Smart tech at home gets all the publicity and exposure in the media through blogs and advertising, and therefore smart tech might just be considered as devices at home connected to the internet. However, the really interesting and exciting development happens behind closed doors in offices and factories. How does industrial manufacturing use the internet of things to push engineering boundaries? How are engineers using software to design these advances?
Dickon Ross, editor of The Institution of Engineering and Technology’s Engineering & Technology magazine, will chair this panel discussion asking what are the IoT trends, how do these trends impact software, robotics & machine development, and what’s the relationship between smart home tech and industrial IoT tech.
Learn about the current state of industrial IoT digital design & manufacturing and future trends.
