Manufacturing has come a long way since the Industrial Revolution in the 18th Century, writes Martin Hill, the vice president of marketing at Epicor International. The second Industrial Revolution in the 1900s saw the introduction of mass production. In the late 1960s, electronics and the automation of production lines entered the industrial environment.

M2MAPPS: Insurance telematics (UBI) for commercial fleets is a very new area. There are globally approximately 4.6 million vehicles and owners that use some sort of an insurance telematics solution, but not so many in the commercial fleets.
