ABOUT SMART MANUFACTURING MAGAZINE


Over the last decade, the evolution of the Internet of Things, Big Data and the desire for ever-increasing productivity has driven the smart manufacturing movement.


Today, manufacturers can see and react to the performance of their machines and integrated systems with analytics in real time. They can enable machines to talk to one other, control operations remotely, predict issues and share live data with the supply chain. The users are gaining power because of advancements in cloud computing, as well as mobile and app technology.


SME’s Advanced Manufacturing Media, publisher of Smart Manufacturing and Manufacturing Engineering, has been covering these technologies from the beginning. But the growing need for education, alongside increased offerings and adoption, gives us the opportunity to lead the discussion on the future of making things. Subscribe at www.SME.org/smart
