How Manufacturers Can Use IoT Data to Drive Bottom-Line Results w/ Caroline Hilla from Cisco

November 20, 2019 • Mountain Point • Season 1 • Episode 12

In this episode, we talk with Caroline Hilla from Cisco's Global Manufacturing team. Caroline offers practical and foundational tips for capturing, integrating — and effectively using — IoT data.

"There's a perception right now that if it's not broke, don't fix it. And while that may have worked for 15, 20 years now, what we're really seeing is that you're not really able to tap into the full potential of the data that you can be collecting from your different devices and machines using the internet of things until you've really been able to use it and actually unite those data islands... And when it comes to business productivity, I mean, this is huge. This is what allows you to operate as efficiently as possible. This is what allows you to reduce downtime. And ultimately, this allows you to get your products out the door faster and tap into new markets that your competitors have not been able to reach yet." - Caroline Hilla, Cisco
