Microsoft will showcase how advanced Industry 4.0 solutions can boost factory productivity by connecting devices and using IoT data. Microsoft will demonstrate its Connected Field Service solution that delivers remote data gathering and monitoring capabilities and enhances productivity of industrial technicians. The company will showcase its Predictive Maintenance solution that can proactively predict equipment failures and enables manufacturers to systematically prevent them. Microsoft also will demonstrate its Remote Monitoring solution that enables end-to-end, remote monitoring of equipment or products, continuously monitoring real-time use, performance and asset health. During HANNOVER MESSE 2018, Microsoft will present these solutions in its booth with its partner Hitachi Solutions.
The SAP exhibition in Digital Factory at HANNOVER MESSE USA 2018 will showcase how intelligent technologies, such as digital twins, IoT and machine learning are transforming manufacturing and the digital supply chain. SAP will discuss the latest enhancements to its supply chain, planning and manufacturing solutions and demonstrate its innovations, including digital twins, 3D printing, IoT and robotics in SAPs booth.
