2016 - Users Conference - Berlin - New PI User
Getting Started with Industry 4.0 and the PI System
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) or Industry 4.0 is changing the way we think about the value and potential of data; it holds the promise to make our world a better place by improving the performance, efficiency, reliability, and safety of everything from our industrial assets to the cities we live in. But how do I get started? This session will provide suggestions on where to find IIoT opportunities in your organization and examples on how to design, build, and deploy an IIoT project with the PI System, from the sensors that provide the data to the analytics applications that provide new insights into this data. Join us in this session to learn more about using new PI Connectors and PI Integrators technologies and how these products used with the PI System help realize the potential of IIoT.
