Tales from the Toilet: how Javascript helps the production of tissue papers | JS Conf 2019

Producing tissue paper, kitchen rolls, folded napkins or toilet
paper is not for the faint of heart. Gigantic machines rewind huge
rolls of tissue paper weighing almost a ton processing it at a
speed of 40 km/h, and a single minute of downtime cuts into the
slim margins of the paper industry. The asynchronous nature of
Javascript and Node.JS allows telemetry data to be harvested from
ancient PLCs controlling the production, and its real-time analysis
in the cloud, enabling operators and factories to raise production
quality, improve performance and reduce waste. Join me on a journey
to understand how modern programming techniques make IIoT and
Industry 4.0 a reality today in the toilet paper world!
