The firm particularly plans on focusing on how such technology can be used to drive more efficiency into different industries and different sectors. A good example is how information from manufacturing divisions can be used to communicate with machines and help to make the proper adjustments for the attainment of those extra margins.

The company will initiate the project starting from its Malaysian production center where it is in the pilot phase. The company had set aside $4 million to fund the project. Kern hopes that the pilot phase will yield positive results so that investors and the other company officials can be convinced to get on board with the project.
