    24. Inside a global giant’s digital transformation process

    If you had a bird’s-eye view of digital transformation projects in manufacturing plants across the world, what would you see? No need to guess: Today, our guest is a man who has that exact view. Tim O’Neal is the Global Operations Director for Operational Excellence and Leveraged Services for Dow Chemical. He oversees digital transformation projects at over 300 plants in 31 different countries.  We have a fascinating conversation about how Tim’s team decides where to pilot new initiatives, how they evaluate success, and what he sees as the future of Industry 4.0. Stick around for the end segment, where we briefly cover the latest in GenAI, digital twins, and 3D printing.  Resources: Read the DORA State of DevOp’s ReportRead Abi Noda’s “Three methods for measuring GenAI adoption and impact”Check out the summary of the Aerospace Components Manufacturing tradeshow Produced by NOVA

    22. Highlights from the International Manufacturing Technology Show

    In Patrick Turley’s own words, his “dogs are barking,” but the ache of his feet doesn’t compare to the excitement he felt walking around the International Manufacturing Technology Show for days. Patrick joins the podcast to give us highlights from the event. He tells about trends he saw from 3D printing and additive manufacturing vendors. Then Patrick goes over what he saw in the automation and robotics space. He wraps up by describing what he saw in terms of connected systems and digital twins. Whether you are a suit-wearing type or a camouflage-hat-wearing type– or both – you’ll get a lot out of this episode, including a renewed excitement about the future of manufacturing.

    19. The state of virtual reality and manufacturing

    What’s virtual reality’s value for manufacturing today? In this episode we break down everything you need to know about today’s spatial computing (virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, etc.) for manufacturers. We discuss how it could speed up and standardize training. We envision how it could empower more stakeholders, including clients and maintenance teams, to provide input earlier in the design process. We also get into the difference between the spatial computing leaders (Apple, Microsoft, and Meta) and what to watch for in this space. The big takeaway: Right now manufacturers can find immediate value in spatial computing by using it as an innovation catalyst. Putting on a spatial computing headset gives new perspective to what is possible, driving teams to better digitize and organize their work.  Resources: Connect with Jason Hehman on LinkedInConnect with Patrick Turley on LinkedInConnect with Ed LaFoy on LinkedIn Produced by NOVA Media

    18. Future-proofing with automation: HS Inc.’s journey

    HS Inc. is a success story of a family-owned manufacturing company surviving and thriving by future-proofing itself. Today its Director of Business Development, Paul St. Louis, joins the show to tell us about their fifty-year evolution from mold maker to automation integrator.  Founded in 1969 close to Detroit Michigan, HS Inc. got its start creating parts for the automotive industry. As the industry changed, HS Inc. changed too. They use their know-how to pivot towards making modular systems that could be easily adapted by a variety of industries– yes, even machines that make sheet cake.  Paul walks us through how HS Inc. leveraged automation to future-proof itself and how it now does the same for its clients.  Plus, stay tuned to the end for our “what we saw in AI this week” section where we discuss the Apple Intelligence announcement.
