Introduction to Manufacturing IoT and it's practical applications

Are you constantly hearing about Smart Manufacturing and how the Internet of Things can aid manufacturing businesses to increase their effectiveness, whilst this introductory workshop should help your business to gather data to address issues like predictive maintenance and energy monitoring

The Internet of Things devices used in manufacturing include smart sensors, edge devices, industrial robots, and RFID tags. These devices are used to monitor and collect data from production lines, detect potential problems in the supply chain, and coordinate automation processes across plants

This workshop will provide you with an introduction to the practical applications, potential benefits, and costs (and grant funding) in using such technology within your business

HEY Made Smarter has teamed up with DataFlowIQ to provide the following workshop opportunity. This fully funded workshop seeks to attract representatives from Hull & East Yorkshire business community to explore MIoT tools– its application and cost / funding.

HEY Made Smarter: Introduction to Manufacturing IoT and it's practical application for the Manufacturing Sector will be held on Thursday 20th November at Aura Innovation Centre starting at 9am

The target audience will be owners and senior project staff with manufacturing businesses (only) to explore:
