Is Clip A ‘Slack’ For Factories?
The magic of the digital industrial revolution lies in gifting the spark of intelligence to every piece of industrial equipment. But the true full value of the digital-industrial revolution can only be unlocked by turning every intelligent machine into a fully integrated member of the team.
Every corporate leader knows that the rapid and efficient flow of information plays an essential role in making a team effective: it allows all team members to have a complete view of the process, to learn from new incoming information and to react in a coordinated way to unexpected developments. Over time, technology has developed new ways for human colleagues to collaborate more effectively, exchanging documents, videos and ideas – Slack is perhaps the most well-known example.
