Summary

While the focus historically has been on the “what” of Industry 4.0, Automation Alley member Baker Tilly is proactively helping manufacturers determine the “where” of their Industry 4.0 journey.

In case you missed it, check out Baker Tilly’s presentation from our 2022 Integr8 conference where they discussed how manufacturers can use analytics to guide their large capital-spend projects to ensure facilities are established in the most optimal location for labor availability, utility costs, tax incentives and more.
