technology is elegantly composed to transform the
Industrial sector. Companies are now relying on

and more strategic ways. These systems are further
enhanced with the growing adoption of IoT to access
additional contextual information throughout the
product lifecycle, from product development and
engineering to manufacturing operations or the
field performance of products.
