Variable, Inc., known for manufacturing the NODE+ wireless sensor platform for smart devices, will be hosting the event Envisioning The Future of Manufacturing for East Tennessee at the Hamilton County Business Development Center Thursday, Nov. 20, from 6-6:30 p.m. A social mixer with refreshments will follow.
An opening presentation on national public policy issues for the manufacturing sector from the Washington, D.C. based nonprofit organization Alliance For American Manufacturing will be followed by a short demonstration from Verizon Wireless as well as GTI Spindle Technology, a global leader in mobile solutions for vibration analysis. Afterwards, Variable executives will share best practices on how iOS and Android smart devices are currently syncing with wireless sensors on production floors around the world in innovative ways, said officials.
"When we first launched NODE+, it started conversations with manufacturing companies with workforces already using smart devices to improve productivity," said George Yu, Ph.D, chief executive officer and founder, Variable, Inc. "This industry feedback had led to customized NODE+ sensor technology for streamlining quality control, color referencing, and vibration analysis by syncing wireless sensors with smart devices.”
The event is free and open to the public. RSVPs are encouraged online at http://nodesensors.eventbrite.com.
