As we have moved to virtual vendor briefings, I have increasingly been excerpting short segments (with permission from vendors), as part of my Analyst Cam series.
This time it is Marty Groover, Partner, C5MI. C5 in the company name comes from his background in the Navy for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Counter-intelligence. He also spent years at Caterpillar and is now a big advocate for Industry 4.0 - digital factories and the industrial Internet of Things.
With ubiquitous sensors, machines are talking a lot more, and we are learning to understand their language. Marty talks about their Live Factory concept with uses cases like WIP and critical parts tracking, and others involving predictive maintenance around industrial assets.
He covers a lot of ground in under 15 minutes. You may also enjoy the longer interview I did with him in May here.
