Do you ever wish you had a manufacturing guide to help you make decisions and tell you what to do next? Well, if you’re struggling to make sense of all the data you’re collecting, you’re not alone.
In the 2025 edition of Rockwell Automation’s State of Smart Manufacturing Report, manufacturers said only 44% of the data they collect is being used effectively.
This episode with Van Meter’s Josh Reitz, business consultant, and Karl Schmidt, solutions architect, will explore how you can digitize manufacturing data and use it to make smarter decisions about your business.
