Conference in Chicago reinforced the reality of the digital factory. The Dallas event will reinforce its urgency.
The first step may be securing a spot at the [MC]² Conference, Workshop and Expo, April 19-21, at the Hotel InterContinental Dallas, Texas. March 18 is the deadline for early-bird conference rates. This event focuses intently on MTConnect, the digital factory and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
Here are five reasons I recommend attending this conference:
- Small- and medium-sized companies will share their real-world success stories with MTConnect-enabled implementations.
- It will cover minimizing threats to the security of networks, equipment and information.
- Training and workforce development will be included as vital to the transition to the IIoT.
- It will put the importance of the networked, integrated factory in the larger context of national economic growth and stability.
- Technical workshops will be available to attendees who welcome immersion in the inner workings of the standard and its development process.
