THE INTERNET OF THINGS ( IOT )
Machines and devices are expected to be completely integrated within the next few years . This will enable a seamless two-way data flow , resulting in enhanced communication and production efficiency . Automatic endto-end product traceability and detailed insight driven by up to the second information , will allow for better , timelier customer service and improved quality . This means that manufacturers will not only have access to the data they need to fix problems as they happen , but also prevent future problems .
MOBILE
Mobile allows for anytime , anywhere access to your ERP systems . This presents an opportunity for manufacturers to streamline processes in real time , eliminating gaps as they occur , saving time and money . Because mobile technologies allow employees to stay connected , even when they are not at work , they have been proven to improve customer service and response times , as well as increase productivity and efficiency . These benefits hold true for ERP systems and as mobile platforms continue to evolve with smartwatches and other wearables , there will be an increased need to adopt ERP systems optimised for mobile .
