VANCOUVER, BC–(Marketwired – April 14, 2016) – SYSPRO, a provider of award-winning, best-of-breed Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software solution for on-premise and cloud-based utilization, today announced that it will be conducting a complimentary, live webinar for Canadian manufacturing leaders, “Connecting the Shop Floor to the Top Floor — The Industrial Internet of Things” on Tuesday, April 26, 2016 at 10:00 A.M. PT / 1:00 P.M. ET.

The exclusive webinar, hosted by PLANT Magazine, a leading publication advancing Canadian Manufacturing, will feature leading industry experts David Jirku, IoT Consulting Systems Engineer for Cisco Systems, and Dave Cavan, Regional Sales Manager for SYSPRO Canada, who will explore a new wave of business innovation for the manufacturing sector, known as the Industrial Internet of Things.

The Industrial Internet of Things (Industrial IoT) is the next wave of innovation impacting the way the world connects and optimizes factory machines. It is facilitated by devices, factory equipment and software systems that use Internet connectivity to collect, monitor, exchange, analyze, and implement information to meet business needs through intelligent and automated actions. The Industrial IoT covers all aspects of a manufacturing business, blurring traditional boundaries between plant operations, supply chain, product and demand management.

The Industrial IoT is ushering in a new era of vastly improved productivity in the world of supply chain and production process by allowing manufacturing leaders to capture information from the plant floor and along the entire supply chain in real-time — and turn that data into actionable insights. By leveraging technologies made possible by the Industrial IoT, manufacturers are able to make better-informed business decisions — and create a significant competitive advantage for themselves.

Register today for this informative session, designed specifically for Canadian manufacturers, and discover how business leaders can benefit from the Industrial IoT, including how it can help:

• Drive inefficiencies out of factory and business systems — while increasing the bottom line
• Streamline operations and improve productivity in the plant
• Optimize supply and demand strategies and improve customer service

“The Industrial IoT can vastly improve the productivity of production processes, and provide manufacturers with a distinct competitive advantage. However, many business leaders are reluctant to adopt this new wave of innovation because they are unsure of how and where to get started,” says Dave Cavan, Regional Sales Manager for SYSPRO Canada. “We want to shine a light on the value for Canadian manufacturing leaders to connect their factory devices and business systems, and help them prepare their people and processes for these new technologies.”

The webinar is free to attend but participants must register in advance. To register for this complimentary webinar on Tuesday, April 26,, 2016 at 10:00 A.M. PT / 1:00 P.M.
