Modern Staff sat down with John A. White III, President and CEO of Fortna to discuss the Internet of Things and it's ability to help track and trace operations.

Lucas Systems (Booth S4263) is set to highlight machine learning technology at a Wednesday seminar at 1:30pm to 2:15pm at the Emerging Technologies & Sustainability Theater on the ProMat show floor.

Internet of Things is happening everywhere, from home thermostats to cars, to machinery in factories. Now IoT is taking hold in warehouses, though more slowly. But with more warehouse-focused vendors offering pretested sensors, prebuilt analytics and alerting around IoT-connected equipment, IoT should become more widespread in DCs.

I.D. Systems and Pointer Telocation have entered into a definitive agreement whereby I.D. Systems will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Pointer in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $140 million.

Acquisition to expand solutions for healthcare industry as well as food safety and other applications that can benefit from increased asset visibility.

Both partners will jointly develop and market RFID-based sensor technology for major industrial segments such as smart packaging, logistics, healthcare, aviation, automotive, supply chain management, and many others.

Frost & Sullivan market analysis suggests passive RFID still has a competitive edge over active RFID, but technological advancements are helping to close the gap.

Global leaders combine software and hardware to co-develop solutions for digital supply chain operations in factories, warehouses and retail.

Study explores the potential for IoT to stream data through the business logic, use AI to constantly learn, and then apply that learning by creating new business logic.

Software and services clearly lead in revenue, but higher growth rate for connectivity and devices like 5G services and the rise of edge computing will drive revenue growth at a CAGR of 20%.

Intelligent IoT devices are enabling unprecedented supply chain visibility and innovation.

The show is hosted by David Vasko, director of Advanced Technology, Rockwell Automation, who is responsible for the company’s technology roadmap and leads their global research and development.

As they embrace the fourth industrial revolution, organizations and their supply chains face plenty of challenges and opportunities.

Supply chain leaders target inventory, accuracy, and visibility with analytics, but must first escape from limited legacy systems.

Rapid convergence of enterprise information technology and operational technology networks contribute.

Market grows 19% in first quarter of 2018.

Read this report from the Economist Intelligence Unit and see why more than any other industry, the retail and consumer goods sector sees IoT as being central to its digital transformation strategies.

Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity is still early days in warehouses, though several suppliers are coming up with predictive modeling and analytics to optimize DC operations based on granular data from IoT or other data feeds.

Roundtable of industry leaders produces practical – and sometimes counterintuitive – steps to successful supply chain innovation.
