Berkeley, CA – VIMANA announced that company founder and Chief Strategy Officer, Will Sobel will be speaking at the Internet of Things for Manufacturing Workshop at Georgia Tech Manufacturing Institute on November 11th in Atlanta, GA.
Will Sobel will be giving a talk titled MTConnect and the IIOTfdm: Industrial Internet of Things for discrete manufacturing. Will Sobel will discuss the changing landscape of the shop floor as architectures that support industrial analytics gain prominence, and how MTConnect plays a key role in the evolving ecosystem of advanced manufacturing analytics. While at first glance, the industrial internet is rife with standards, these standards play different roles in the acquisition, integration, and dissemination of data from manufacturing equipment to applications that turn that data into knowledge. Along this path, the data needs to acquire meaning and context, that is where standards like MTConnect come in.
The Georgia Tech Manufacturing Institute brings together top researchers and thought leaders from the many varied disciplines that shape manufacturing — science, engineering, policy, robotics, and management — to help define and solve some of the greatest challenges facing U.S. industry today. Attendees of the workshop will learn about current issues in the Internet of Things for Manufacturing from the leaders in corporate America, government and academia.
