Partnering with Manufacturing.net, Cisco recently hosted Part II of a webcast series  on 'The Internet of Things ' for Manufacturing.  The content was very well received as it covered some key opportunities in Manufacturing today and how IoT technologies are helping enable an industrial renaissance in many markets today.  The first webcast   was joined by Steelcase's CIO, Bob Krestakos, Joe Kann from Rockwell Automation and Tony Shakib from Cisco.  Meanwhile, for the second webcast, one of our key partners in the industrial space, Rockwell Automation joined us along with Harley Davidson.   Moderated by Jeff Reinke, Editorial Director of Manufacturing.net,  the webcast speakers included David Gutshall, Infrastructure Design Manager at Harley Davidson, Rachel Conrad,  Global Business Manager   at Rockwell Automation and  Bryan Tantzen, Senior Director, IoT Business Unit at Cisco.

Both Part I and Part II are worthwhile, whether you want to learn more about the key areas that are ripe for the IoT opportunity or want to better understand enabling technologies or best practices.  In addition, I summarize David Gutshall's comments on the Harley Davidson deployment and other best IoT practices in my blog, "IoT in Manufacturing: Insights and Best Practices".    We hope you have time to check out these on-demand webcasts.  Thanks for reading.
