Episode 20: Supply Chain Challenges - Go Beyond Locating with Real-time Data

Digitalization Tech Talks

Supply chain challenges have become a global issue and many companies now consider supply chain issues to be their top short- and long-term concern. This is an area where digitalization can be applied to assist in mitigating some of the risks and concerns. This episode of Digitalization Tech Talks focuses on the application of industrial identification and locating technologies as a method of keeping better track of raw material and asset inventories, locations, and usage in the plant as well as gaining better transparency over the manufacturing process while eliminating the reliance on paper records.
