Standardization between new and old technology is easier than ever thanks to cloud solutions.

Bob Argyle of L2L talks about the challenge of moving to new technology.

"Moving to new technology is no small decision. As plant managers know all too well, replacing systems is difficult, costly, time-consuming, disruptive, and risky – not to mention stressful. It doesn’t always start off this way, but once the transition process is underway, manufacturers feel the burden of disruption and downtime from installation and training and the grim reality of the learning curve. Plus, too many new systems never meet their intended objectives."
