Working to Create Connectivity Among All Smart Devices
For the supply chain industry to harness the full power of Industry 4.0, stakeholders must come together to increase the connectivity of material handling equipment and the uniformity of the data it produces. Only then can end users realize the full potential of artificial intelligence, advanced robotics and other technological breakthroughs that promise to streamline operations and make supply chains more efficient.
That’s a message from the Electrification and Controls Manufacturers Association (ECMA), the only industry group that works with the American National Standards Institute to create industry standards for electrification and controls equipment.
The ECMA, an MHI industry group, includes original equipment manufacturers, technology integrators and end users working to be recognized as the guiding authority on electrification and electrical control systems for the material handling industry. Its work includes developing educational materials, collecting and distributing industry statistics and reviewing and revising equipment standards.
