ThoughtWire and Schneider Electric announce strategic partnership and new joint offering for healthcare facilities


https://www.prweb.com/

ThoughtWire partners with Schneider Electric

“ThoughtWire’s market proven capabilities have helped hospitals achieve better efficiency, higher patient satisfaction, and cost reduction,” said Mike Sullivan, Building Segments President, Schneider Electric.

Schneider Electric, the leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, and ThoughtWire, a leading provider of Digital Twins for the built environment, today announced a strategic partnership to create smarter digital hospitals that operate seamlessly. The partnership means healthcare customers can take advantage of the connected hospital and achieve their digital strategy objectives faster by leveraging ThoughtWire and Schneider Electric’s suite of solutions.

This new partnership addresses some of the biggest roadblocks to becoming a truly patient-centric digital hospital. Today, healthcare facilities are operated in silos with fragmented information available from a variety of different systems. There is very little connectivity between facilities management and clinical operations, yet patients and clinicians increasingly require a more seamless experience in the hospital environment.

“We’ve been working with our customers in healthcare for the past 10 years to orchestrate data from across critical clinical systems, OT systems, IoT devices, to build a real-time Digital Twin that makes it easier for clinicians to have full visibility into patient needs and the entire hospital workflow,” said Mike Monteith, CEO, ThoughtWire. “More recently, we’ve seen a need to connect aspects of building infrastructure like energy and environmental data to provide these insights about the care environment back to facilities teams.”

Partnering with ThoughtWire allows Schneider Electric healthcare facilities customers to benefit from the connected hospital environment, where facilities management and clinical workflow operations are orchestrated seamlessly and each group has the visibility they need to deliver the best outcomes for patients and staff. ThoughtWire’s Digital Twin enables Schneider Electric to improve patient outcomes with a data model of a hospital’s building systems, clinical and IT systems, IoT devices, workflows and people.

“We’re excited to be working with Schneider Electric on bringing these joint solutions to the healthcare market,” said Franco Castaldini, Chief Commercial Officer, ThoughtWire. “This partnership represents an unmatched offering in terms of breadth and depth, providing the most comprehensive set of capabilities to create truly Digital Hospitals.”

“ThoughtWire’s market proven capabilities have helped hospitals achieve better efficiency, higher patient satisfaction, and cost reduction,” said Mike Sullivan, Building Segments President, Schneider Electric. “This partnership will further help Schneider Electric’s customers transform their hospitals and improve the lives of patients, clinicians, and staff.”

“ThoughtWire’s digital twin helps makes sense of data, driving greater insights and allowing us to create smarter buildings,” said Rebecca Boll, Chief Technology Officer and Vice President of Strategy, Schneider Electric.

Five Questions Every Manufacturing CEO Should Be Asking Their IT Team


https://www.prweb.com/

Manufacturing Day 2019

Manufacturers’ data is becoming the most important asset to their businesses; information, data communication, and data processing technologies are powerful tools that span every element of the manufacturing enterprise,” said Reggie Gresham, vice president of sales & marketing at Matrix Integration.

Automation, artificial intelligence and IoT (internet of things) systems – they’re all part of manufacturing’s digital transformation. More than ever, today’s manufacturing leaders need to stay ahead of the technology that can make or break not just their businesses, but disrupt their entire industry.

In honor of National Manufacturing Day, Fri., Oct. 4, 2019, Matrix Integration, a strategic IT infrastructure partner for more than 1,000 organizations in Indiana and beyond, is offering practical tips for National Manufacturing Day and the entire month of October.

“Manufacturers’ data is becoming the most important asset to their businesses, so information, data communication, and data processing technologies have become powerful tools that span every element of the manufacturing enterprise, including just-in-time delivery of raw materials, real time activities on the factory floor, shipping, marketing, and strategic planning,” said Reggie Gresham, vice president of sales and marketing at Matrix Integration. “To be successful in a data-driven industry is to be proactive with your technology – and if you’re not an IT expert, it means trusting your IT team and knowing the right questions to ask.”

Matrix Integration’s Top Five Questions Manufacturing Leaders Should Ask Their IT Team

The questions below from the experts at Matrix Integration will help CEOs, owners and other manufacturing leaders stay ahead of key issues, from strategy and efficiency to security and disaster recovery.

1. Is our IT system aligned with our current business strategy to manufacture products with improved quality, functionality, and reduced time to market?

Because technology is so integral to manufacturing and logistics today, it’s essential for leaders to discuss business strategy with the IT team to ensure that hardware, software and the integration of the two are supporting those initiatives.

2. Can using our own data help us get our products faster to market, allow for more informed decisions and give us a competitive advantage?

This question gets to the issue of leveraging AI (artificial intelligence) and machine learning. Most companies have been collecting data for years. Can it be analyzed quickly, or does it take weeks or months? Are systems automated to continuously improve efficiency based on data?

3. Are we getting the maximum capacity out of our existing software?

Often in the race to implement software and technology, systems don’t “play nice” with one another. In addition, companies don’t always utilize the software to its full potential. Leaders can work with others in the business, along with the IT team, to pinpoint bottlenecks and work on improving the overall experience of their internal and external software and processes.

4. What kind of visibility do we have into our system?

A recent survey noted a 600-percent increase in the number of attacks against IoT devices, and IoT is just one piece of an increasingly complex manufacturing IT network. In the past, it could be difficult to get a quick snapshot of who’s on the network and what they’re doing. However, modern security infrastructure and software can now provide visibility and make this process as simple as checking a single screen to get an overview of network security.

5. How are we protecting our data?

When a data center goes down, it’s a crisis for any company. For manufacturing and logistics, downtime can mean major lost revenue and fines. Whether data is housed on local servers or offsite in the cloud, the IT team needs to be able to walk leaders through the case of a major outage, whether it’s a power outage, a failed network server, or a malicious cyberattack.

For more information on how manufacturing businesses can maximize their IT spend to stay ahead of the curve, contact Matrix Integration at 1-800-264-1550 or visit the manufacturing section of the Matrix website.
