Show Notes

SAP recently produced a fascinating new whitepaper (seriously!) on enabling technologies for Industry 4.0 (called SAP Enabling Technologies for Industry 4.Now). Given the very close alignment between Industry 4.0 and the digitisation of Supply Chain, I thought I'd invite someone on the podcast to talk about this.

I reached out to my old friend and colleague Elvira Wallis (@ElviraWallis on Twitter), Global Head of IoT at SAP, to ask her to come on the podcast, and she graciously agreed. We had a great chat about the enabling technologies (chiefly IoT and Edge Computing), trains, and swimming!!!

We had fun chatting about this. I hope you enjoy it too.
