MESA Smart Manufacturing Community: Smart Connected Factory
Wednesday, October 1, 2025 (11:00 AM - 12:00 PM) (EDT)
Description
Come share your experiences, stories, questions, and what you have learned in a safe, non-commercial environment. We seek to understand the state-of-the market, understand what companies have done that has or has not worked, documenting questions that MESA and the community can help answer. Overall, the goal is to accelerate each participant’s learning and progress toward Smart Manufacturing.
