. Still, companies struggle to successfully collect data trapped in machines, to analyze the data in a fast, efficient and cost-effective way, and to interpret data so as to increase productivity. In this interesting interview on ControlEngineeringTV, I discuss how edge technology can be used to bridge that productivity gap rapidly, get companies up to speed quickly and cost-effectively, and achieve goals at both the machine and enterprise level.
