Customers have a greater impact on how companies plan production, as their demands can be heard loud and clear \u2014 a result of cloud, mobile and social technologies. Customers are no longer in a position where they have no choice; rather, they\u2019re in a position to inform themselves about the various options available and can exercise choice and discretion before making a purchasing decision. This is the overarching environment that has produced the on-demand economy.<\/p>\n<p>A key enabler to the on-demand economy is the fourth industrial revolution also known as Industry 4.0. For some, working toward digitization, automation, and a seamless supply chain can be daunting \u2013 but it doesn\u2019t have to be. Understanding what these advancements mean for your business and having the right technology partner to help you meet the demand of Industry 4.0 is within your reach. Manufacturing can be more customized, more flexible, faster and more reliable.<\/p>\n<p>AWFS and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cmtc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California Manufacturing Technology Consulting\u00ae (CMTC)<\/a> presented this webinar on Tuesday, November 6, 2018 to share how cutting- edge technologies like IoT, Machine Learning, and shop floor machine integration will help you gain efficiencies that enable the operationalization of business strategy and culture change.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the presenter:\u00a0<\/strong>Shekhar Chandrashekhar PhD, PMP is a forward-thinking leader, strategist, and innovator with a history of driving process, system, and product improvements that streamline operations and increase profitability on a global scale.
