Data-driven decisions: Phoenix Contact, CESMII, and MACH Controls partner to showcase the IIoT journey at Automate 2025
Visitors to the Phoenix Contact booth (#5232) can learn how to harness data to make better decisions at Automate 2025. Phoenix Contact will also host CESMII, the Smart Manufacturing Institute, and Mach Controls LLC, an Ohio-based system integrator, in its booth for a comprehensive look at a manufacturer’s IIoT journey. The show runs May 12 – 15 in Detroit.
Interactive experiences include a “mixed reality” scavenger hunt and a virtual e-truck. Last year’s popular Phoenix Contact Arcade also returns. Guests can test their skills and luck at Plinko, a claw machine, and a WireRace game – all featuring Phoenix Contact products.
CESMII will demonstrate how seamless data integration drives smarter decision-making with two use cases: 1. Transforming diverse data sources into meaningful contextual insights for informed decision-making; and 2. Rapidly building on existing work to accelerate new solution development.
