Rockwell Automation has announced a series of free events aimed at engineers and managers around the country. Throughout April the company will unlock the potential of The Connected Enterprise.
Delegates are being invited to Harrogate, Manchester, Winchester, Coventry and Cardiff to find out how the Internet of Things (IoT) is being implemented through Connected Enterprise technology to deliver against key industry challenges.
