In today’s competitive environment, plant floor asset optimization is mission critical. Creating machines from the ground up that optimize productivity, quality, and safety, while providing insights and information to decision makers when it’s needed is a requirement of best-in-class manufacturers.


Why Smart Machines?

Yesterday’s “smart” machines delivered data. But the smart machines and equipment built today must translate data into insights that drive better decision-making. True smart machines and intelligent equipment use digital technologies to move beyond conventional control, operation and maintenance paradigms. How? Smart devices—smart starts here.
