Paul Lagroix and Brent Severn at LIVEWORX2019
After the first two full days, Monday June 10th and and Tuesday June 11th, we concentrated more of our time on networking, meeting with existing customers and contacts and and exploring the demonstrations on PTC’s platform.
We were primarily looking for ideas and applications applicable to Sandalwood’s mission. We continually strive to add value to our our customers in the new #industry40 world of smart plants, smart factories and product planning. We do this using a variety of virtual reality training instructions and advanced production analytics and metrics to improve processes, reduce waste and achieve higher efficiency and quality.
