Staying Agile in a World of IoT Devices
OVERVIEW
Today’s professional climate is equipped with global connectivity and big data analytics, making it seem like your business needs to invest in multi-million dollar systems to stay relevant. However, working with a team of knowledgeable and skilled engineers is the first step to futureproofing your organization.
To get the most out of IoT technology, CENG Tech implements Agile Hardware Development, a method for increasing the chances of finding out of the box solutions by using cross functional, fast moving teams. Developers work in short sprints with smaller deliverables and aren’t bogged down with intense planning sessions that can hinder big ideas and necessary pivots.
In our talk, we’ll cover how connected devices can:
- Help with real time data analysis,
- Improve resource and raw material management,
- Avoid costly, operational disruptions, and
- Upgrade and improve existing hardware through retrofitting.
We’ll also cover some of CENG’s proto-types and implementations of Agile Hardware Development that were combined with IoT technology to:
- Increase productivity,
- Shorten lead times, and·
- Increase product quality.
