The Summer 2014 issue of Prime is out now, focusing on Microsoft technology in discrete and process manufacturing. In this issue, we find out how automotive firm Shelby American is able to design vehicles in three to four months while running its IT department as a profit centre thanks to Dell technology.
Elsewhere in the magazine, LÓré al’s Philippe Thuvien talks about the challenges the company faces and why its new product lifecycle management solution can help. Prime also explores how new role-based work environments are set to bring massive productivity gains in manufacturing and finds out more about how Windows 8 devices and apps are making life easier for manufacturers the world over. Finally, we look at how manufacturers can take advantage of the internet of things to transform their business operations and enhance the customer experience.
