I am especially excited to share all of the latest insight into Industry 4.0/Smart Factories. In this issue, you can learn more about future proofing following COVID-19 (Page 34), how digitalization is driving the Smart Factories of the future (Page 36), and how iSMART FactoryTM solutions can provide a digitalized Industry 4.0 network (Page 44).
As we continue to navigate a global pandemic and the humanitarian, geopolitical, and economic impacts of Russia’s war on Ukraine, it is important to consider the kind of future we want to have. Whether it’s choosing the right technologies to incorporate into your factory or finding out what you can do to aid those in need, we need to be mindful of the constructive steps we can take towards a brighter future.
