One of the many challenges for manufacturing companies is keeping up with – and leveraging – new technology. On the shop floor, IT departments, process engineers, and other team leaders struggle to keep together the different systems, equipment, and processes involved in manufacturing.
Aware of this challenge, Azumuta keeps developing solutions for frictionless integration and connectivity. That’s why Peripherals is the latest feature within Azumuta’s menu.
Through Peripherals, Azumuta allows users to connect manufacturing tools and equipment regularly used on the shop floor.
