Hi everybody. I'm Charlie key. I am a co-founder and CEO at Louis. And today. I have the opportunity to be talking to everybody about monitoring plc's specifically in a remote sense using iot. And so we're going to talk a little bit about that today. I'm going to walk through the steps and the ways that we can do that and what a solution you possibly look like. A little bit about myself as I mentioned. I am the co-founder and the CEO at Lowe's and I started my company with a couple other gentlemen. We all have software backgrounds and I've been
interesting Leah not been able to work in the manufacturing environment as I've grown up. And so this topic is pretty near and dear to what I've experienced in. My life has been in some of the things that we happened to work on it local said the manufacturing environment is is full of machines full of equipment and full of capabilities that when we add the teenager to this City's text Solutions. We give a whole new set of capabilities to the to the equipment to the company's into the processes that are involved at Lowe's and we
provide the software platform for iot Solutions. We enable companies to build robust applications and experiences. I can take data from machines provide that data back to their customers and use it internally to improve their processes and a number of Fortune 500 companies in with that. I'm going to talk a little bit about the platform when it comes to the solution, but for the most part, I believe loss and out of this conversation as we are focused on trying to understand how we could build a remote monitoring
