Peer–to–Peer Network Forums
Advancing Industry 4.0 Solutions
Our Peer-to-Peer Network is an invite-only forum for Indiana manufacturing and logistics companies to share knowledge and best practices about the advanced technology they have utilized or are considering.
Conexus Indiana assembles a vetted peer network (i.e., no sales or business development interests) and hosts a 60-90 minute session. One or more companies present on an Industry 4.0 technology topic, followed by a group discussion, where peers can share their experience and ask questions.
