Send me a message

In this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I chat with Mike Bowers, Chief Architect at Faircom, about the pivotal role of IoT platforms in enhancing sustainability and efficiency within the manufacturing sector. With decades of experience in software development and a focus on manufacturing, Mike sheds light on how Faircom's Faircom Edge, is addressing the challenges of data collection and integration in factories.

Our discussion centres on the critical need for efficient, cost-effective data gathering to reduce waste, improve equipment productivity, and promote a more sustainable manufacturing environment. Mike provides insightful examples, from the use of vibration sensors for predicting equipment failure to leveraging machine learning for improved operational efficiency, highlighting the benefits of embracing IoT technology.

Mike also stresses the importance of staying current with technological advancements to maintain a competitive edge in the manufacturing industry. He encourages manufacturers to consider IoT platforms as essential tools for achieving greater sustainability and efficiency in their operations.
