Event overview
As manufacturers embrace digital transformation, leveraging their core strengths built over the years is vital for success. From assembly lines to industrial robots, speed and efficiency has always been a focus to lower costs and achieve faster time to market. However, with the current challenges and necessities of Industry 4.0, it is important to adopt new approaches by automation and optimization.
APIs are helping address this need by providing rapid access to data in ERP and legacy systems, helping transform to smart digital factories, offering seamless omni-channel B2B engagement, and reducing supply chain risks through real-time visibility. Hence to create a manufacturing setup of the future, it is imperative to become a Live Enterprise — that continuously evolves, learns, and innovates at scale.
