<p>Welcome to the industrial talk podcast with Scott Mackenzie. Scott is a passionate industry professional dedicated to transferring cutting edge Industry Focus innovations and trends while highlighting the men and women who keep the world moving. So put on your hard hat, grab your work boots, and let's go</p>
<p>01:36</p>
<p>Alright, once again, welcome to Industrial Talk. And as you can tell by that noise in the background, it's a physician here at FABTECH. We are on site and we're talking to industry professionals all around the world because they are bold, brave, daring greatly. They are changing lives and then therefore changing the world. And I'm not that's not hyperbole. I just believe that in my soul. Sounds good. Thank you very much. I appreciate the support. All right. We have in the hot seat. The gentleman by the name is Brent, you heard him just ever so briefly, you know, it's gonna be a good conversation. Donaldson is the company. Let's get correct. All right. Hey,</p>
<p>02:17</p>
<p>good. Thanks for having me. When did you fly in to win yesterday? Nice. 5am. Flight? Three from Minnesota.</p>
<p>02:27</p>
<p>Gotcha. Did you have a good? I mean, the conference is good.</p>
<p>02:30</p>
<p>Yeah, it's been really good. Last time, it</p>
<p>02:32</p>
<p>was too good conference.</p>
<p>02:34</p>
<p>No variety of different things that you can see a lot here you can see a lot of different things here. The manufacturers see the parts people you see the software, the service, it's really a good variety. And there's something for everybody here, if you're anywhere connected to the industry.</p>
<p>02:48</p>
<p>It's true. And I I always look at it this way better now than ever. You need to connect with individuals that you trust connect with. It's it's happening so quickly, just recognize the fact that one you need to be engaged at, at a minimum, you hear my voice, you hear Brent's voice, you gotta be engaged, at least begin that journey to figure out how to be more efficient, whatever that whatever that goal is. All right, you're speaking. Before we get into that you have a topic at FABTECH. And we're gonna be chirping on that. Before we get into that. You've got to level set and sort of provide some background on who is</p>
<p>03:26</p>
<p>I sure so I kind of started my career as an electrical engineer got into machine to machine communications before it was called IoT, and spent about 15 years partially as an electrical engineer and partially as a product manager working on a variety of things in the IoT space. So logicals gateways, crossroads,</p>
<p>03:48</p>
<p>are you a digital transformation Trailblazer?</p>
<p>03:52</p>
<p>Yeah, I was I was involved back when it was just called machine and machine because the technology was so expensive that you could only connect million dollar machines, the technology got less expensive and all sudden, we could connect things. It didn't have to be a million dollar machine. So all of a sudden, it became the Internet of Things.</p>
<p>04:08</p>
<p>Yeah, I always think that somebody was gathered around a table and try to figure out how to we call all this connected capabilities. And somebody said, How about the things so just things? So Internet of Things. All right, there it is. Lock it in. All right. Now you're speaking at this conference, what was the topic?</p>
<p>04:27</p>
<p>Connected technology can have which connected technology enabling new field service models,</p>
<p>04:35</p>
<p>enabling fields, so take us a little through Give, give us a little what does that mean?</p>
<p>04:40</p>
<p>So you know, traditional field service. So you've got to you know, somebody showed up with a van to fix your equipment or do inspection or equipment. You know, there were two different models. There was break fix. And I call you when my machine is broken down, you come out and fix it. Or there's preventative services, where you maybe you're coming out every three six months year. inspect the machine, try to predict what's you know, what's working, what's not, maybe I can fix the things before you have the breakdown. But that's all before, you know, you had connected technology before you had digital data coming from the machine. Now that field service person, or or the OEM the major equipment, they can now monitor your equipment remotely. And so they can see that an alert is coming, they can do predictive analytics, and now say, you know, that machine actually is about to fail, we're gonna get somebody out there and address it before it actually breaks down. And then, yeah, so So it's a whole different model of service of now. And even if there is a problem now, because I can see the data, even though I'm not inside your factory, four walls, I'm a technician, I can see the data, I know what the problem is, I know what parts I need. I know what the replacement parts are, I know who I need to send out there who's qualified to do the work. So I do know all of that ahead of time, because I can see the data that's coming from that machine. And so hopefully, I can get out there before it breaks down. But even if it breaks down, I already know what the problem is. I know how I'm gonna fix it.</p>
<p>06:03</p>
<p>So these devices that are on that's a refrigerator. That's a washing machine, right? Yeah, yeah, that's saying, Hey, I'm, I'm sending data. Yep. I'm sending it where?</p>
<p>06:13</p>
<p>So it can go anywhere. And so what's that connected component? Yeah, so it's going over wireless, typically, either to a plants Wi Fi network, or over cellular, which is more common for us, it's going up to the cloud. And then from there, you've got a dashboard. And the beauty of that technology is now you can securely share that data. So I can show if I, you know, if I'm a plant manager, I can have my maintenance teams looking at it, I can have my engineering teams looking at it. But I can also securely share that with the third party service companies that I work with, with maybe the dealer I bought my equipment from, or maybe the OEM, the actual manufacturer of the equipment now can all see that data if I choose. And they can all know that ecosystem of people can help me debug troubleshoot service, my machines, it's not all reliant on my internal maintenance.</p>
<p>06:57</p>
<p>And I don't have to think through it, I don't have to have that. Oh, my gosh, it failed. I don't know what to do. Put the meat into another area. And I like that. How does it and I, I get it, it's sort of a, this is a leading question. But so it's sending data all the time to say, Hey, I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm degrading, I'm degrading. And then it sends it to the technician or the solution is this, do you see it as a monthly service to contract service as a software typo,</p>
<p>07:36</p>
<p>it can be all different levels you could pay for for just the software, just I want that dashboard, I want those alerts, I want you to tell me when it's wrong, you know, you can pay for the software and a third party to monitor it for you. So you know, we do that at Donaldson, where we will monitor the equipment on behalf of the customer. So we have product specialists who understand our equipment. So as soon as something comes up, the customer sees, but we also see it and we can look at the day and go okay, you know, we're experts, we know what's wrong, here's what needs to be fixed. And then we can either call the customer and say here, here's what we think you need to do. Or we can work with a service partner and say, you know, this customer's got a problem, and you guys need to get out there. So from a customer's perspective, it's kind of three levels, just give me the software, give me the software but monitored for me, tell me what to do or just all in when there's a problem, you send a tech fix the problem? I don't even want to know about it.</p>
<p>08:22</p>
<p>I don't have that would be me. Yeah. You know, it just FYI, I would the only thing that all I wanted to see would be email or some sort of notification. It could be taxed, I don't care. They'll say, hey, we see something going on out of you. And it's just an interesting question. How do you deal with maybe faulty data? Right? Let's say it's not failing, but for whatever reason, you're getting an unusual, you know, communication. Yeah. How do we deal with it?</p>
<p>08:59</p>
<p>Well, it's tough. And that's always gonna happen. And it could be things from late it could you know, that the actual monitoring equipments not working or wasn't installed, you know, so it's, it's never gonna go away. But it's kind of a hand in hand with the customer to say, and usually you go through that maybe for the first couple of weeks, when something first gets installed, you find those kind of Otterbox issues. And so we'll work directly with customers sometimes, or we'll see, you know, usually we have a somebody an installer service company on site doing the install, we work with them. Bechler Yep, the data looks good. Oh, nope, this data doesn't look good. I think you've installed this backwards onto your types of things.</p>
<p>09:33</p>
<p>Yeah, seeing that, that but but, but the reality is, pretty much, pretty much everything that can be connected will be connected. It just will be eventually it just it just will be it started. There's there's many examples of where it started. But the reality is, is that that refrigerator is going to be connected. That washing machine is going to be whatever connected and and either you embrace it Where you don't? Yeah, but the reality is you're very you're, you're all connected.</p>
<p>10:05</p>
<p>You can come out and sell for us guy you want to come on talk to my customers, here's a great sailors my</p>
<p>10:09</p>
<p>resume right there, but it is it's going to be and and I don't see any issues with it. Maybe I'm naive. I'm sure you have it locked down from a cyber perspective. There's I mean, they're protected, but it's truly, I want to hear somebody knocking at the door, saying, Yep, I'm here to replace that compressor. Thank you. I'm out of here. So where do you see it going now that have painted that picture? And I didn't want to steal your thunder. But where do you see it going? What what are we talking?</p>
<p>10:39</p>
<p>I think the end is you're starting to see it now is customers, you know, industrial users paying for the outcome of their machine, you know, I'm not paying for the machine, I'm not paying for the service, I'm paying for the outcome. You know, Donaldson, we do air filtration. So we eventually want to get to a point where we're just shopping in clean air as a service, you're not paying for the filters, not paying for the industry, you know, the box, not paying for the service. You know, we keep it running with our ecosystem of partners, and you just pay for the output like, like your electrical utility or water, you just paying for that electricity, you're not worried about the transformer, I think more and more models will, will move to that. Because I you</p>
<p>11:15</p>
<p>know, I agree with you 100%. And it's sort of, I see where I was as a boy and how we, we dealt with money and meaning I gotta go to the bank. And there was just, it was just a part of life, we're getting to a point where there's a, there's a speed at which I want that service to be, I don't want to think about it. Don't tell me about changing my filter, I want that filter to be changed. There here, I'll pay you the money. And I don't have to think about it. You just you just want the outcome. That's it. And I think that we're just getting to that point across the board. Like,</p>
<p>11:54</p>
<p>it takes time. There's technical challenges, there's business challenges, but in the end, it aligns everybody at the same goal, same goals, we want that equipment operating.</p>
<p>12:02</p>
<p>But it's happening. And it's happening fast. And and again. Either you're you're on the train, and you're on it and you're saying I accept it, and I'm there. But But how do you what's there's always going to be people are saying no, I don't want that. And it's too invasive. It's too. It's, it's just it's not free for me. What do they do?</p>
<p>12:28</p>
<p>As far as the data? I mean, there's going to be industries where that's going to be a bigger concern, there's always going to be data in the plant that you have to keep secured in the in the four walls because it's your proprietary data. It's your production data. It's that stuff. But there's so much else that doesn't need that level, it still needs to be secure. Yeah, but you know, if you can securely share it with somebody who can use that data to help you. And it benefits everybody involved.</p>
<p>12:53</p>
<p>See, it's just an interesting time. And I remember having conversations around data, all of a sudden, data is king. And there's there's value in that data. And and that's my data. Don't Don't cross pollinated with other data. That's my data. And it's sort of this sort of, can you touch it now you can you just sort of see it displayed. It's so interesting. And it's, again, there's a speed at which it's exciting. Now, I'm old, you're not. Thank you. You're welcome. Anyway, it's an exciting time. And I come here at FABTECH. And we see all of this stuff, and I'm always I'm never ever leave events like this not dazzled and and how people are creating new use cases. Wow, we can put a device here and sip it dip, dip, dip dip. What do you see? I mean, does, Donaldson. I mean, you're all in on this stuff. But what's the next frontier? I mean, what are we? I mean, without divulging, you know, sitting around the star chamber. What is that?</p>
<p>14:12</p>
<p>You know, it's continuing to expand, you know, the technology will continue to get better, you know, we're still at the point easier and easier, yeah, easier to deploy easier to manage. And as it gets, you know, cheaper it becomes easier to deploy. And when we can monitor a $50,000 dust collector today, and can we monitor $150 filter, that's a little bit harder to get the economics around. Let's go into it. It's going to go into let's get it 10 years ago, it had to be a million dollar piece I have yet to see makes sense. So we'll get there. The technology is just continuing to progress on that way.</p>
<p>14:43</p>
<p>It's gonna get there. You know, what I'm always fascinated, is where the data goes. Everybody's talking about the cloud. I think the continent of Australia will be just one big cloud. That's just gonna have to relocate everybody over there and it's just going to be out farm That's my prediction. It's completely wrong. Trust me,</p>
<p>15:03</p>
<p>it's completely you never know. You never know. Oh, yeah, you know, and you're gonna walk away saying,</p>
<p>15:07</p>
<p>That's just crazy talk to people get a hold of you, Brent,</p>
<p>15:11</p>
<p>I can email me at brent.nelson@donaldson.com.</p>
<p>15:16</p>
<p>That's easy peasy. Thank you very much. I really appreciate your flexibility to was on here and all that good stuff not like that conversation. It's exciting. Not a problem, a lot of fun. It is, it really is. Alright, we're gonna have all the contact information for Brent out on industrial talk.com. We are broadcasting on site at FABTECH 2022 here in Atlanta, Georgia, put this on your calendar, because you will not be disappointed. It is a fabulous conference. And you get people like Fred, who are providing solutions and solving problems here at FABTECH. So stay tuned, we will be right back.</p>
<p>15:51</p>
<p>You're listening to the industrial talk Podcast Network.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>15:56</p>
<p>All right. Once again, thank you very much for joining industrial talk and a hearty thank you to Brent Nielsen Donaldson is the company, all his contact information will be out there, I think it you need to connect with Brent, because you're not going to be disappointed on that contact. Because it's all about it's all about that collaboration. It's all about continuous education. It's all about innovation, and you gotta be in the game, be in the game. FABTECH was the conference. It's, it's so much fun, to be able to go to a conference of that size, and see the solutions, visit with the people and and just be able to have great conversations around solving problems. And it is just spectacular is there's a lot more to come from this particular conference. And FABTECH but this year 2023. Put that on your calendar. Yeah, I mean, it's it's a great conference and one worthy of attending Most definitely. All right. As I said, we're going to have another great conversation coming from FABTECH we're going to have some technology sprints and we're going to have some more chirpy conversations with other professional solving problems. So stay tuned. We're going to have another great conversation shortly some there</p>

We were on site at IoT solutions World Congress, Barcelona, Spain, and that is a must attend event for you to put on your calendar, incredible people, incredible companies solving problems and delivering solutions. We also had the opportunity to talk to Bill Hoffman, he is the chairman and CEO of Object Management Group. And we're talking standards. Okay, he's talking standards, but we need to have standards. And I'm telling you right now, this is a paper and pencil conversation with Bill Hoffman, enjoy it.</p>
<p>02:04</p>
<p>Bill Hoffman is in the hot seat on key is the company and he is a part of the industry IoT Consortium. Did I get that? Right? You did, Scott, because you changed it. And I had to sort of like, my brain was wired the other way. And it was, I don't know, my ears started to bleed.</p>
<p>02:21</p>
<p>Well, you know what happened? No, please tell me found out that industrial for some of the markets that are using this technology didn't resonate, particularly with doctors. So industry made more sense.</p>
<p>02:35</p>
<p>So what was funny is that when I saw that, and and different color palette, now it's blue. And then I it was rough. I just want to let you know, I was tossing to turn into No, I was I just wanted to I wanted to bring the drama. So let's, for the listeners out there. Let's let's talk a little bit about just the the Object Management Group structure to consortiums. How that lines up and then let's talk a little bit about what's going on with with these Consortium. A</p>
<p>03:09</p>
<p>sure that's great. Hey, Scott, were 33 years old. I went to work with OMG started 33. I went to work three months after it started. Both Richard soli and myself thought it was a two year gig. We had a lot more hair. Here it is.</p>
<p>03:27</p>
<p>Yeah, it had and, and and the energy is still there. Absolutely. It's absolutely you you wander around and this this, this environment this this conference, chock full of energy, absolutely passion.</p>
<p>03:41</p>
<p>And you know, we're also glad to be back. Oh, my goodness, this is my first event outside the states since COVID. And I am delighted. You know, to see people that I have talked to on Zoom calls now for two years without ever meeting in person. I didn't recognize some of it. We've had employees we've hired I've never been in terms no way really hired him virtually during the middle of COVID during lockdown.</p>
<p>04:05</p>
<p>It was weird because I had I had the same thing i i met so many people that I've met virtually and and you walk in fact, no. One walked up, Scott. Well, hey, how are you? Yeah, it but it's a good thing. And it's good to be back.</p>
<p>04:21</p>
<p>It's good to be back.</p>
<p>04:22</p>
<p>Did you get all sort of stressed out with being tested and getting on the plane and making sure that you're you do everything sort of the way it needed to be done? I was I was a little tweaked on that. Well,</p>
<p>04:33</p>
<p>I gotta go back. So same thing. I gotta have a test tomorrow so I can get back on the plane.</p>
<p>04:38</p>
<p>Again, I'm sorry to deviate here. Are you going to get at the airport? No. So you gotta you gotta please</p>
<p>04:44</p>
<p>here. I have an appointment. Downtown. I just get off stop guide.</p>
<p>04:49</p>
<p>Well, we were instructed to go to the airport and they would take care of it there. So okay, well, we'll talk offline. How's that? All right, so let's go back to the original conversation. You know, I'm GE, the consortiums that hang off a little structure.</p>
<p>05:06</p>
<p>So we started as a standards development organization. And our, our standards are ubiquitous everywhere read everything from every cell phone around the world to the International Space Station to Mayo system, Mayo Clinic, the new plastic destroyers are all running on top of bone G standards. We've done really well with standards. And then along came the industrial Internet. And that's where we started the IIC, which is now the industry IoT consortium. And obviously, that was the genesis of what brought us to this show. We met with the fewer people eight years ago. And we sketched out that, you know, we thought we needed a way to show people not just what the technology was, but how do you use it? How do you measure return on investment? What partners do you use with these things? No one company can do this alone. No one thing about all these technologies, no one company could solve all these problems. It is collaborative,</p>
<p>06:01</p>
<p>it is collaborative, it's human. And it's collaborative. Without a doubt, there's no other way the digital transformation</p>
<p>06:06</p>
<p>journey depends on multiple partners. Trusted, trusted PR, because</p>
<p>06:12</p>
<p>that's another sort of nugget of truth that comes out. It's like, yeah, I understand the need to do this. I'm a company, I understand it. Where do I start? Who do I trust? And are you going to create a lot of problems for me? So those are really this is like, you know, foundational. And that's why this is so, so important. That's</p>
<p>06:33</p>
<p>why the show did so well. You know, I have to tell you coming into this this year's event, we didn't know what to expect. Because, you know, two months ago, we weren't sure what was happening a month ago, we weren't sure what, two weeks ago, we weren't sure what was going to happen. We know that for a lot of our friends in the Asian Pacific they weren't unable to attend. We also know that a lot of our friends in the States, they can't wait to the last minute to make a trip like this. And a lot of people you know, need two months in advance notice, and they didn't have that based on the variants that were going around. So we're tickled the amount of people that have made it to this event.</p>
<p>07:07</p>
<p>It is great. And validation is there 1000s 1000s</p>
<p>07:12</p>
<p>of people here 1000s of people, but as I walk around the exhibitors will seem to be happy, the quality of the of the attendees are the right kind of people were really cool about a lot of the stuff. But what we're really hot on is that beyond IoT, and IoT, now, if you look around the show for it, you see digital twin stuff, you see artificial intelligence, you see augmented reality, you these are the areas that are emerging technologies that are going to make a big difference in these companies digital transformation journey. And we'll continue to evolve the show to reflect these technologies as they are. So</p>
<p>07:46</p>
<p>this is what I was interested in I it was an epiphany that took place and I said, You know what? IoT is just all of a sudden become this miscellaneous file, because you got digital twin, you got AI, you got cloud, you've got edge, you've gotten thinner, and you've got, you know, just as whatever it is, it's just goes on and on and on. And so IoT almost has to be redefined to a certain extent. I don't know, I'm just sort of</p>
<p>08:14</p>
<p>all these tangentially overlap. They do. They do they,</p>
<p>08:18</p>
<p>again, back back to the collaboration. You can't just you can't just be in a silo and say, Hi, I have a device and they've collapsed. And that's it. And that, you know, you find out the connectivity of it. Right. That's right. That's good. So So these, these consortiums, what, what's the thinking behind it? Well, you</p>
<p>08:35</p>
<p>have communities of people who have a vested interest in a certain technology and how to apply it to their business or their organization, in the hopes of either gaining efficiency, profitability, making it a better world. There's a variety of reasons why people are embracing these things. But the other thing is, is that you can't be left behind. You can't be the last guy to get on the bus.</p>
<p>09:00</p>
<p>That is the biggest concern no matter how, you know, there's gonna be pain. It's, it is what it is, but I'd rather deal with the pain. And then or Wait, you can't do that. You gotta wait, gotta participate.</p>
<p>09:12</p>
<p>You have to remain competitive. And you'd have to remain looking at advanced technologies, because that's where the competitive fronts battles.</p>
<p>09:21</p>
<p>to sort of make that a concrete statement. We were here, what, three years ago, I think it is give or take a few whatever. We were here, and the conversations have changed dramatically, from what it was just just three years ago, to what it is today, where it is real. And then people are just like, yep, digital twin. Yep. All right there, man. We're hopping on this, that and we're doing things that didn't happen. COVID But I think no, see, I think my belief is that COVID helped facilitate it a speed</p>
<p>09:56</p>
<p>of this did in some degree. Yeah, directions. Absolutely. Absolutely. Because</p>
<p>10:02</p>
<p>if I'm a business, I all of a sudden realized how maybe vulnerable I am. Oh, I was, I was thinking about this neat little thing called digital transformation. And I might have been doing it. Now all of a sudden, it became real. It became a thing that it's like, oh, this is I need to survive. I need. This is my problem. I need visibility. Let's make it happen. And I think that</p>
<p>10:22</p>
<p>that's good. Yep. Yep. Yep. And it's been an interesting mix of of exhibitors on this for this year. There are a lot of companies that I wouldn't traditionally see at this show. But I think it's part of the evolution as we evolve beyond IoT. So you're seeing companies with different technologies and different takes and different pieces of the ecosystem? And that's really cool.</p>
<p>10:45</p>
<p>You're absolutely right, because I had been walking the floor, and I've gone, why are you? Why are you here? But back to that collaborative. There is this compounding that takes place and saying, Hi, I'm a technology and I, I do this, and then somebody comes in and says, you know, I'm a technology, I've got this innovation, and then all of a sudden those two people talk and say, what if we did this, creating a new use case? Say it'll do this? And then that's just the beginning of it. Right? And he's just got to keep on feeding it. Just keep on going.</p>
<p>11:15</p>
<p>But it's all about the solutions, right? So it's not about the technology, per se, it's it's about applying it as solutions. And it is solving problem solving problems. Yeah, it's it's a beautiful thing. And I just think that's how much fun can we have? Yeah,</p>
<p>11:32</p>
<p>we were chirping last night. And you were saying, Hey, how about this? How about that? It doesn't stop? No. Now, which, which is a good question to ask. Because there's a velocity because there's this buzz. The masses don't see this. This is this is happening here. And it's great. And it's wonderful. But a lot of people don't know, though, but it will affect them, it will affect them. How do we increase that visibility? Because it's just it's, it's so what</p>
<p>12:02</p>
<p>you have to Scott, I mean, you know, people don't ask how gasoline is required. They just want to go into their classroom, right. And people don't necessarily want to know how technology came about. They just want to know they can use it, use it and make it simple for me. We were the standards business alone, we used to say nobody wants to see sauce standards being made just like sausage. In the end user just wants to standard. They don't want to know. So I think there's a special market for people like us. Oh, yeah. Alright. Yes, technologists who understand where we're where we have to go to apply these technologies. And we're learning now how to do it. And the whole idea of the Congress is to bring in people that have already done it to some degree so that we can learn from them. So rather than to have a bunch of vendors stand up and tell us we want to have their customers stand up and say, This is what worked this is what didn't work. This is the ROI on getting this, these were the problems I had, yeah, these are the problems I was able to solve. These are the problems that are still out there. Out of insecurity, right? Interoperability always gonna be it's just all well, it doesn't matter what technology to always have in the cyber security people here. Awesome. That's part of the ecosystem. Yeah.</p>
<p>13:09</p>
<p>See, what is also interesting as, and I think that what you provide team OMG team, Congress, Team consortium provide is a a trusted ecosystem of people who are trying to solve the problems, and then be able to have a way of sharing to say, hey, this worked. This was I did this and but that conversation has to happen, or, or it will, it won't progress. Right. Right. Because, again, there's a velocity out there that that is just blistering.</p>
<p>13:48</p>
<p>Yep. And the thing that comes shining through face to face matters. Tell people I have literally zoomed out.</p>
<p>13:58</p>
<p>Yeah. I didn't realize how many cues I take from face. Right, right. Like, Oh, I must have said something wrong. Maybe they didn't understand that maybe I need to clarify things just sort of in the head. Just start, you know, rattling</p>
<p>14:13</p>
<p>I just had three people bumped me on the way over here that wanted to talk to me</p>
<p>14:16</p>
<p>now. Phil Hoffman, just your bill was virtual,</p>
<p>14:22</p>
<p>you know, they'd have to you'd have to send me an email.</p>
<p>14:26</p>
<p>Or you could do what I do. And I just have a Calendly link and everybody just jumps on in any way and I'm just sort of sit at my high and you are great. Let's talk.</p>
<p>14:36</p>
<p>I actually tried that didn't work. For me. It's like everybody everybody glommed on, like I was</p>
<p>14:41</p>
<p>just gonna say, How come I didn't get a link? Because it's true.</p>
<p>14:46</p>
<p>Unfortunate where people want to sell to me that we wanted to sell to</p>
<p>14:50</p>
<p>true Gosh, but everybody in that COVID world that we're trying to survive, so are trying to figure out what what we're selected Uh, and and for me, it's a good feeling to just see people back to semi normal next year is going to be even better next year is gonna, you know, we're just gonna have to be optimistic about it. What what dazzles me is what kind of conversation is going to happen next year after something like this where people all of a sudden say, oh my gosh, I've met you at IoT solutions World Congress, and we were talking, and then they build that relationship, and they'll come back here, presented whatever. Yep,</p>
<p>15:32</p>
<p>yep, we're onto something big. You</p>
<p>15:34</p>
<p>guys are our fan. And I started getting the picture. And you know, I just, I sit in, I'll buzz around. And that's great. But But now I understand.</p>
<p>15:43</p>
<p>Not only that, it's fun. It is. It's fun.</p>
<p>15:48</p>
<p>So, so throw some future stuff at us. Right? Give me some sort of thing that should blow my mind's. Yeah, I'm calling you on the carpet there? Because I'm always Because? Because I just have those the team over there that was dealing with the the augmented reality charm and all that stuff? Oh,</p>
<p>16:07</p>
<p>sure. Well, you know, there's an old joke about the factory of the future. And that is it has a one employee and a dog, dog. And the dog is here. So the employee doesn't touch anything. But that's where we're at. I know, right? I mean, because you got computer vision, you have reality, you have augmented reality, artificial intelligence, you have all these technologies that we can bring to bear. And will will create a better world, a more efficient world. It's going to be a great run.</p>
<p>16:43</p>
<p>And maybe it's just me, every time I come here, my wife gets sick and tired of talking to me, because I'll just sit there. Did you see this? Did you? Oh, my gosh, how about that? I can't believe it. I'm having a hard time putting my mind around now. Like, I just I sound like an old Briggs and Stratton engine. I can't stop talking about it. Because Because there's smart people out there. And I just went when somebody says, Hey, how about this guy? I didn't even think about that. Or I didn't think big enough. Or I just said really? It's exciting. So how does somebody get to be a part of the Congress, the consortium? Get a hold of you? What's the best way to say hey, I want to get a gauge to</p>
<p>17:26</p>
<p>or www dot O M G dot o RG?</p>
<p>17:31</p>
<p>That's us. Yeah. There you go.</p>
<p>17:33</p>
<p>By the way, we were just talking earlier, somebody asked me about presenting oh my god, the first guy ever heard say That was Bob Metcalf VentureBeat.</p>
<p>17:45</p>
<p>All I can remember is object oriented identity is not Object Management, object oriented, totally. Cobalts in there. Again, Rockstar, thank you very much. And once again, we're broadcasting from the IoT solutions World Congress put that on your bucket list is going to be bigger, better and in just next year is going to be incredible. Because Where where are these guys going to take? Kids never stops? Standards? Just absolutely. All right. You're gonna get all Phil's contact information out on industrial talk and all the links to IoT and in the consortiums. See how it did ask because you don't just have one? No majority consort, the</p>
<p>18:28</p>
<p>digital twin console. Industry is solely responsible for new augmented reality new dad, plus the standards development. So yeah, we're busy guys.</p>
<p>18:40</p>
<p>Yeah. Awesome. All right, we will be right back. So stay tuned, do not go away. You're listening to the industrial talk Podcast Network.</p>
<p>18:56</p>
<p>Right, once again, thank you very much for joining and supporting industrial talk and learning with me, because I'm telling you right now, the learning never stops. You have to be about educating, collaborating and innovating. It's it's happening and it's happening fast. Thank you to build up. Did I tell you did I tell you paper and pencil? And there's a lot more get engaged? Well, I'm G getting engaged with IIC. And definitely, definitely. But the IoT solutions World Congress on your calendar, you will not be disappointed, great leaders, great solutions, solving problems and making our lives better. How can you argue with that? All right, again, industrial talk is where you can connect with Bill hoppin, do it, make that a priority? And then hang out with those folks at OMG? Because you will not. I mean, it's it's an important time. Thank you once again for joining and hanging out with people like Bill Hoffman and you're gonna change the world. We're gonna have another great conversation from IoT solutions world coalition</p>

And you're saying to yourself, Scott, where's that jazzy intro that you normally have for your podcast? Well, this is a series. This is a unique series of interviews that were conducted on site at the IoT solutions World Congress in Barcelona. Excellent event, excellent venue, incredible professionals all focused on solving problems, helping us navigate these waters of digitization, and it's all happening at the IoT solutions World Congress, you need to put that on your bucket list. So with that said, let's get on with the interview.</p>
<p>02:02</p>
<p>To experts, Siemens as a company, we're going to be talking to Gunther, and Petra, specifically around the value to the enterprise with digital transformation. As you guys are all caught off guard, you didn't realize that's how I roll it. You guys do it. You have to Yeah, good time. Good. Good conference. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Just just yeah. Thank</p>
<p>02:31</p>
<p>you. Thank you for inviting us good. Yes. We already enjoy it here. The conference, walking over the floor and looking what is new.</p>
<p>02:41</p>
<p>Actually, it's also very nice that it's in Barcelona.</p>
<p>02:44</p>
<p>That no problem, isn't it? That's not That's not a bad thing. It's, it's a plus I keep on telling everybody. Yeah, once you come to Barcelona, make sure that you make this part of your bucket list to come to this particular conference. But yeah, Barcelona, we're going to a secret bar tonight. You want to know about it. Secret one, I see a hush hush. I'll share it with you guys if you want to, because I will. That's how I roll their toe. But we're gonna. So for the listeners out there. Let's start with you, Petra, and give us a little background. How long have you been with Siemens? And what's your background? As a professional?</p>
<p>03:20</p>
<p>Well enough to many years actually enough? Been a customer of Siemens before that that's been working in the aluminum industry? Oh, yes. Really? Yeah, we were flat rolling aluminum for can makers to make a lot of cans for beer, and other beverages, of course. So I've been a customer of Siemens, and then I changed sides. We recruited you. Well, I sort of wanted to know, you know, how they're all doing that. And then they told me I should try to actually unify a little bit of their portfolio because they're having lots of software. Since around about 10 years, they've been investing heavily in software, and they want to unite that software portfolio with their hardware portfolio. And that's a challenge.</p>
<p>04:09</p>
<p>Yeah, you're sort of soft pedaling. It's a big challenge. And it is something that has to happen in the world of digital transformation. If digital transformation is the sort of this solution to make you more efficient, create a business that's far more resilient, be able to give you insights, all of that good stuff. You need. need people like you to be able to make that happen because apparently you execute what about you? Gunther? Give us a background. Dr. Gunther?</p>
<p>04:36</p>
<p>Yeah, so yeah, I'm was research collaborator in a university there is where the doctor comes from, and now I'm since Yeah 99 with Siemens, but in different roles and in different areas. I started with Siemens, automotive, then Siemens healthcare. And then now so large drives and now with digital industries. Yeah, I've worked in The US and Mexico and also in other countries. So now I'm making stronger digital transformation.</p>
<p>05:08</p>
<p>Yeah, mad streak right now. But one of the questions I do have, and when we start talking about digital transformation, let's say I'm a manufacturer, okay? I'm Scott manufacturer. And and I hear about all this digital transformation stuff, everybody say, Hey, you got to do there, got it, you got IoT, you got the edge, you've got thin edge, you've got far edge, you've got near edge, you've got all of this stuff. And it's, it's just this lexicon of just things and all I care about is making my business more efficient. Getting some insights, and I don't want a headache. And I need to trust somebody to do it. Because all of a sudden, IoT for I O T is like this miscellaneous file now. And it includes everything doesn't include my laundry, but it does include everything else. Money never know. Sure, come next year, and Scott, we're going to be dealing with your laundry, IoT. So how do you how do you approach someone with the with the fact that this is the market that you navigate through? And how do you begin to instill this to Guntur? How do you instill some confidence in trust? Knowing that, yeah, you're the one.</p>
<p>06:23</p>
<p>First of all, because we are running our own factories, and we are using also our solutions in our factories. So this is what we also can show and demonstrate to our customers when they are visiting our factories. And yeah, by circumstances. Some of our factories are internationally also known as digital Lighthouse factories, and recognized by this also by the World Economic Forum. And as we are using our tools and implementing them, of course, we are able to develop them really, so that they are bringing the value to our customers.</p>
<p>07:09</p>
<p>Outside of the fact that I was pretty geeky about digital lighthouse. I like that word analogy, because I believe there are many out there that that we talked to use cases was like, hey, there's a new use case here. Here's a technology that is new, and we have this one. And then we created a new use case that apparently this is a problem. And we just sort of keep on going. But with Siemens, there's there's there's, there's real, it's, it's real, and I can me, I can say, hey, I want to go there, and I'm going to see it in action. Right?</p>
<p>07:45</p>
<p>Absolutely. And I think what it really adds value to all of this is really fast, we can not only talk about use cases and technologies, but we can also talk about what you need to make it happen. To implement it, we can really give some hints as to how high the efforts are, what kind of people you might be needing, and, and all the stuff that you need to think around. Yeah, you know, making the tap. And also,</p>
<p>08:10</p>
<p>you brought up another good point and we can sort of pull on that string just ever so briefly, is that there is a workforce component here. And there is a need to because this is so new outside of the fact there's a velocity that exists here with this technology. Yesterday, it was this and now today it's that and and the workforce itself has to have that, you know, upskill reskill, do we have the right people, how do we plan going forward? What is that going to look like? How do we begin to address that from a Siemens perspective? Because, again, you come to me and say, yep, digital transformation is going to create this business that's going to be more efficient, you're gonna see this you're going to do this you're going to be more resilient than whatever, but I can't find people what do we do with that?</p>
<p>09:01</p>
<p>Yeah. Now you have, how we address this with the staff we have on board and the other aspect was what you mentioned how we can find people Yeah. So, of course, we have to deal exactly with the same problems as anywhere in any any other company out there of why we are implementing these digitalization in this digital transformation as this is why it's called transformation. Of course, we have to think about our staff, our people and how to communicate this transformation to them. So from our point what we are doing is we have continuously communication with our people in our shop floor meetings, what they are going to expect what we are going to do and what we are going to address to stay competitive, to stay on the yeah ahead of technology and why we are doing Of course, we are offering all our staff rescaling and upskilling programs, as we are developing these technologies, and we are also imperiled developing rescaling and upskilling programs. And everyone, every every employee at Siemens has the possibility to log on our platform, which is called the solution platform and also the learning world where they are, can find their individual reskilling upskilling paths According to her, and his individual job profile. So for example, if you are a maintenance technician, and you would like to stay up to date ahead and be attractive for your employee, then you go into this learning world, you will find a path, a learning path individually for this career. And then it tells you what will be maybe expected from you in the future and how you can upskill yourself. So you have individually the possibility to create and to follow up, and you do it when you want. So also this is new ways of working you do it when you have the time you do it when you have the Yeah, yeah, when you would like to do it, because then also then when you are percepts, or when you have the perception, and this is how we address them.</p>
<p>11:48</p>
<p>Because that is excellent, you're absolutely spot on. I like that. Because the reality is, is that there's this velocity, this buzz, this thing that exists with in today's technology that is sped up fast, and therefore there is I can't see a time when, hey, I'm good. I'm all I'm all educated, I'm good to go. And it would seem to me, that is a continuous education, because there's going to always going to be some new technology, there's always going to be greater value in whatever is getting and it's going to we're going to roll it out. Petra, how did you sort of you're semi new, but you've come from the aluminum industry, that's a heavy duty manufacturing centric type of business. How did that that business deal with this digital transformation? Were they wrestling with it at that time? Well,</p>
<p>12:42</p>
<p>I, of course, it's a different type of manufacturing in aluminum. And so I would say they were probably a little bit behind Siemens also, because if you look at Siemens, as a company, it's a very engineering driven company. Of course,</p>
<p>12:57</p>
<p>a lot of companies are behind Siemens. So sure, if that's a problem,</p>
<p>13:05</p>
<p>totally, you could see that, you know, you would have all these very curious engineering driven people in the factories also. And now here comes a very special element that we have, with the digitalization of our own factories, it is that we can add even more purpose to what the people are doing. And putting in all this effort into digitizing our own factories, it is that they can actually help to make our own products better. So they have an extra purpose in what they are doing every day. They do not only make our factories better, but they help the solution providers that we have in house in Siemens who provide software for industry to make that software better. And so I think that adds a little extra spark in their little extra motivation, especially also to the already highly skilled workers and engineers in the factories. And it also adds obviously, a little bit more speed simply just because you're exposed to to higher pressure also or you want to you want to show off, you know, not only for your factory, but also towards the towards the solution provider.</p>
<p>14:14</p>
<p>So, go until we start talking about digital transformation. There's a lot of people talking about it. Yes, it is a word that is bantered back and forth. But I like the fact that you mentioned the need to bring value to the enterprise. In that process going to do is sit down with an organization can you say hey, let's take a steineke tiny step, move forward there. Or how do you how do you approach an organization to saying you need to do it let's bring value let's do it this way.</p>
<p>14:48</p>
<p>Yeah. As we are wanting to bring value to the digital transformation to digitalization, we are not coming from the technology. We are coming from the most pressing topics of our factories. So, we are going into our factories and together with them, we are working out what is the what are the most pressing topics and how can we how digitalization can support to solve these, and we cut out a piece of a maybe a bigger problem and make the life on the shop floor for the factories easier. And so, this is how value comes into the approach what mostly, we see is done wrongly that you address it by technology, hey, how about using Blockchain how to use edge technology and then what is the value now, you have to address it from the problem and and while you are really solving a problem together with the factories, you are leverage the motivation, the acceptance at the same time. So coming back to our people, and also the value is directly there. The next thing is if you are looking for solutions on the shop floor, and you do it in many different factories, you get a feeling of which solutions are scalable. So yeah, so you develop a solution, which can then be rolled out over the factories, and you multiply it and then digitalization has a much higher impact on the company. And while you are looking for such scalable solutions, so the step, bringing this to the market and have an even an enterprise impact while you are offering a solution, which is tested in your environment by a problem is then something which brings also value to the customers.</p>
<p>16:59</p>
<p>So one of the things that I've really, I can appreciate it, it seems that this IoT, this conference, there is a there's good and bad with a pandemic got it, I understand the bad, but the good. I've come to realize that there is a necessity to collaborate more, there's a necessity to be able to have greater conversations and what you just painted Gunther is said, we're going to sit down with your customer, we're not going to we're not going to say hey, here, this is the device you need this is this and and and you just sort of do this. No, you're there to have that dialogue to say, Okay, what is that pressing problem, we can slice it out. And then we can say, all right, it's gonna work, scale it, and then be able to create greater value, which is your ultimate effort. You don't want to just do something and say, Yeah, that's it, man. Good luck. That's a headache. And we know that there are a lot of legacy systems out there that fall into that category. So Petra, where do you see? Where do you see that going? I mean, I'm just telling you right now, two years ago, or three years, when we're when I was here last three years ago, maybe that's and then we hit the pandemic. So it's been four years. God, it's been three years. Yes. I just became older. Anyway, the conversation has changed so dramatically. I mean, it has to where it was like, Hey, we can put this device on this asset, and we can pull data. Now it's complete. That's like, yeah, that's, yeah, we can do that. But now let's start looking at the data, slicing the data, making sense out of the data, creating tactical recommendations. From here, where do you see it going? I mean, this, this is exciting. I don't have a future. What do you think it's going?</p>
<p>18:57</p>
<p>Yes, I think you're so first of all, yes, I think you're right. I mean, we've really shifted from a hive discussion into a, you know, sort of no nonsense discussion. So people are really working on many of these use cases, and they have the people that it takes for it. So where are they going? I think what we see now more and more is that we go away to be going to a very data driven logic. And that also means that we start to start to slowly shift a little bit away from that engineering driven logic logic, which is an if then logic where we think we can sort of control everything in that sequence. But to turn obviously, to statistically driven logic, some some start to call it AI and then go into all these algorithms and so on and so forth. So where we go into data clustering, and then really, you know, have all these these data scientists also on our shop floors, I'm looking into our data. So that is definitely something that I can be that I can see another thing that I believe is happening to is really this convergence of OT and it Oh, that's a huge, that's a whole nother topic. Yeah. So, so we were having all these people who were really, really good with all the machines and, you know, have their their very own programming logic in there. And now this programming logic from the from the machine level needs to fuse into the logic that we have in software. And that blink brings such a whole lot of changes we did, that's not just on a technical level, actually, that really also goes into how we're driving projects. Because software, people tend to have a lot shorter innovation cycles, they're, they're all working in that really HL mode. And that's something that from the hardware world, we don't know as well, because we are very used to hardware needing to really, you know, stand too many limits, and really stand up too many quality tests, and so on and so forth. So we are not used to put out into the world some piece of hardware, which is semi functional. Whereas we might bring some semi functional software onto the market, just because we can very quickly and very easily in short cycles improvement. So</p>
<p>21:21</p>
<p>that's, that's why when Microsoft launches a new update, they know that they're going to have bugs, and then that's already out there, whether they like it or not, they're going to have the user community saying that's not working. Hey, thank you very much. It's corrected now. You know, that's, that's the reality. And one last question to go into. This is all interesting, from my perspective, the reality is this available from the small to midsize businesses as well or is this just a, this whole digital transformation is only for the big boys and girls, and it's available for the small amount</p>
<p>21:55</p>
<p>that will be there, the whole digitalization aspect is nothing. Just for big enterprises. I would sometimes also name it, digitalization pushes lean to the limits. So you start from the shop floor, you implement smart solutions, small solutions, which make a great impact. Even a small algorithm who predicts maybe machine breaks down a few hours or a few hours before it really happens, brings a lot of value in small companies. It's very easy to deploy a very easy installed. And the big solutions, of course, installed over factory networks. Yep, that is then for enterprise companies.</p>
<p>22:47</p>
<p>All right. I gotta run off to another meeting that can you believe it? Well, yeah. And go on into the auditorium. You're gonna see me over there. And thank you for having us. So let's, let's for the listeners, how do I get a hold of you, Petra, talk to us. How do I how do I connect?</p>
<p>23:02</p>
<p>My name is Petra, mom. I'm looking forward to meet you.</p>
<p>23:05</p>
<p>That's right. That's M O N. N. And Dr. Gunther? How do they get ahold of you?</p>
<p>23:12</p>
<p>You can also find me on don't biting their nails.</p>
<p>23:17</p>
<p>You guys were fantastic. Thank you very much for saying yes. I enjoyed this conversation. Excellent job. All right, listeners, we're gonna wrap it up for today. This is day two, the end of day two, at the IoT solutions World Congress. It is an exceptional event. Put that on your calendar. And if you have any issues, comments or concerns about the contact information for your night, it's going to be at the industrial talk.com. And we're gonna wrap it up on the other side. So stay tuned, we will be right back. You're listening to the industrial talk Podcast Network. All right, once again, thank you very much for joining industrial talk. And as you can tell, we were broadcasting live from IoT solutions World Congress in Barcelona, what a great opportunity. It was a lot of fun. I gotta tell you to meet incredible professionals, why Cooter, Petra and others that are really focused in on solving problems making the future bright, for lack of a better term? All right. Put that on your bucket list. Yeah, why I now we're going to have all the contact information out on industrial documents. But we're also pulling together a just an ever expanding ecosystem of professionals like gouner and Petra, and others that are really focused in on delivering value, thinking differently. So please, support industrial talk, support the individuals that are out there, support the sponsors that make this happen, like Armis, like cap logistics, and please be that we're gonna have another great conversation from IoT solutions World Congress, so stay tuned.</p>

<p>On this episode of industrial talk, we're talking about simple, automated guided vehicle solutions. Now, I'm all about simple as you can imagine, and we're talking to Mike Kotzian. And he is with Kivnon. We're gonna just don't have to lay the lumber of why this is so important. Let's get going.</p>
<p>00:24</p>
<p>Welcome to the industrial talk podcast with Scott Mackenzie. Scott is a passionate industry professional dedicated to transferring cutting edge industry focused innovations and trends while highlighting the men and women who keep the world moving. So put on your hardhat, grab your work boots, and let's go Oh, looky,</p>
<p>00:42</p>
<p>looky, we're back. We're back celebrating new industrial heroes all around the world. Because you are bold, you are brave, you're daring greatly. You're solving problems. Yeah, you're collaborating? Absolutely. And you're making my lives and the lives of many around the world better. Wow. That's why we celebrate you on this particular podcast, as mentioned, my cop scenes in the hot seat, give nine is the company. And you know, we're just talking about automated vehicles. But for me, personally, simple is better. So let's get cracking. I'm all about simple. I think if you make things difficult for people to understand, they're not gonna they're not gonna listen to you. I think if you make it difficult to try to deploy something, you're not going to have great success. Because I think that, especially now and I think where innovation is heading, I think innovation is has been heading to the point where the end user is just paramount. Simple is better, getting it in the hands of the the frontline people or wherever it's supposed to get in the hands of. And if you make that solution, easy, powerful and usable. You've got a success model right there, baby. And I think there are many companies out there that are really working hard and diligently on doing that. All right. On the calendar, I want to be able to sort of pump an event that I think that you need to go to. It is the IoT solutions World Congress event it is in Barcelona, it is May 10 through the 12th. And you're saying Scott, why do I want to do that? You want to do it, because it's important for us to get back to whatever that next normal is. And that means face to face conversation, a little bit of human interaction, get more done when you're, you know, you're right there face to face, looking right at the individual. That is a great event, because of COVID hadn't been there for a couple years. Of course, like many haven't. But it's in Barcelona and my recommendation, my TED hardhat recommendation, IoT solutions World Congress is where it's at another point, one conference to Dotto, you're saying to yourself, Scott, what is that I'm tired of, you know, all of the number dot O type of solutions, but this one's different. And the reason is, is that if we are to get together, get back together, get get sort of the, you know, the blending of both the virtual important, we're all working from our home, and just it's just the way the world is going right now. But I think real successful companies are going to be focused on that real human interaction, whatever that takes that face to face human interaction. And I think events such as IoT solutions, world, Congress and others, are just absolutely great at that. Now, what do I mean by No, I think God are the days of, you know, prepaid debit, we'd go to these events just because it was in our budget, and we'd go there, drink some good cocktails and eat some great food and Yuk it up with people at the event. But really did things really get progressed, I think that we need to start thinking of these events as real strategic engagement engagements. And to be able to do that we have to really plan. There's like a pre plan our meetings, plan, our connections, plan on the, for lack of a better term, the prospects we want to get in front of, and then there's the the during, right, you're going to sit there and you got your stuff all laid out. You're going to be talking about it, you've got that conversation happening. And then of course, one of the most important components of course, is the post and that is the follow up. That's the nurturing and that's what you need to do. But it requires a lot of effort to get to those those three steps. Now. I call it conference to Dotto because what I do here at industrial talk is this ecosystem that is being created with Great companies great leaders, is that</p>
<p>05:04</p>
<p>we create that whole strategy in the beginning, get people on the podcast, get people sponsoring, get people having that conversation and highlighting, right, highlighting what they are doing, highlighting that subject matter, get it going, have that conversation, create that relationship, that friendship, and be able to have that asset that, that interview that that conversation asset. And during the conference, we're there on site, man, this is on site, boom, we're working. And we're interviewing the best, the best that these companies have to offer. But the most important component is after and you know, we'll create a video and we'll create all the great content, the interviewing content, the media content, everything there from the event, fun stuff. It's all fun, it better be fun. It better be entertaining, right? Oh, you're not gonna listen to it. You're not even gonna watch it. Why would you watch it? So that's our model. But the best part about it is after the fact, this is where you begin to nurture. This is where you begin to collaborate. This is where you begin to begin to develop those real meaningful relationships, the friendships that come out as a result of these events. Important, but you got to keep at it. You can't let it go. And but I'm going to just sort of throw a little wrinkle in there. Yeah, you've got a great solution. Don't get me wrong, great solution, thumbs up everything all fine and dandy with that. But how about it, if you take this approach, if you're truly destined, you're truly passionate, if you're truly committed to the, your, your existing customer, or your prospects success? That to me is a collaborative conversation. Sure, I could say, Hey, I do this. But I think that we don't have all the answers. And if I'm looking for solutions, and I have an idea that, you know, company, a over here has the right solutions for you. I better I better have the integrity and the the the moral fortitude to say, hey, company, I, you need to go over here. I think they have the the solutions. I think each conference needs to go by that model. To to get the most out of all the engagements, we just have to be able to get that this this. This ecosystem, the industrial talk ecosystem is focused on getting the most out of and fill in the blank, and doing it the best possible way and adjusting to get the most out of conferences, to get the most out of connections to get the most out of whatever it might be. I think that that is key to your marketing, and sales, focus and strategy. How about that for a rant? Do it pre during post, get engaged, face to face solutions? collaboration, innovation? It's all there and make it doggone fun. And entertaining. There. That's it. Kip not. I'm interested in the automated solution, right? And these vehicles that are autumn autonomous and automated and doing work. I always had the thinking that oh, what is that gonna do to dig up my floor, you got to do certain things. Give not has a great solution. Simple. You can you can tip your little toesies in the cold water and say hey, alright, here we go. We're gonna just start out small. And then that scale from there. I'm always about that incremental approach right now, especially when it comes to innovation technology. And and finding people you can trust. That's a big one. Mike, give not you can trust them. They've got the TED hardhat approval from me or industrial talk. So enjoy the conversation. Mike, welcome to industrial talk. Thank you very much for tight, finding time in your busy schedule to talk to the best listeners around the world. And that is industrial talk. How're you doing</p>
<p>09:16</p>
<p>today? Really good. Scott. Thanks for having me. Appreciate it.</p>
<p>09:20</p>
<p>I'm telling you, I'm excited about this conversation. I'm always I'm always excited about all the conversations I believe industry is is is what's going to help us get through all of this stuff, whatever this stuff is, whatever pain you're feeling, industry, whatever challenge you're dealing with people industry. There you go. That's a plug to you. Okay. All right. For the listeners out there. Give us a little background little 411 on who Mike is. Yeah, sure. So</p>
<p>09:47</p>
<p>I'm Mike Kotze. And I'm the Managing Director for kivinen canines and AGV company automated guided Vehicle Company. I've been doing automated guided vehicles for 24 years now. I'm an ATV guy. That's that's what I that's what I know. That's what I do. So yeah, so</p>
<p>10:04</p>
<p>can you I know I have to interrupt real quick, just so you've seen a change quite a bit. 24 years, I didn't know it was around that long.</p>
<p>10:13</p>
<p>So that's what's funny is actually it's been around a lot longer than that. The EGP was invented in 1954 by Arthur, Mac Barrett and Illinois. It was called the guide ematic. And he started a company called electronics. And actually, you can still see some of those units run rolling around today from the early 80s Barrett electronics. Wow, that</p>
<p>10:33</p>
<p>is pretty doggone cool. Love the history. And you're a history buff. I like that. Now, let's get into the interview. Let's get into the conversation. Okay, what's the problem? What, why is AGV? What is the problem we're trying to deal with? And what are we trying to solve?</p>
<p>10:50</p>
<p>Yeah, I mean, I just I just looked actually, before we talked, because I think there's roughly 11 million job openings in the United States right now. I think there's somewhere around 6 million people in unemployment. So I mean, you do the math, right? We're trying to get, you know, there's all these supply chain issues, right? There's, you know, workforce issues. I mean, everybody's facing it, right. So AGVs is an option right now, to automate processes, whether it's simple or complex, we're, you know, traditionally, maybe you would have had a tiger driver or a person doing it. And maybe, actually, if you're running 24/7, you would have had three or four people doing it, you know, over a week, a week span, and you can do it with AGVs, automatically. No, right. So, I mean, I think, years past, we were fighting the issue of maybe, let's say, replacing jobs, but I think right now, you know, that conversation is long gone.</p>
<p>11:45</p>
<p>And you know, what's interesting, I'm not, I'm not gonna sit there and get all political, I don't understand why. Why there's such a disconnect between unemployment and, and, and these job openings, maybe, I don't know, but people who complain about their job being automated or something going away. I mean, this is the real, this is the reality of, of what's taking place out in the market. I've got to keep my doors open. I've got to figure out a solution. I can't find people to do the job. Whatever that problem is, I've got to do something. And I like that, because that the the AGV it's not just warehouse, right. It's in manufacturing. It's one of the applications of these automated guided vehicles.</p>
<p>12:32</p>
<p>Yeah, so I mean, it's, it's, it's pretty broad. I mean, the the roots of ATVs is really strong in manufacturing, and really strong in automotive, to be honest. And I mean, that's kind of our bread and butter. I mean, we're moving, we're moving material, whether it's, you know, parts parts of a car, basically, to assemble a car, right, we're delivering, you know, headliners or years, different parts, right, you know, for you to deliver. But you know, that there is a lot in warehousing and things like that as well. Right? It really depends. I mean, there's a lot of AGV companies out there. I like I said, I've been doing ATVs a long time. You know, there's a lot of food and beverage is huge, you know, but they're specific vehicles that fit for that, right. And then warehousing, right, so you see little AMRs autonomous mobile robots, you see AGVs, automated guided vehicles, AGCs carts, there's a lot of different names for them. And they, they all kind of fit differently, right? Whether you're an E commerce with an Amr, or whether you're in a big, you know, like a, you know, a beverage company we're using, like a big forklift style AGV or, you know, kind of more what we do is, is really strong in a lot of manufacturing where we're, we're delivering the parts to line to assemble a vehicle.</p>
<p>13:46</p>
<p>Amr clarify that real quick,</p>
<p>13:48</p>
<p>yep, that's an autonomous mobile robot. And, and I've said this before, there's, there is no governor of the AGV, a Yamaha or AGC space, right. So there is overlap, but I mean, there's AMR companies typically are smaller units. There's, there's quite a few out there. That's a newer, you know, newer kind of companies technology, Kiva was one of the bigger ones in 2014. I think Amazon bought bought Kiva. And that was sort of revolutionary in terms of, you know, the technology what they were doing goods to person for E commerce and, you know, Amazon bought the company rather than continue to source from them</p>
<p>14:29</p>
<p>that night. Why not?</p>
<p>14:33</p>
<p>It also made it so that their competitors, you know, couldn't have it right. But so, you know, that's the AMR space autonomous mobile robots, and those are smaller units. And those are more goods to person, you'll see that a lot more in E commerce.</p>
<p>14:45</p>
<p>So if I'm a manufacturer, and I'm struggling, just to reality, I'm struggling to find resources. My line is being hampered. And I'm overworking the existing resources that I do have just because I have to What is the typical financial return on investment for your solution or any solutions that's associated with AGV?</p>
<p>15:12</p>
<p>Yeah, I mean, so that's, and I've seen that sir, sort of changed a little bit over the years to in terms of, you know, there used to be really strict ROI, maybe if some of the automotive companies might have like a one year payback, and that was really always difficult to to achieve. So, I mean, with the simpler solutions with the AGCs, which is more like kind of our style, like I said, automated guided carts, kind of like they're smaller units. And in manufacturing, it's, it's easier now to get a one to two year, you know, return on your investment, you know, a lot of the bigger units and things like that it's a little more difficult. And it depends, too, if you're running like 24/7, that's, we kind of always have this sort of red light, yellow light, green light. So like, if you're running one shift, and you're like a low wage rate, that's really difficult to get a payback. But if you're running, you know, three to four shifts, let's say full time 24/7, especially in high wage rate areas, it's really easy to get, you know, one to two year pay.</p>
<p>16:09</p>
<p>It's interesting. Yeah, I never thought of it that way. You're right. If you're just if you're a nine to five type of business. Yeah, no, that's it. That's a tough one. But if you're around the clock, hi, wait, that's interesting. Now, we've got carts, we've got robots, and we've got vehicles. That's what I've heard so far. Yep. Yeah. The, the question I would have, if I was evaluating whether I need to go around, down the road of automation is, do I? Do I look at my business in such a way that I can say, Okay, here's, here's my entry level I want to deal with here. But then, you know, maybe three or four years from now, I want to be up here? Is it scalable, easily scalable?</p>
<p>16:57</p>
<p>Yeah, for sure. For sure. AGVs. For me, I've always said, because I've worked at some bigger companies, where we did large $40 million integrated systems, right, and AGVs it's an entry level into automation. I mean, you can do $100,000, you know, to vehicle system and, and get into automation, that'll, you know, a low price point. And then yeah, I mean, you you can scale in terms of adding vehicles and, and expanding, and then on the software side, too, you can a lot of times, it depends on the company, you know, but you can start at sort of an A to B push button, let's say, you know, two vehicles back and forth from A to B, you can eventually, you know, maybe have a 1015 vehicle system that you're actually doing a lot more on the software side, like maybe managing the inventory, your the locations are doing some more decision making and things like that.</p>
<p>17:46</p>
<p>So just keep an eye on provide the software component.</p>
<p>17:50</p>
<p>Yeah, so our AGVs all have PLCs. Onboard, typically, which is a little unique in the industry gives a lot more flexibility. A lot of a lot of companies have industrial PCs on board. But then in terms of, you know, from the software side, like I said, you can start from just a simple push button back and forth type unit in our system, let's say and then you can kind of have maybe mid level where you're maybe managing a location or to like, you know, especially with manufacturing, like you, typically you're delivering a full, right, and then you grab the empty, right, that's, that's real typical in the industry. So, you know, the AGV system can kind of make that decision of okay, here, I dropped and so then I pick from here, next time I drop here and pick from basic right now we're starting to grow up the software a little bit. And then that can actually get all the way to where you're, you know, either interfacing or actually working like a WMS or, you know, a WBS or something like that.</p>
<p>18:47</p>
<p>Bu am as b s warehouse management, software management software, and then WBS</p>
<p>18:58</p>
<p>WBS. When execution software, I'm not a software guy, I say this all the time engineer, but yeah, that's the software side, you can really start to grow. And most companies have their own WMS already, right? Yeah. Something but so you can interface with that. That's pretty common to interface with it. And then sometimes you can kind of function as one gray as well, if it's, you know, maybe a smaller area, you know, not that many locations.</p>
<p>19:28</p>
<p>So I'm, I'm, I'm interested in the the to cart solution. And I like your price point. I'm interested in that that'll on tip in my dipping my toes into the water of automation. I say yes. Give me the time. That and I I understand it's there's a swag here but generally speaking, time to actually implementation and execution.</p>
<p>19:58</p>
<p>Yeah, so right now for our standard units for Something like that it would be around six months, which, I mean, there's a lot of supply chain issues, we're not immune to that. But, you know, our operations director did a really good job. Kind of planning ahead. And with our, with our standard units, you know, as little as six months, you know, depending on the system, I mean, you know, some units might be up to nine months for a system, some still within a year.</p>
<p>20:24</p>
<p>But do I have to? How do these units are guided on the floor?</p>
<p>20:34</p>
<p>Yes, our units are typical, our magnetic tape, which is, you know, it's it's a I don't see down and dirty technology has been around for quite a while. It's easy, it's a, it's a, it's a less expensive navigation technology, there's RFID tags on the side that kind of give it you know, sort of the decision making them slow down, go charge speed of change scanner things. But, you know, you lay the tape on the floor, we also have infrastructure free, they call it mapping. It's basically a slam technology that uses the environment as well. We have some of those units as well. But I mean, our, like I said, our bread and butter is sort of the, you know, more industrial mouse style AGVs that are running on a magnetic tape,</p>
<p>21:17</p>
<p>saying I like that I like the magnetic tape just because I, let's say, Today, my four looks like this, whatever this is, and I'm running some tape down here. And then tomorrow, I get a great contract that requires me to modify my floor, plan my layout, then I can feel comfortable knowing that it's just tape. It's not something that goes right into the concrete. And it's there forever. So it has some flexibility that I like, I'm always about flexibility, but that and I would imagine, you could say, Yeah, okay, I see your shift in your floor. So what we'll do is we'll lay this out, we'll just we'll do it this way. And so your, your implementation is quicker, too, as well.</p>
<p>22:03</p>
<p>Yeah, the tape is easy. You mean it's it's cheap. You know? Yeah, there's, there's other companies I worked at that use it as well. I mean, it's, you can put protective cover on it, you can epoxy, it becomes a little more permanent that point. But yes, I mean, you can in, you know, on demand, you can sort of lay tape and like, make a why and make it turn this way. I mean, it's, uh, you know, I've seen it many, many times, you know, it's really easy to modify. It's Hot Wheels. Yeah, sure, you can change the tracks change the track, I see my six year old daughter do it, Claire, she's on track.</p>
<p>22:37</p>
<p>I wanted to go around this now. Exactly. Which is not bad. It's not a bad idea. I like that. And it allows me to get my my foot in the door of automation, and see the value the benefits. And and see from an I'm a firm believer that if you're not in the game, and you're not thinking about it, you don't know the questions to ask you don't know what you're trying to use the technology for. So get in the game, I see that that is, is a vital component. Now, there's always roadblocks I get it. I can automate. That's great. I'm dealing with some resource challenges. Yes, that's reality of it. But what are the roadblocks? What are we talking about? What What prevents people from going that way?</p>
<p>23:20</p>
<p>Yeah, so we always try to identify those early too, right. So it, it can be an issue. So I always recommend people to get their IT group involved early because that can be a roadblock if they don't want you to VPN in or be on the network, different things like that. So if you're a company that's, you know, trying to implement AGVs definitely get your IT people on board early, let them know what you're doing. That always helps safety is another big one, right? So if you've got a big safety department group, they need to know, you know, if they don't know about AGVs, if you have an enemy for them, you know, that's a lot of times a stumbling block. If, if you've got a big safety crew, and they've already, you know, you've got multiple sites with ATVs, it's a lot easier. So you definitely want to get safety involved as well. I mean, those are the other issues.</p>
<p>24:04</p>
<p>What are the safety concerns? I have to pull on that string? What is that?</p>
<p>24:08</p>
<p>Yeah, safety is huge. I mean, safety for ATVs is huge. And I mean, and there has been a ton of developments over the years to make them safer and safer and safer. The safety spec that basically governs AGVs and CB 56.5 That's that's the main safety spec. It I don't want to say it's sort of a minimal safety spec. I mean, it kind of it still makes vehicle safe and solution safe. But there's responsibility on both parts. It's not just the AGV company has responsibility that the company implementing the AGVs has their own responsibility as well. Whether to train the operators how to be around and put put signs up things like that. They have some they have a lot of responsibilities. Yeah, come on.</p>
<p>24:55</p>
<p>I mean, I get it and you're in the business. The AGV companies are in a bit have definitely delivering a solution to a problem. And if if safety is a challenge, you're gonna, you're gonna build it in there, you're gonna have to, you're gonna have to figure that out, or nobody's gonna use your product. And people are getting run over by your, your, your product, nobody will like that. No better. Sure. So I do like that. So we've got it issues. How many times I have that conversation? roadblocks, it just happens all the time. Okay. Yeah, you're not immune to it either. It sounds to me that it's important to get the sort of leadership involved to say, this is where we need to go, this is the strategic direction we are heading. And this is why it's important. And then as probably deals with a lot of the other internal resistance to be able to, you know, deploy the solution.</p>
<p>25:59</p>
<p>Yeah, yeah, you got, I mean, it depends to a bigger company, when corporate let's say, has a plan to put AGVs in, it goes down to the plant level, you still got to get plant level buy in right, either, you know, from the operations managers and the plant manager, people, it's, I've seen it, I've seen struggles a little bit where there's sort of a corporate mandate, right? Nobody likes, you know, at the plant level to hear that if they're not worried. So, no, but it is it does definitely help to have executive sponsorship, especially executives and corporate people that have had experience with them, let's say from another company, right? And they're rolling into a different company bringing their expertise and say, Hey, this is what we did. You know? So</p>
<p>26:36</p>
<p>I'll tell you one, one word, Amazon, Amazon's all in. If Amazon's all in and I know that I use Amazon, you need to consider doing the same thing. You need to figure this out. If they're in. They've got a competitive advantage. It's, it's obvious. Yeah. So you know, make it happen. All right. So what we have is we've got sort of a six month for a simple type of solution. We're looking at cards. Is it scalable? Yes. And I just, I love the I love the approach. Now. Just remember, we've got a couple of issues that have to be addressed. That's it, as well as safety. But I think that that those are two issues that can be overcome. And just remember, once again, Amazon, all right, my academy people get a hold of you insane. This is cool conversation. I want to get a hold of Mike.</p>
<p>27:27</p>
<p>Yeah, for sure. For sure. So you can find me on LinkedIn for sure. Kip nine, you can find us Kip nine.com. And you can follow Kevin on USA on Twitter.</p>
<p>27:36</p>
<p>All right, that's Mike Kotzen. That's coyote Zian. KYV, non ki V and O. N is the company. Once again, LinkedIn. God bless me. Because you can always find their stat card out somebody stat card out there, get a little flavor, find the website can do all of that. All right. That was an excellent conversation there. Mike. Appreciate your time.</p>
<p>28:04</p>
<p>Awesome, Scott. I can always talk AGVs</p>
<p>28:09</p>
<p>See, I think it's so cool. I don't know, man. It's a it's a it's an odd time. I mean, I I can geek out. I'm a fan of Discovery Channel and, and Smithsonian channel, and they do all of that garbage.</p>
<p>28:22</p>
<p>I love that. And I always like being able to talk to somebody about it besides my wife cuz she's tired of hearing about it. So yeah, I hear Yeah. Hey, did you know that we could do it here?</p>
<p>28:34</p>
<p>I'm going Oh, cool. All right. Thank you, Mike. All right, listeners. We're not we're gonna have all the links and contact information for from Mike out on industrial talk.com. So stay tuned. We will be right back.</p>

<p>On this episode of industrial talk, we're talking to Stan Schneider Real Time Innovations or RTI, about autonomy, the technology that is needed to encourage and to facilitate autonomy, you need to listen to this podcast. Let's get going.</p>
<p>00:20</p>
<p>Welcome to the industrial talk podcast with Scott Mackenzie. Scott is a passionate industry professional dedicated to transferring cutting edge industry focused innovations and trends while highlighting the men and women who keep the world moving. So put on your hardhat, grab your work boots, and let's go,</p>
<p>00:38</p>
<p>alright, let the celebration continue on industrial talk. This is where we highlight and celebrate you industrial professionals all around the world. Because you're bold, you're brave, you dare greatly innovate like nobody's business, you're solving problems, you're keenly focused on that. And you're making my life and the lives of many around the world. Yeah, you take that to the bank. As mentioned, we are talking to Stan Schneider, CEO of RTI, and we're going to be talking autonomy. But there's, there's this whole level of innovation that is needed. So let's get cracking.</p>
<p>01:18</p>
<p>Be like it or not, it is here to stay. You better be in the game, you better find your trusted innovation team to give you the give you the lowdown on what is taking place in industry, what is happening in industry, from an innovation and technology perspective, because it is necessary for you to create that business of resilience, that career of resilience. And I can't I mean, the conversations that I have all the time is how do I how do I, as a company, leverage innovation, leverage technology, to help my business, be better in the future, whatever it might be, get greater value out of my assets, whatever that is, that conversation happens all the time. And the only way that I can give you guidance on this is you got to find trusted, advisors trusted, because there's a lot of buzz out there. There's a lot of noise out there on innovation. So Stan, yeah, you can definitely trust that gent, and you can trust the people at RTI. Alright, couple of things, before we get into the conversation that I want you to put on your calendar. All right, we need to get back to normal, right? Whatever that is, whatever that next normal is, let's, let's lean on each other, to be able to do that. Let's have that, you know, that ecosystem of people driving to get back to normal, whatever it might be, I want you to put this event, this wonderful event on your calendar. It is of course, the IoT solutions World Congress, and it is May 10, to the 12th. It's in Barcelona. And I've been very fortunate to be there at a couple of times. And it is a spec tacular event. And it is Chet I mean, you're you're tripping over people who have just mad skills. And it is a great, great venue, to collaborate, to network to get the most and solve problems and find the individuals or find the companies that can definitely answer those questions trusted, right. And that's what we're all about. Now, I'm going to also just sort of just encourage you, you need to be a part of the industrial talk ecosystem. What does that mean, Scott? Well, it is, of course, an entertainment platform, but an industrial entertainment platform that brings out the human side of all of these incredible leaders, industrial leaders. But the best part about it is that you get to collaborate, and you get to connect with people who are just all bent on solving problems, and helping each other achieve whatever success they're trying to achieve. Over the years, I've had a number of conversations as you are well aware. And the conversations always, always, it's never really the technology. It's always the human side. Who can I work with? Who can I collaborate? Who can I trust with? Who can I do? Who can who can who can I? Those are always the questions, always the topic, because everybody, everybody wants their business to succeed their career to succeed, who do I collaborate with, to make sure that that happens? So I'm going to challenge you on these conferences. There's a ton out there, you, man, you go out to this website called 10 times.com 10 times s put an S on that and you'll see All of the events around the world incredible website, by the way, and but the reality is, is that what are we doing? What are we doing to get the most out of these events for your company, for solving problems, and I'm going to just share with you how we approach these conferences outside of the fact that we broadcast Yes, one. And that is just a great way of being able to get the attention that you so desire and deserve, right. So we broadcast live at these events, it's fun, it has nothing short of fun. And then we create this video, and the video is fun. And it highlights all of the wonderful things that are happening at the event and the energy. And it just is a great, great combination. one two punch on how to get that attention to you so deserve but the reality is, is that Gone are the days that we just go to a conference, drank great bourbon and eat great food and and Yuk it up with many people, it could still happen. But I think we have to be far more pinpoint focused on why are we there? How does it impact our bottom line? What is the return on our efforts, right. And so you have to think, think in a way of being able to say, Okay, I'm going to IoT solutions World Congress, there's a pre pre activity, right pre, then there's during, and then there's post, I break it up in those areas, if the pre activity includes I need, I need to schedule schedule, firm connections with my existing customers and my quality or whatever quality connections, I'm going to do that. And that requires a lot of pre work a lot of work upfront. Because when you get to that location, when you get to that site, when you get to the event, you're ready to go, you're ready to roll, you're ready to have that conversation on how your solution, your focus, your, your whatever it is, can help solve problems. And then you fill it up. And then you just keep because the reality is, we could go out to LinkedIn and say, Okay, I'm just going to try to find some quality leads out there. And it's just the cost. But the reality at these events, these events that bring everybody together, they're all there, face to face, human interaction is key, get the most out of it. Okay, so you go to the event, you're on a podcast, you're talking about the subject matter you're talking about, you've already done your pre work, you're out there, now you're, you're doing your stuff right there, you're broadcasting, it's great, you're getting a value added, you know, asset right there. And then. And then the real goal, real rubber is is that you follow up, you nurture, you have to keep at it, you got to you've got to continue to nurture the relationships, listen to what is being said, what are the problems that are being communicated? How does your solution Listen, how your solution could solve problems and be able to have that conversation. But the best part, and the most important part is that you're desperate, you're focused on that individual success, right? It's keenly focused, I want that individual, that company to succeed. To do that, too. You've got to open doors for that customer to it's not only just saying, Hey, we got a great solution. Here it is. It's wonderful. And it could be that right. But I want a relationship. And I know many water relationships that go beyond that. It's like, Hey, I hear what you have to say, I know our solution is good. But I'm destined and focused on your success. And therefore, therefore, I'm going to introduce you to this particular individual. And you make that introduction, you're part of the solution. Talk about Goodwill, talk about the way to collaborate. And I'm telling you right now, trusted individuals, important solutions, innovation important. But the reality is, you don't have all the answers. And that means you need to collaborate. And the more you collaborate, the more you have that conversation, you will succeed. And you'd have to succeed because you're that important. You are, you're just that important. All right. Let's get on with Stan Schneider. So I was very fortunate to be able to interview Stan at IoT solutions World Congress in Barcelona, great guy, and you'll quickly recognize that he's definitely smarter than me. He is. He's got a real sense of honesty, and a desire to truly solve problems. So as we start talking about trusted people, Stan is one of them. And if you're looking and if you're trying to say, okay, autonomy is an important component to my business, and I can't send us data to the cloud, I need something that is right there. So that there's this quick, quick response. Like, let's put it this way. Automobiles. Yes, you need quick response. Stan knows all that. His team RTI knows all that. And I think that you need to reach out Schneider CEO, real time innovations. They just go by RTI. That's the website. So enjoy the conversation with Stan. Stan, welcome to industrial talk. Thank you very much for finding time in your busy schedule to talk to the best. And I mean, the best and the well educated listeners that industry has on industrial talk. How are you doing there, Stan?</p>
<p>10:48</p>
<p>Great.</p>
<p>10:50</p>
<p>The last time we spoke it was in Barcelona. And again, I think I shared with you prior to this conversation that I can't even remember that. I feel like I had hair that that time. Well, it's I'm so glad that you said yes. And you and and the reason we're doing this is one absolutely want to know what's what's happening at RTI, what's happening with standard, what's all of that that's all important. And also, we need to talk about getting our life back in order and whatever that looks like from the IoT solutions World Congress. Before we get all into that, give us a little background, Stan on who you are.</p>
<p>11:26</p>
<p>Hi, I'm Steve Schneider, I run a company called Real Time innovations, RTI, we are a software framework provider for autonomy are the largest in the market by a pretty good margin, we build a software that allows you to put together intelligent distributed systems outside of the cloud. So people think AI is everywhere. It's really not it's mostly in the cloud. And we are trying to enable the real world to be more intelligent by taking smarts and letting them run outside clouds. So</p>
<p>12:03</p>
<p>so I don't have to go to the cloud with your with your solution.</p>
<p>12:07</p>
<p>Now we use things like you know, we call it autonomy. Everybody says you say autonomy, right? Things vehicles, and we are in 250, autonomous vehicle designs of an amazing variety of things. But</p>
<p>12:21</p>
<p>I gotta ask the question, is it really going to happen? Well, will the future just have autonomous vehicles where I could just jump in, get on an autonomous vehicle or my car will be autonomous? Will that ever happen? I mean, really?</p>
<p>12:37</p>
<p>Well, sure, autonomous vehicles are everywhere. Now you probably don't realize that, you know, we started out doing flying things. Lots of autonomous flying things, much easier problem but jumping in his car and dry as soon as you get the, the, you know, bio prejudice out of your head that people are better drivers and computers, you can do that. I started my career crashing cars for a living. So did you really? I did? Yeah. University of Michigan. I was a biomechanics impact.</p>
<p>13:14</p>
<p>Researcher. Yeah, the first one? Just FYI. I don't know, Benny, you're the first one. Congratulations.</p>
<p>13:21</p>
<p>He said I was so I was very excited about that is a long time ago. But you know, back then, we were working on things like, you know, smarter airbags, multistage airbags and Side Impact Protection Systems and crumple zones and crushable steering columns and child seats and wheelchair restraints, and on and on and on. We have all of those things now and more along with you know, stuff like any blood brakes and electronic stability control and any drunk driving laws. And back when I was there, I was all excited because 45,000 people a year in the US were dying in car crashes.</p>
<p>13:58</p>
<p>See, that's pretty cool. We take it for granted out right? We just do. We,</p>
<p>14:03</p>
<p>the sad part is that today, right? I mean, pre pandemic, I suppose there were still 40,009 year kind of crashes. So from a safety perspective, you know, we're driving more miles so it's better per mile. But you know, we couldn't even run tests more than 35 miles an hour. It's just too much energy above that. And I don't believe you can ever make cars safe without fixing the number one safety problem in cars, which is you</p>
<p>14:34</p>
<p>well, maybe pre pandemic but postponed or right now during pandemic I never tried so</p>
<p>14:39</p>
<p>yeah. changed a lot of things but I I do think that you know, at least from a statistical point of view, our task will many locate merit, many environments will be better than non autonomous to go through it soon. And it's a you know, The computers will make mistakes you would never make, you know, they'll they'll, some of the famous ones will mistake a truck for a sign making go under something like that. But you make mistakes that computer and ever make falling asleep and</p>
<p>15:15</p>
<p>driving drunk. And personally, I think it's going to map out,</p>
<p>15:19</p>
<p>you know, everybody, everybody's done that they shouldn't do that. And it's just, yeah, so I do think there will be a time when man in place, you know, it's not going to be everywhere immediately. The autonomous vehicles are coming and they will be safer.</p>
<p>15:37</p>
<p>See, I'm all into it. And and, and I'm, I'm very bullish on it. I think it is definitely going to happen. Yeah, it seems sort of, you know, Logan's Run ish, I guess future. But the reality is, is people smart people like you are making it happen and thinking through it. And it, it just gets better. And so, Michael, my my hope is that all I have to do is jump in I don't have to drive, and I'm safer. And I have to deal with traffic either. I could just sort of sit back and you know, hang out. Alright, let's talk a little bit about IoT. In our conversation prior to this conversation. I thought this was absolutely brilliant. And and listeners agree or disagree. Don't send me a text. I don't want to hear it. IoT. IoT is poorly defined. And I agree with you 100% on that one, because it's, it's like the miscellaneous file, right? Yeah. So I tore through the internet of things. And it's like, things and give us a Why do you say that?</p>
<p>16:42</p>
<p>Well, everything, by definition is a thing. That's very everything. So Internet of Things doesn't really mean much of anything, except that everything has a computer in it. And everything is connected, and awful hard to name anything, they won't have a computer and be connected and just a very few years. 2030 years out there. I mean, computers are increasing in performance and decreasing in costs of this stunning rate. I went to the University of Michigan, I remember going to football games, it'd be a stadium with 100,000 people in it. 100,000 people and you just feel like this little thing, right with this huge press of intelligence around you and humanity. Well, computers increase in performance 100,000 times every 25 years. So when I was a little thing in that stadium, I imagined that entire stadiums available for the computing, I have today, in 25 years from now we'll have 100,000 stadiums, a factor of 10 billion, no more than 10 billion 10 billion in 40 years. So it's it's more than than</p>
<p>17:53</p>
<p>But it's it's even even that timeframe. It's compressing even faster there is there's a philosophy out there. By the way, that's bucket list stuff for me. I want to go up to Ann Arbor, I want to be in that stadium, just just to see it. Because it's it's perfectly shaped. It's like perfect bowl. I like it. Alright. Yeah, I digress.</p>
<p>18:15</p>
<p>10 billion action 50 years, it's just it's, it's hard to understand that it really is the only thing that matters, you're building a system that has to last for the next 3050 years, even 20 years. It really is the only thing you should be thinking as the only factor that matters is how do you take advantage of intelligence, which people don't people don't get today. But I do think the IoT is really pretty much divided into three huge I call them spheres, buckets, whatever you want to call them. There's the device monitoring bucket, which is most of the consumer world in a lot of industrial world to is where you have a device, and it talks to a single cloud service. It may be lots of devices, but it's just, you know, one cloud service since I think like your Nest thermostats or your Fitbits.</p>
<p>19:11</p>
<p>Right here, baby.</p>
<p>19:12</p>
<p>Right, exactly. It's connected to a single cloud service, and it can monitor and control things. In the industrial space, you'll hear about, you know, predictive maintenance and things like that where it's monitoring device. That's one class another class. That's probably the biggest class by the way, good. Sort of the easiest in a lot of ways. The other class is optimization, intelligent optimization, where you sensor eyes, a factory or pipeline and you collect a whole bunch of data and you get it up to the cloud. You think about it. And you use that to optimize the system, typically not very real time. Maybe only optimizer once a month, you're going to change how you manufacture something or what you manufacture based on market or something huge class a lot of the big platforms out</p>
<p>20:04</p>
<p>there, isn't it? Hold it before I forget, isn't there an overlap between the device? And then the Intel optimization? You need a bunch of devices to create that? Intelligent operations? Right?</p>
<p>20:15</p>
<p>Yeah, but it's not I don't know if any strong statement, of course, there's overlap everything, it's everything,</p>
<p>20:22</p>
<p>right? Things</p>
<p>20:25</p>
<p>are things I don't know very many device monitoring things that are also integrated in where they're trying to control and activate devices. That's integrated in with a big data collection AI for more many, many different types of devices. Maybe there are it's I'm sure there are actually take that back. It's not. It's not a huge thing. It's not really my world anyway, my world we live in the edge autonomy world third big sphere, where, instead of having the intelligence in the cloud, the cloud might be a player, but the real intelligence needs to be in the edge in the field, where it's running a car, or a medical robot, or power system, or a defense system, or radar or something, you have to have high performance, high reliability, you could never really count on. I would never, you know, safety research, I would never delegate my safety to anything off vehicle. It's just too many too many failure modes.</p>
<p>21:25</p>
<p>So so the edge as a whole is is there's a there's a speed, right? So I have everything sort of there at the site. Right? If I sent that information to the cloud, there's a there's a latency is that is that the benefit of this?</p>
<p>21:43</p>
<p>That's a benefit. Reliability is probably a bigger benefit. The ability to handle lots of high performance can activities another benefit. You know, you just it depends on the application you're trying to do. But the real, the real benefits to having intelligence there with you as you can make sure it's always available, make sure it's always fast, make sure it's connected in the right way. And we sell connectivity technology that says data centric, and I can explain that if you want.</p>
<p>22:22</p>
<p>Yeah, I do. Because well, you're just, you're just full of interesting jargon, that I have no idea what you're talking,</p>
<p>22:28</p>
<p>right. Well, I mean, I mean, trying to make it as simple as possible. In the intelligence world data is everything, right? So data in the cloud is the reason Facebook and Google have such a good map of you is I got lots of data about you. And you know, data is everything, everybody, everybody sort of gets that today. But in the cloud, you have, you know, to make a model of you at Facebook, I've got these months, years decades, to figure out stuff about you and connectivity between you. If you want to make a data centric model of an intelligent vehicle that's moving, the world changes every millisecond or every several milliseconds anyway. And so you have to, it becomes not about the data itself. What about the data flow, getting the right data to the right place at the right time, right, please might be an AI, or an intelligent algorithm that has to have enough data about its surroundings to make decisions. And those decisions happen have to happen in 20 milliseconds, not 20 weeks. And so it's the same concept as it is the data centric cloud world. It's just now really more about data flow that is about the data itself, you have to get the right data that you</p>
<p>23:54</p>
<p>provide it, can I say that there are different avenues of data. Like sometimes data could go into the cloud, because I don't need it right now. I mean, it's goes up there, it's fine as a, but then there, there's data that has to reside on premise, or in the edge or whatever. So that I, I have the necessity to or have the capability of accessing it, or it delivers insights rapidly. Or there are other avenues like that. Not everyone has to be at the edge.</p>
<p>24:28</p>
<p>No, it's definitely there's always layers. Like there's an architecture called the layer data bus, which is a good example of that where you have a go something inside the vehicle, the car people and people get cars more than other things, even though it's only a small part of the opportunity out there. But you know, cars have Lidar is in radars and Video Intelligence and other kinds of sensors and actuators that has to run and that that environment has a very high speed data flow rate. requirements to get the right information to the right intelligence the right time. So you can make decisions. You know, if you're, if you're not in the car, if you're some control center, something that's monitoring 50,000 cars, you might want to know things that are derived from that car, like where the cars are, how fast they're moving, whether they have people in them or not, whether they have some maintenance problem, if there's somebody stuck, what do you do, if you have an autonomous vehicle, it's stuck in a construction zone, you can't really drive anybody there. But I'm actually on the board of an organization called the tele operations Consortium. Not that I think you can delegate safety to a remote operator, you can certainly delegate getting unstuck, to remote on prayer. And that is another layer of different kinds of data. They don't necessarily need direct access to the LIDAR cloud, but they may well need direct access to the video to see what's going on. And then there's a you know, another layer even above that, where you're going to optimize the use of your vehicles and decide whether you're going to deploy them all to Northeastern Phoenix, or, you know, even take some out of that market, or what kind of vehicles might be more effective, or who pays the most money. And the certain kinds of things you do in the cloud today, which is really becoming more of an optimization tells you an optimization problem. So those things are all mixed together.</p>
<p>26:22</p>
<p>How? Oh, great, this is what you know, you've just started, you tripped a lot happening in that little segment, you trip connectivity, this that do this, but I don't even know where to start and tell you</p>
<p>26:37</p>
<p>where to start. Talk to me. Start with the data, start simple start with the systems do I need out of this system, data is coming out of the LiDAR, what data is coming out of the operators or whatever. And they try to build a system designed around the system as components, like object oriented designs that are really designing around objects, which are almost always mapped to physical things. If you instead just turn it all around, it's a complete, I have a great slide where I show an upside down picture of a lake in the forest look, nice reflection, it looks okay. But there's something wrong. You flip it over and everything sort of changed. If you just think about what data do I have, what data do I need? It's why it's called data centric. You start with a data, and then you can build the components around that data, everything gets very much</p>
<p>27:42</p>
<p>easier to deal with. See, I like that I</p>
<p>27:44</p>
<p>like that much harder than you think to actually do that. But</p>
<p>27:47</p>
<p>yeah, because if I saw a, you know, this big old cauldron of data, right, and swirling around, I even have a hard time figuring out that, is that data? Do I want that one? That what that what does that bring? Right? That requires some skilled eyeballs. It's not my eyeballs, it's somebody else's eyeballs. But to do that, I like the fact that you have the data. And if that data is allows you to be a better, you know, make better decisions, then yeah, you might. And then, then if that's the case, then yeah, okay, let's design something around that. And I guess my</p>
<p>28:24</p>
<p>Go ahead. My favorite architecture diagram has exactly two boxes. It has the application, whatever it is, you're doing, yeah. And then, you know, at almost any level, and then inside that there's another box that says data. And what data Centricity does is logically makes it look like all the data in the entire system, this could be this 50,000, vehicle, cars and all their lidars and all their you know speeds and motor currents or whatever are all logically available, any application that asks for it. With the right call quality of service, like delivery requirements, the security and all that kind of thing. It makes it way easier to write applications, and way easier to do things like make a mobile if the, if the application can just request its data and I need it, you know, maybe I need it with 100 milliseconds delay. That's the latency you're talking about. An ad guy, I know how big it is. And I know all that kind of thing. If I can meet that spec, I can be on the vehicle I can be in some controller on the vehicle, I can be in the cloud, I can have the vehicle drive around and change networks it doesn't matter because my applications only dependent on the data. It just makes it way simpler design. It's a it's a definitely a leap of faith in your thinking as a designer to think about the data first because for most people, it's it's</p>
<p>29:56</p>
<p>and there's there's a lot of companies out there that have been collected data they just have data data, I've got data, and then they they deployed these systems, but they really do not take advantage of that data for point of clarification. Stan, you mentioned it a couple of times for some of the individuals that don't know, can you define LIDAR? What does that mean?</p>
<p>30:18</p>
<p>Lidar is basically Laser Ranging LIDAR shines, a laser usually scans. So think of it doing that. And it's, it's measuring how far away each of those scan points are. So just like your old fashioned CRT monitor would scan the screen and draw a picture, it's doing almost the inverse is scanning an environment and giving you 3d distances, everything in the environment, and they can be pretty fast, and they can be very accurate. But of course, you pay money for both of those features. You can have cheap ones that just do one line basically, will give you some idea.</p>
<p>31:02</p>
<p>But everything else is the price is coming down,</p>
<p>31:05</p>
<p>right? You see him sitting around me, the mechanical ones spinning around on the top of vehicles, those are relatively high end, ones that are may have a lot of ability to get a lot of lines. And they they get a new update every time they spin around. There's some fancier ones that are all solid state that use phased arrays and things like that to change where the where the lasers scanning. It's cheaper, it's not as accurate. Can be faster someday it'll be fast and cheap. Faster, better, cheaper, right, choose any two.</p>
<p>31:39</p>
<p>Yes, but but but it's gonna happen. And I agree with you on that one. It just is because they're smart people like you and others that are that are going to make that happen. And I mean, the future's bold. From my perspective, I wish I was younger, just but you've been doing it for looking at your stack card out there. 17 years, you've been? You've been leading the way for a long time.</p>
<p>32:05</p>
<p>I mean, you've seen the data centric world since Yeah. So yeah, it's been a while. It's a it's an exciting space right now. It just is. We see it everywhere. Yeah. Medical and, you know, we read,</p>
<p>32:25</p>
<p>I'm reading this book, and it talks about technology convergence, I don't have it in front of me. So I'm not going to spout the title of it. But it's, it's that convergence. And then people like you can see other technologies that that are going out there. And you're saying, Hey, I could use that that helped me here and it, and you put it all together, and it just creates a more I don't know a better solution going forward. It's really nice to</p>
<p>32:52</p>
<p>at least sell integration technology. So I'm 100% behind integration is the hard part, I find a bigger blocker out there. And that bigger blockers just flat out confusion.</p>
<p>33:07</p>
<p>And I'm the president of that fan club, because I try. But it's you're right there. There's a lot of confusion out there. But</p>
<p>33:16</p>
<p>we have I mean, there's an alphabet work activity space, there's an alphabet soup kind of activity technologies out there. And everybody, they all use the same kinds of words. They send data, they're latency, they have throughput they have and in reality, they're just completely different. There is different is trains are from tennis shoes. Yes, they're both transportation technologies. You can't interchange them. And so we actually have a we have an online tool if I can login to that comm. And you can answer a bunch of questions. And it'll tell you at least which standards are somewhat appropriate to your world. See, that's cool. We did that originally to stop people from calling us with problems? We can't so.</p>
<p>34:07</p>
<p>So let's create a tool. And yeah, we could solve that. No,</p>
<p>34:10</p>
<p>yeah. Well, we want to talk to the people that will fit, I can ask you five questions and tell you if you're gonna buy our product. And there's simple things like if you said the word millisecond in the last two weeks Do you have more than 10 programmers? They aren't like, you know, give me your design specs. They're just very simple things that you can ask people to find out if you're even in the right Galaxy</p>
<p>34:37</p>
<p>seat. I think that there's a necessity. And I like the simplicity of that approach. I think that there, there tends to be a greater amount of complexity that doesn't need to be there, which then creates greater confusion. So if there's any way of being able to simplify that message, I'm all in because I guarantee you the majority of People? Well, let's put it that way. I'm definitely not a target market. But I like to see what's gonna</p>
<p>35:07</p>
<p>kind of kill you have a nice little online tool, the AIC did a great piece of work called the industrial Connectivity Framework that has all these. It's like 130, dense pages of PDF, I would not expect most people to read but we sort of distill that down in just a few questions that direct people where to go if they're looking at MQ, TT or Kafka or DDS or what say,</p>
<p>35:33</p>
<p>that's a Moscow</p>
<p>35:36</p>
<p>is all automated. And we're not trying to sell anything, we're actually trying to direct people to go to the right way. So we don't deal with the ones that are going the wrong way.</p>
<p>35:46</p>
<p>He mentioned I consortium.org are in industry IoT Consortium. There's a there's a new rebranding out there. And I'm, I'm struggling with the new branding of it. It's in industry IoT Consortium. That's a mouthful, but they got a lot of smart people</p>
<p>36:04</p>
<p>founded or co founded the IoT solutions World Congress.</p>
<p>36:08</p>
<p>Look at you segue again, if this whole RTI thing doesn't work out, you've got a a great and beautiful future in podcasting there, Stan. So tell tell us why. Tell us why IoT solutions? WorldCom.</p>
<p>36:23</p>
<p>That's a disaster.</p>
<p>36:27</p>
<p>Yeah, wow. Very go. Disaster. Don't compete with me. Let me ask why. What? Why is IoT solutions World Congress important to you?</p>
<p>36:38</p>
<p>Um, well, it's been evolving with everything else. This year's plan I love their reorganizing around technology, yes, classes instead of other things they've tried in the past. I think that's really useful. It's, you know, our my company sells into a dozen verticals. So organizing my vertical doesn't help us at all. But we sell a very narrow value proposition, right, we saw only the people answer our five questions. Clearly, way easier if you're going there to get an idea of the components, you know, connectivity and security. And they're, they're all almost obviously somewhat related. You can't have conductivity without security, for instance. Yeah. But it's so much easier to understand the thing and remember, the number one blocker out there is confusion. If you've divided it up into the server component, technologies, people get it better that way. And there's companies like, you know, we have a security solution to but we we will be in the conductivity section, because that's really we have security that works with our kind of that kind of activity that they don't sell a security solution. We just have one that goes with our stuff, which is more common.</p>
<p>38:03</p>
<p>Yeah. See, it's interesting, and you bring up a good point there. One, there are companies out there that are reluctant to true, you know, we do we make our things this way, this is how we have been doing it forever. And that's, that says sort of legacy mindset. And that's fine. I believe that if you are a company that has a desire to be successful in the future, your journey, your strategy, your strategic thinking has to include all of this, this wonderful innovation such as what RTI does, the other area that I think is necessary, if you say that is a fact that is a reality, it got to participate. Then events like IoT solutions, World Congress, and the people that go there is a great resource to start learning and begin your journey. And to find trusted people like Stan. How's that? Did I did I nail it, Stan?</p>
<p>39:05</p>
<p>Yes, pretty good. For you, you know,</p>
<p>39:09</p>
<p>hey, my big game today their stamp be game now my game?</p>
<p>39:14</p>
<p>Definitely. You know, in general, most people go to things like this to understand the world. Confusion is the biggest blocker. The confused mind says no. And, you know, it's a big risk. I mean, our average customers probably spending a couple 100 million dollars building this new intelligent system. And obviously some of them you know, the famous ones like the Eevee autonomous vehicle, they just vehicle design, spending multiple billions of dollars in a decade and to go into that without understanding what's going on is, you know, is not going to happen. So it's it's a good thing. least to go and see how others work and some people are afraid it's all vendors. Well, vendors know what they're doing. I hate to say it, but we've we failed. We've got 2000 applications out there. We failed hundreds of times in that right. And we've learned a lot and we definitely have some ways to help people think about their problems. It's different.</p>
<p>40:23</p>
<p>All right, we got to wrap it up. How does somebody get a hold of Stan and RTI and why that's important outside of the fact that if you're contemplating this, I think you need to at least go to it's rti.com.</p>
<p>40:34</p>
<p>Right. rti.com Easiest URL there is out there</p>
<p>40:38</p>
<p>I can remember it</p>
<p>40:42</p>
<p>will tell you a whole story around now. Um, yeah. Glen, RJ comm you can learn all about the company. You want to connect with me the best place on LinkedIn, just go to LinkedIn for stationery. There's a lot of standard nighters in the world, unfortunately, but yeah. Close to the space.</p>
<p>41:00</p>
<p>Yeah. So you asked that listeners go to Stan Snyder. Put a little comment there, RTI. You'll see it go t greenery, Ana's header, quote, yeah, that that's the Stan, reach</p>
<p>41:18</p>
<p>30 unique LinkedIn page is all a bunch of stories. So yeah, if you like stories, you can go there and read about why we did the company. And that's cool. See why I left my, my Stanford</p>
<p>41:32</p>
<p>academic careers is getting ready. I said, you got a little PhD at Stanford.</p>
<p>41:37</p>
<p>Yeah, a PhD from Stanford. And I left I left academia because essentially, I figured out 95% of academicians are working on problems that simply don't exist. Which I mean, that's not a dig at research, because after 5% changes the world, but if you're in research, you got about a 95% chance of doing nothing useful.</p>
<p>42:02</p>
<p>That's a whole other conversation that would frustrate the hell out of me.</p>
<p>42:06</p>
<p>Yeah, it's it's frustrating in a company. If you do nothing useful. You fail and you get to go do something else. Yeah. Nursing, you can claim you're leaving for decades. And next thing not being having any followers. That's a</p>
<p>42:21</p>
<p>whole nother conversation. It's like digging a ditch and filling it back in.</p>
<p>42:27</p>
<p>To get me in trouble with my academic track against it at all. It's just it's a tough game. Yeah.</p>
<p>42:35</p>
<p>It is. Running a company to be fair, but to be fair, I agree with you. 100%. I've been there done that. And, yes. Don't Don't be squiffy about running a company. You've got to. That's a that's a whole nother conversation.</p>
<p>42:53</p>
<p>You say the word slipping.</p>
<p>42:54</p>
<p>I could say squiffy. You want to put it out on a bumper sticker. You could say squeaky No, no, no, no, no, no, it's it's good now. You get you get it's like, squiffy today, I can't believe it. I got that from a movie. I can't remember where but they are. So I'm squiffy. Wow, is it</p>
<p>43:22</p>
<p>yeah hard working fast paced enthusiastic person who works in a restaurant or bar</p>
<p>43:32</p>
<p>Stan, thank you very much for being on industrial talk and saying yes to something today. squiffy run away have a good time on that one. All right. Thank you, Stan for being here. Great. All right. They're not</p>
<p>43:51</p>
<p>I do end up traveling anywhere. Let me know. I'll hang out with you.</p>
<p>43:56</p>
<p>Yeah, let's see. Hi, beer factor with Stan. You want to hang out with him? You want to have a beer with your factor. Hi. All right. We're gonna wrap it up on the other side. Do not go away. We will be right back.</p>
<p>44:09</p>
<p>You're listening to the industrial talk Podcast Network.</p>
<p>44:18</p>
<p>All right, that Stan? Absolutely incredible conversation, Team RTI. They are focused on your success and you definitely could trust them. Reach out, go out to Stan Schneider's stat card out on LinkedIn reach out and connect. You're not going to be disappointed. All right, again.

<p>On this episode of industrial talk, we were on site at the 29th annual s MRP conference. And if you weren't there, you missed a lot. So put it on your calendar for the 30th annual SMRP conference. Well already be this year. And you know, we were talking about in this interview, we're talking about innovation, we're talking about the deployment of technology, when it impacts supply chain from one of the leading companies in the world. Let's get cracking.</p>
<p>00:33</p>
<p>Welcome to the industrial talk podcast with Scott Mackenzie. Scott is a passionate industry professional dedicated to transferring cutting edge industry focused innovations and trends while highlighting the men and women who keep the world moving. So put on your hardhat, grab your work boots, and let's go</p>
<p>00:51</p>
<p>right welcome to industrial talk. Thank you very much for joining the number one industrial related podcasts in the universe. And I don't think I'm overselling that one bit. We are once again broadcasting from the 29th annual SMRP conference. We're trying to get our, I guess world back in order. And this is sort of a collection of the best maintenance and reliability professionals around the world. It is that important. And it's a great venue here in St. Louis. And we get to talk to some of the best that I mean, I'm just it's, it's, I'm all giddy because of it. That's what it's all about. And, and we couldn't make this happen. If it wasn't for Accruent. And Fluke Reliability. You got to go out to Accruent. I'm looking at their website right now. And it says solutions, real estate facilities and asset management. It's right there. I'm looking at it right now, gaining insights to transform how your organization manages its physical resources. You can't argue with that. And then of course, I go out to fluke, and you know, the color Fluke has got the big app there. And it's got that classic, gold yellow fluke, and this is what's interesting. You go out there, they break down the barriers between data systems, data systems, and teams by aggregating everything into one place. Yeah, that's dead sexy. I'm all into it. Absolutely. Wonderful. Okay, we're gonna be talking to Amazon. We're gonna be talking with a gentleman by the name of Jeremy. Good, and he is good. But you never heard that before. No,</p>
<p>02:19</p>
<p>never great. Only good.</p>
<p>02:23</p>
<p>Jeremy spectacular. All right, Jeremy. Welcome. How you doing, man?</p>
<p>02:29</p>
<p>Good, good.</p>
<p>02:31</p>
<p>Well, I like that. I like that. Good. Good. All right, double. So anyway, you're here, in at the conference, give us a little background on who you are, and why you're such an incredible professional. And then we're going to venture into what you talked about here at this conference. All right.</p>
<p>02:45</p>
<p>Well, I've got a lot of years of experience. I started off with Chrysler. Actually Chrysler back then,</p>
<p>02:55</p>
<p>I was gonna say in the new saw the acquisition of Fiat, right.</p>
<p>02:59</p>
<p>I saw lots of acquisitions, the merger of equals with Daimler. Oh, yeah. And then then we went to Chrysler Group and then a private equity had us for a little bit we almost went bankrupt. I remember that merger with fiyat. And now the merger with KSA with Atlantis. A lot of and I know after a while we were doing the merger was still Lanta so</p>
<p>03:21</p>
<p>it was funny, because there's just a lot of drama there. Remember that? It was just like, oh, another thing? Oh, another challenge? Oh, yes. Yeah,</p>
<p>03:28</p>
<p>Yeah. Look it. And we had good products. I mean, Jeep Dodge.</p>
<p>03:33</p>
<p>Oh, yeah. No, nobody's gonna debate that. I mean, it was just a lot of drama going on over there was, but look at you. You got a smile on your face. You. You survived. That's right now you're with Amazon.</p>
<p>03:42</p>
<p>Now I am. What do you do? So I am a maintenance Summit, regional manager for maintenance and reliability. So I have a the southwest region right now. And this week, it's gonna be announced that I get a little bit broader responsibility. When I'll have a third of North America for the large fulfillment, the ARS the Yeah, Amazon robotics centers near the large fulfillment.</p>
<p>04:11</p>
<p>Yeah, he's doing robotics. And of course, that's, that's cool, right?</p>
<p>04:16</p>
<p>Well imagine a site with eight to 10,000 robots. And really, yeah, that moves anywhere from 600,000 up to a little over a million packages per day.</p>
<p>04:28</p>
<p>And all the facilities are one facet. What and each one of those is that the type of commerce that is taking place? It's amazing. It's a hell of a stat.</p>
<p>04:37</p>
<p>Yes, it is. And so you think of cell towers is very similar to that. So you as a customer, so their goal is to give you a package in two hours or less. That's where we want to be okay. And in order to do that, you have multiple fulfillment centers strategically located To where if one site is down, another one can then do the fulfillment for that package, roughly.</p>
<p>05:06</p>
<p>And again, you're throwing out a lot of stuff here. But you're saying two hours, two hours or less that I'm on, I'm on your side, I order a home, you know, whatever widget, right? Whatever it might be. When that that process starts, you're trying to fulfill it in, in and in two hours.</p>
<p>05:27</p>
<p>Correct. So if you when you push that button, within the first 12 hours, say within the first five minutes, Amazon already knows what fulfillment center is the least expensive for them to bring that package to you. within that time frame that you have, if you have Amazon Prime, if you're on the coast right now, there, I think there are six sites that can guarantee within six hours of when you order, the little trivia see is the fastest is 12 minutes. From the time somebody pushed the button and was delivered,</p>
<p>06:05</p>
<p>you know, you understand the problem here. You guys are establishing a an expectation. And you're constantly pushing that from, from a consumer perspective, I have an expectation that I'm going to get that product. And I'm going to get that product relatively quick. And I'm not going to wait. And and that is a heck of an expectation. And I think you're disrupting logistics as a whole.</p>
<p>06:35</p>
<p>It's not a bad thing that's meeting the customers.</p>
<p>06:39</p>
<p>And I'm telling you, I love it. Don't get me wrong, man. I'm I'm all big into. Yeah, I need that. I need that. And you make it easy. That's right, you make it easy to get that widget, I don't have to sit there and struggle to find a widget that's there I go there Heck of a business model.</p>
<p>06:57</p>
<p>And that's because we're focused on the customer.</p>
<p>07:02</p>
<p>Yeah, no, no, note that because that is a very important component associated with any business, right? It is, you got it, you gotta focus on the customer, don't focus on yourself, provide what the customer needs solution, right? Solve that problem. Right? Now, all of a sudden, you're just screwing up everything just because my expectations are off through the roof. Now, let's talk a little bit about why you're here the SMRP. Tell us a little bit about the topic that you were discussing, so that you can share with the individuals.</p>
<p>07:29</p>
<p>Yeah, so we talked about challenging the norms. So we have so much technology now that we're losing sight of some of the basics. And without the basics to build upon. The technology starts to unravel.</p>
<p>07:48</p>
<p>Okay, you're gonna have to expand, what are the basics,</p>
<p>07:51</p>
<p>so the basics being knowing and understanding your equipment, seeing how it's the essentials, what we call within Amazon, essential skills, crafts. So knowing that how a bearing performs, knowing what the wear characteristics of different components of, of the equipment, how a motor runs, how, how the equipment at a, at a basic level, whether it's rollers, whether it's pulley shafts, gear ratios, whether it's a gearbox, how those things all work together, and no, no, that not have data just being fed to you saying, hey, the problems over here, and you need to go fix it. If you don't understand the why behind it, then when things change, you end up getting into more more problems. And we're talking about letting, letting software now software and technology have its place, there are tools, but there are tools that need to be grown upon, off of the basics and off of knowing and understanding those basics</p>
<p>09:03</p>
<p>is a part of the basics. The the human element. I mean,</p>
<p>09:10</p>
<p>I mean it is it is and it's it's so probably one of the best tools that break things down to the basic is a filmmaker failure mode with the criticality on how you how you do the maintenance to maintain that the empowerment, so but it is it there there the skills of of what the individual has, when you walk by a motor and you it's using your senses, smell, hearing, even taste is one of the senses. So how is that piece of equipment performing? And I'll tell you one of the examples when you look at a good site to a great site, so you want to go to something where you're running 99% 99.9999% uptime yeah The sites that are different, and that differentiate them are the ones that have those skill sets and do things like critical walks, where they're walking through the critical piece of equipment and seeing the different components and where they're at. And from a health standpoint, and then doing things proactively before they fail.</p>
<p>10:22</p>
<p>Yeah, because yeah, it does. Because your obligation, your fundamental driver is fulfilling that order in two hours or less. That's it correct. And that does not leave room for any, you know, reactive situation where something was breaking broke down, right?</p>
<p>10:38</p>
<p>Correct. On critical equipment there is there are redundancies built in sites.</p>
<p>10:43</p>
<p>If you notice my note down here, I get a little word that says redundancy and might not spell it right. But it does say redundancy, I was gonna ask that question. So when you start talking about critical critical equipment, do you from a criticality perspective? Do you create a redundancy? inventory that looks like you're here? No.</p>
<p>11:02</p>
<p>So Amazon does not build whip in different areas work in process or inventory, right? To help cushion that that those are ways? So right,</p>
<p>11:14</p>
<p>right? Because they are, don't get me wrong. I</p>
<p>11:16</p>
<p>mean, and when you're moving that much product, you've got to look at the equipment and say, okay, the things that are critical to our operation, need to be well known and understood. And the maintenance plan for that, including a lot of machine learning. And a lot of data points are average, I mean, we're five to 10,000 data points in one site coming in feeding information to us on the health of that piece of equipment and how it's performing. And are there other things that we need to be looking at from it, whether it's heat vibration,</p>
<p>11:52</p>
<p>so that's a that's a Iot, right? That's an IoT solution, data collection going someplace. And then there's this the analytics behind that that says, hey, this is just garbage. This is noisy data and noisy data, whatever data you don't worry about that data. But here in this little swim lane here, these this is the these are the data's that that data's is can I say data's there's a gentleman out there that I know real well, and he's a good guy. And I'm sorry, because we're alive. I see how No, don't even don't point way does take time. Anyway. So yeah, and then if you're saying, hey, something's out of parameter or whatever, in this, whatever, analytics, this algorithm, then it notifies</p>
<p>12:40</p>
<p>and notifies and let you know that there's something wrong. Yeah. The thing is, you have to go back and look at the why behind it. Because if you do act on that, and you don't see a result, or you don't see an effect of that, and you need to understand the why behind it.</p>
<p>12:57</p>
<p>But why have the failure? The why of the problem? Why? What would like what, what's that? Why?</p>
<p>13:01</p>
<p>Yes, it is, it's, it's all inclusive, right? You want to know why it failed. So so because</p>
<p>13:09</p>
<p>you don't use for example, with just pencil whipping and then and then just sort of sit there and, and, okay, it's fixed now, but you never understood the why. And it could happen again,</p>
<p>13:17</p>
<p>well, we understand we know enough of the equipment, and how it performs. That it's not the exception, it's not the normal things for the equipment that that catches us off guard. It's the human intervention beforehand, bringing product in that, for example, a bunch of magnets, and they break loose, because they're not box properly. And I got magnets on a conveyor that's going 400 feet per minute, or feet per second. And with diverters, and all kinds of stuff on it, and it just doesn't perform because it's got magnets stuck everywhere. So it's those things like that, that create the, the event that you need to understand. Okay, so now, we need to package this differently. We need to do this differently to make sure that it doesn't happen again.</p>
<p>14:09</p>
<p>Walk us through that process. So you sit there and you clearly you're you're trying to understand the why. Fantastic, that's really important. Where does that go? I mean, that's, that's a human conversation. So</p>
<p>14:22</p>
<p>that goes back into the systems on the inputs. So and we have, there's a term that they use on a product description that shows this product can be packaged only this way, this way or this way. And it needs to be have this much density around it or whatever to protect, really, and then it goes through. So you may not realize there's a lot of those things from the lessons learned. So, we know we have this failure. So now the product cannot be packaged this way the way it was that it failed. Now it can only be package this way and this way.</p>
<p>15:02</p>
<p>So let's say let's say on packaging, I'm the packaging person I'm trying to fulfill this order, then it comes, it comes in on a screen, right? And and I look at and it's magnets will just keep on running with that analogy. So it's magnets. And then I get from from, from whatever interface direction on</p>
<p>15:23</p>
<p>only package in this box, but this material packing material with this tape, and I mean, it lights up for them. So that tells you intuitively exactly what you do and what sequence and</p>
<p>15:37</p>
<p>so so what if it's a new product, whether it's like, okay, Amazon, your process a lot, don't get me wrong, I don't know, if you've, it's like trying to find a domain name. Does it even exist out there? Like all domain names? It? What if it's a new product? So then</p>
<p>15:54</p>
<p>it's tested? In different variations on Bob, really everything else? Yeah, there are some standards that it'll come in at just because of package, right. And there's less expensive packaging, to more expensive packaging as well. So you start with the less expensive, try to make it as reliable as you can, and you work your way up to the more expensive if you need it. So there is a there is a method and a science to everything.</p>
<p>16:22</p>
<p>Yeah, a guy that likes process. Me, I love that I always I was always process something out. This is exciting and giddy. For me. I just think it's, it's the coolest thing since sliced bread. Eventually, I would imagine that Amazon's gonna have put a some sort of monitor in my head. And I don't even have to go to the website. I could just sort of say, I need potato chips. And there it is. And it's like, Oh, it's right there.</p>
<p>16:50</p>
<p>Yeah, we look at your buying habits. So we can have it show up exactly when you do it. But he chips every Sunday afternoon.</p>
<p>16:59</p>
<p>But you do. Yeah. Yeah. Because I do. Yes. And it's it's very effective. Very, very effective. I didn't know I needed those things. But at that particular time, I did. And thank goodness that was right there for me to Yeah. Hey, consider these. Yes. All right. The the last final question I have is where do you see all this going? I mean, that's pretty doggone you're, you're constantly. I mean, every day, every day, every day, you're you're making it more efficient. You're always trying to figure out more better, faster, the Steve Austin approach, right? Where do you see it going? I mean, is there a point of diminishing returns? Or is just sort of That's it. That's life. Well, Amazon's</p>
<p>17:47</p>
<p>extremely innovative. So you will see new markets being developed. So right now we're delivering packages. Pretty soon it's going to be delivering food, fresh food. It could be technology in the home. I mean, it's gonna go go go.</p>
<p>18:14</p>
<p>For somebody that's just founded on impatience. That's me. I am impatient. Amazon is absolutely. Yeah, it's for me. Oh, my gosh, I'm so glad that you. I mean, this is a this is a great conversation. It's pretty cool. Yeah, I didn't mean it. I just I had there's so much more I, I want on my bucket list. I want to just tour one of those facilities just to say it. Absolutely. Look at I know somebody. That's right. And as I stare at you, creepy, but stare at you, nonetheless. How do people get a hold of you? They're saying, Hey, I like what he's talking about. Jeremy is a great guy. He's good. But he's really fantastic. How do I get ahold of</p>
<p>18:54</p>
<p>my email is probably the best good jr@amazon.com All right.</p>
<p>18:59</p>
<p>Once again, I just want to say thank you very much for being on the industrial talk podcast because you were absolutely wonderful. All right, listeners. We're broadcasting from the 29th annual SMRP conference here in St. Louis. It's fantastic. It's got a collection of the best maintenance reliability professionals known to man or woman or people, whatever.

<p>02:32</p>
<p>you. Absolutely. We are. Thanks for being here. By the way.</p>
<p>02:35</p>
<p>Are you kidding? I mean, I couldn't. I didn't sleep. Well. Last night. I was gonna I was gonna lie and say I was here last night, which I was and was able to tootle around which is great. I didn't. I didn't. My expectation was well, it was an expectation. But it's your past in a bit. Like, like, way above if you're out on video. I'm going above the camera right there.</p>
<p>02:58</p>
<p>Wow. Thank you for that. That's awesome. It is it's pretty cool. Come on you blow people's necks. Just blow this blow their socks. So</p>

<p>03:17</p>
<p>Well, listen, I couldn't, couldn't be more excited about being here. I'm Jerry goatee. I work at EY. So the love of my life. This place is also a labor of love. By the way, the white Nottingham Spirk innovation hub. been with the firm for 31 years. I've done a lot of exciting things. But nothing more impactful and rewarding than this place. I mean, this place is about helping companies grow. I know you're trying to get a question. I mean, oh,</p>
<p>03:39</p>
<p>no, no, I'm breathing. Yeah, I'm breathing. That's I'm, I'm I'm geeking out on this conversation. I'm just breathing out. Don't mind me.</p>
<p>03:48</p>
<p>Yeah. Okay, Scott, just jump in anytime you like. You know, so what, what's unique about this place, you know, there's a whole bunch of place you can go to and industrials and manufacturing go to and, and, you know, have see client experience centers see innovation hubs, see innovation centers, all kinds of names, right. But what's unique about this place, and you can be inspired by the way you can be inspired, there's all kinds of cool places, all kinds of toys, I call them candy stores, right? All these whiz bang technologies. We have we have that. Okay. And we want people to see that.</p>
<p>04:22</p>
<p>However, you have a lot of, we have a lot of</p>
<p>04:25</p>
<p>a lot of, you know, what's really unique about this place. If I go back to real life client experiences we've had is we have that but then we can actually take a real client issue. And we can then go as I like to say, we go down the basement actually make make stuff we can actually make physical stuff and make digital stuff. That's what's really unique about this, right? It's one thing to go be inspired and have to go back to your real world and say, Oh, great, but I don't have that. And I have this I use this technology. None of that works. It's another to come here and say, Oh, wow, they have all these digital applications. And that's actually on SAP. We have SAP here Wow, that's on PTC, we have PTC. And oh, by the way, we have a hodgepodge of technologies here just like all of our clients. And downstairs, we kind of have a brownfield and upstairs here we're kind of talking about new and a Greenfield. So we have all those different different, you know,</p>
<p>05:17</p>
<p>when When, when, when we arrived, the rotunda, it's, it's, it's big it is, and it does take your breath away. So you're saying, Okay, what is this place out? So there's the rotunda, you go, wow, it is different. And then you take the journey down, and then you just keep on going down. And and what it's like 60 60,000 square feet. 66,000 square 66,000 Square feet. Wow. Yes. Of just innovation of just</p>
<p>05:46</p>
<p>Yeah, real. Real. Yeah. Real meat, authentic. I call it authentic innovation, because you can actually see real outcomes like wow, this actually got innovated, put quotes around it here. And here's the real product, they got created a real digital app they got created. And here's the 18 month journey that got us there. Yeah. That's why everybody loves people love the stories, the physical space is great. But then the real life stories, the outcomes and how we got there, that's what people want to know.</p>
<p>06:11</p>
<p>See. And what's interesting, this is what, what I realized here, and I've had a number of conversation is it's not a slam on anybody. Please, please, please, please don't come texting me or whatever. It is the fact that it Israel, you see tangible results. You see, the solutions. You see, it's right here right now. It's not vaporware. It's not interesting thinking, right? It's it's real. Exactly. And the process is solid of how you get it from that idea, all the way through to the market. And then do it again.</p>
<p>06:48</p>
<p>Exactly over and over and over again for and I'm sure Mr. Nottingham bragged a bit about 95%. I always do it over under you know how many times he typically says it over understand normally how many times he said it.</p>
<p>07:01</p>
<p>But again, another way to bring</p>
<p>07:04</p>
<p>that helicopter in it probably so it's for you. Right? Probably. So you're that big</p>
<p>07:07</p>
<p>of a deal. Going to get Yeah, yeah. No, he he said 95. Yeah. And then he also said, the 5% is what? What does he say with about the 5%? Well,</p>
<p>07:18</p>
<p>5% is what typically, that's that's what company success rate typically is for r&d, right? Billions n and if 5% successful, the other 95 is not</p>
<p>07:26</p>
<p>but the success of what now, you know, Nottingham's work, and why what is being delivered here is that you take it from cradle to grave. Exactly. And that is that's the secret sauce. It is the secret sauce. Because there's a lot of challenges. It's one thing to say, Hey, I got a mic. It's great mic, fine. But how do you do it? How do you make it? How do you how do you scale it? What do you get? How do you get it out to the market? Right? How do you source it? All of that stuff is impressive. It is very impressive. Why is it important for you? And why to be here?</p>
<p>07:59</p>
<p>What's the future? Right, this is we're looking forward. And that's what's cool about this place. You know, a lot of folks, you know, obviously for a long time, 100 years plus Ey has been phenomenal at doing audit doing tax work. You know, doing diligence work, financial work, we continue to love that business and bring a lot of value create a lot of value for clients. This place is about looking more forward, right. It's about what's your next frontier of growth? What's our next frontier of growth? How are we going to help companies to you know, take that next? You know, take take, take the next hill right, the next? What's their next big agenda, if you will. And that's why we're so excited about this place is, as I shared with you earlier, I think we're off off, off camera Off mic, if you will, is chatting we just chit chatting so why sir? Where were we so excited about it? Trains dollars being spent every year? Lot of it some depend on what you read? Yeah, 80 to 90% of it actually isn't creating the result that people are expecting. So what it is at me look at, I can even share with data sources there. It's a huge number. So something's not working right now. There's some additional insight needs to be brought to the table new way of doing new way of thinking. And that's what this place allows you to do create a chi i like to call it concept to market, right? You know, from a great idea all the way through to designing it all the way to engineering to prototyping, but but again, now we're adding to it is this connectivity element, right? And data, you know, what's the importance of data as it relates to a new concept and a new product and a new, you name it piece of equipment, you know, what role should data play? And then once I have that data, I can't tell you how many clients have said, Hey, we're all in on connectivity. We've spent a bunch of money, we've added greater connectivity or products. We know what we can't charge for it. We're not making any we're not we're not actually getting any value. We've added that element of connectivity, but we haven't adapted our business model yet. to actually benefit from it, many organizations are struggling with as well. So you can come here, you also can take that business model, you know, challenge on as well, there's so many different things that you can do across the spectrum.</p>
<p>10:12</p>
<p>And we spoke about this offline. There, there is a need for companies to be engaged. That's one to, to my challenge is to find that trusted resource to say, I have all this data, I got a data I'm collecting data, Leila data, it's a tsunami of data. Yeah. But I have no idea how that data is going to bring me value to make my business better. And my bottom line, right. But you could theoretically, theoretically, you could come here physically, and have a conversation and say, this is the data. Yeah, I got this manufacturer amount, blah, blah. But whatever the story is, yes. And be able to have that conversation with you.</p>
<p>10:48</p>
<p>Yeah, more than a conversation, we can actually show you some live use cases on how we sort of solved it. For other companies. And similar with similar situations, right? It's really, you know, show me something, right. I mean, I got lots of folks that tell me and talk to me and tell me why data is great, and what they can do for me. But here you can actually come, we can likely pull up three or four very specific use cases are on point and say, here's the here's the journey that we took this client on. Here's, here's here were the pain points. Here's the problems we're trying to solve. And here's the outcome. And here's how we got there's the process that we used. That's what's different.</p>
<p>11:22</p>
<p>It's real. It's real. And I do like that. Now, let's talk a little bit about COVID. Right? I believe me personally, I could be completely wrong, and I'd feel comfortable being wrong. Anyway, pre COVID. We were bringing our became maybe our C game. We talked a lot about digital transformation. We said yeah, that seems like it's great. COVID hits. It's a slap upside the head, no doubt about it. I believe that COVID has created a more collaborative environment because people are searching for solutions. Yeah, we got the bad stuff. But I'm not talking about that. But I think the good stuff is like, I got to come to a Jerry and say, Jerry, I need help. Yes. And I have to have this conversation. I'm not sitting here with my, you know, cards close to my vest. And I'm not, no, I'm willing to collaborate. I'm willing to venture into the innovation space. So that's what I think.</p>
<p>12:19</p>
<p>Oh, absolutely. We're seeing it over and over again. Because if you're not doing it, your competitor is right. Yeah. I mean, yeah, you know, I would say a lot of progress, you know, has been made, and had to be made. I mean, you think about you think it's something right now we're on video, but, you know, a lot of times where zoom, we're on teams. Yeah, I mean, I think about just simple stuff, like pre COVID. Very few of our calls, global calls that we had as a team, or our meetings with our clients would have been video. Now all of a sudden, they're all video. And oh, by the way, when you decide you're going to do a phone call, and you don't get on video, everyone's like, where's Jerry? Why is it Jerry on video? It's think about, like how quickly it happened. Right? Right. And like when you want to, you know, get your, you know, whatever it might be your burrito in the evening, you know, now you go on the app, and you order that burrito, you don't think twice about, I'm going to go pick it up, they're going to deliver and I'm going to walk into the restaurant, it's all gonna be, you know, me touches. Well, the same thing for manufacturers, right? I mean, now, if you think back, you know, when this whole thing got started, people were scared to death of having third parties into their operations onto the shop floor. That's true. Right. And so what had to happen? Well, we had to start thinking about remote, you know, doing in servicing? And you're in the maintenance, right? Yeah, how do we actually start to do remote maintenance, right. And one way to do that is through digital connect, and getting getting more connected, right?</p>
<p>13:43</p>
<p>Edge cloud, you got IoT, whatever it might be. It's, it's transformative. And what I see and what's interesting in when we talk about maintenance space, is that we get to the point where the data, I'm collecting data, the data is it has knowledge in it right? And I'm gonna, I'm gonna analyze that data through whatever parameters or whatever AI, whatever that tool is, and then be able to say, hey, there's a trend that's taking place on that asset, it's remote, bring this, that and the other thing just because, well, that's what you need to bring, because that's what the failure mode say, Go on out there. And it's so efficient. And so your, your asset uptime, through data analytics is is improved, because that thing's not going to fail. Because it's notifying you, you get out there and maintain it. Boom, backup. Amen. Amen. And that's it. That's across the board with manufacturing in general. Absolutely. greater capacity and so on and so forth. Yeah, absolutely. Where do you see it going? Where do I see it go? Where do you see it going? greater adoption. What what I mean, it's still there's a lot of people thinking that it's it's it's more buzzword ish. Yeah. Hey, digital twin. Hey, cloud. Hey, clouds, a little bit more able to sort of like yeah, I say pictures to the cloud. They get that I got that right. But it edge IoT data analytics AI may Where do you see all of that going? Is it going to be real?</p>
<p>15:06</p>
<p>Absolutely. I'll just tell you we've had, you know, at this point, we probably had 25 to 30 companies. And granted, we just launched, you know, two and a half weeks ago, but we did a lot of pre launch activity. Right. And I can talk about it. Oh, great, wonderful.</p>
<p>15:22</p>
<p>He doesn't go ahead but you go right ahead and ride his coattails because Yeah, well, hotel</p>
<p>15:26</p>
<p>is a good is a good hotel. And I'll tell you that, that every, every company that came in here was was was talking about disrupt disruption. Okay, now we're gonna get the digital. Yeah, yeah. But it all it all sort of starts with disruption. Right. So I can't tell you and since we're talking about industrials, and manufacturers, which I love, at least half of them said, hey, my product portfolio hasn't changed in 50 years. Many of them said, for the most part, we make this this product, it hasn't changed in 40 or 50 years. But oh my now I look at electrification and the impact it's going to have, depending upon what you know, where you are in the supply chain, right, many of the big industrials are tied to you know, combustion engines, some form or fashion, right? When you look at ESG, and you look at sustainability, you look at their products, they're thinking, Oh, my, you know, this is real, this is going to happen, we're gonna have to rethink impact we're having on the environment. It's not just a, you know, a lot of you know bantering, it's it's happening and products are changing. And regulations are changing, right? Yeah, there's like one thing after another, almost every industry has something incredibly disruptive, that is right in front of them. And because of that, they're saying, Okay, we have to think differently. And I love the saying of it's, it's more about why not versus why. So it's, it's, you know, why can't we go do that? Why shouldn't we go do that, as opposed to for the last 40 years, it's like, hold on a second, we got a good thing going, why we need to change this. So</p>
<p>16:58</p>
<p>that that that speaks to the culture you're absolutely spot on. And there has to be that shift in culture that shift in thinking yes, to be able to begin to embrace this, whatever this is.</p>
<p>17:09</p>
<p>Exactly. Exactly, exactly. And then if, you know, I'm sure Mr. Nottingham talked about the customer, right? So you know, who is the customer, it's a customer, it's a consumer, it's, you know, it's a it's a distributor, it's a wholesaler, it's, you know, especially in this b2b world, all of that is in major disruptive situation right now, right? Everyone's trying to they're trying to get closer to customers? And how are they going to get closer to customers or getting closer customers by having their products be more connected? Yeah, right. And in spot and, and, and once you have that, if you think about that's worked with the membrane, that's where it starts, now of a sudden, you understand the products got to be smarter, they got to be more connected, they're going to be providing more insights. Now, all of a sudden, I got, I got more informed more intelligence, as you said earlier, and then that's going to be that's going to drive smarter supply chains, right, I can see social media, you know, someone big, and a movie star, or someone is touting some particular product, and I haven't I have I have, I'm in the supply chain of that product. You know, in today's world, what happens? The product goes nuts, everything sells off the shelf. And a month later, you know, everybody becomes</p>
<p>18:15</p>
<p>a supply chain expert, because they can't get that dog gone. Toilet paper?</p>
<p>18:20</p>
<p>Like, where's it gone?</p>
<p>18:24</p>
<p>Now, if you have the ability to see, okay, hold on a second, we're actually, you know, monitoring what's happening, all these all these different, you know, sources, not just the equipment, yes. But social media. Yeah, everything else. Now, all of a sudden, I know something's coming, I can get ahead of it. And I can start producing it ahead of time. And I can take full advantage of that opportunity. So you know, that insights from products, obviously going to drive a much more improved operation, and our ecosystem of partners. That's another that's a whole nother, as we get into all the way down to the shop floor, right? And making sure that I'm utilizing that capacity in the best way possible. So is it going to happen absolutely is going to happen. It's going to happen faster than we could ever imagine. So with</p>
<p>19:05</p>
<p>that said, how do you how do you consult or work with a client that is seeing this out there? Yes. You just rattled off? Oh, just the world is changing. We like it or not. Where do I start? Yeah. Well, that's quite like, what's my first step? What? Can I incrementally go through this process? Like, it's like there's a low hanging fruit?</p>
<p>19:27</p>
<p>Yeah, absolutely. You can. I mean, there's, you know, the first thing you need to do. We have, we call it the digital transformation playbook. And it's okay. And it starts with, you know, assessing sort of what what your current maturity is, seeing where you have gaps, and understanding, you know, where might we plug in some of these digital capabilities to close some of these gaps that we have today. It's almost like you and I think we were off. We were offline or today I said, many organizations will say, digitize and solved anything for me. Right. Okay. And then as soon as you say, Okay, well give me what is the biggest thing that needs us off? And they'll describe something to me. And I'm like, okay, great. That's here's the digital application that would solve that. All of a sudden, they're thinking about digital a whole new way. Okay. Now, again, there's some foundational elements you need to have, yeah, Dane, that no doubt about it. But I think the best place to start is, what are the biggest problems that you have today? And are there digital capabilities that we could leverage today to solve those those bigger biggest issues you have? And then from there, that becomes a platform toward a broader transformation?</p>
<p>20:41</p>
<p>Yeah, and I don't know how you can. I mean, we talk specifically many people talk about the resource challenges. Right, and and how do I get people? Yes, in my organization, to do what I need to do. And that is, from my perspective, there is a need to be able to market and recognize that digital transformation. What we see here in action, yes. is really a wonderful career. A Absolutely. And and it's not just your dirty jobs, whatever it is, it is a spectacular career. You're and I I think that that has to also be a part of that. Absolutely. It's hand in hand. It's,</p>
<p>21:23</p>
<p>yeah, there's a talent agenda. There's also a leadership agenda, too, right? That goes along with it. Yes, yes. So So everyone's quick to say, hey, there's not enough talent. But</p>
<p>21:32</p>
<p>you bring up another point that has to be addressed.</p>
<p>21:36</p>
<p>I always say there's this huge gulf between the 38th floor and the shop floor. There's a lot more sort of capabilities. Many companies actually invested in the shop floor and a lot of these technologies we're talking about, but this translation to how does it show up in the p&l? Or how's it going to show up in my finished? Yeah, that hasn't met that hasn't hasn't happened yet. Jerry, how</p>
<p>21:56</p>
<p>do they get ahold of you?</p>
<p>21:58</p>
<p>They call me. They can call me.</p>

<p>22:03</p>
<p>the time, I'm here. I'm here. Seven days a week.</p>
<p>22:08</p>
<p>Wow, you are committed. You are a digital committed guy. Man, I'm telling you. This is exciting. Yes. I wish I was you wish I had your hair, which I don't have hair. Everybody knows I have no cap on. I do it because well, it's a personal issue. Anyway, you were absolutely wonderful. Thank you very much for being on industrial talk listeners.

And he is one of Nottingham sorry, he's not the Nottingham sorry. Let's get cracking. HEY, this is fantastic. Like, I'm telling you, listener, listeners, you need to put this on your bucket list. Big time. Can Can people just come in and see this place?</p>
<p>01:40</p>
<p>By LIDAR? No.</p>
<p>01:42</p>
<p>Well, do I know somebody that can make that happen?</p>
<p>01:44</p>
<p>I promise.</p>
<p>01:47</p>
<p>So contact me and I'll be able to open doors because this is a spectacular, and I mean, spectacular location. For the listeners. Let's just level set real quick here, John, just give us a little I mean, clearly, it's a bigger conversation, but just give us a little background on who you are.</p>
<p>02:05</p>
<p>Well, my partner John Spirk and I graduated from design school, and we both got fortune 500 job offers my parents were so proud. And we turned it down.</p>
<p>02:20</p>
<p>Then your parents are saying what we found</p>
<p>02:23</p>
<p>a garage. And we started an innovation company and our parents said, What are you doing? What is that? We did it? And I never looked back?</p>
<p>02:34</p>
<p>See? So the question is why? I mean, that's not conventional thinking, John, it is not. It's not it. And I guarantee you, your parents are saying we need to what, what you just graduated, and that's a heck of a school. Yeah.</p>
<p>02:49</p>
<p>But But we wanted to do something different. You know, we wanted to do something big. And we had to start small.</p>
<p>02:58</p>
<p>Right? And by the way, if you're listening, that's a helicopter flying over cut, top of us disregard John's more important than that helicopter. So let's listen to John there. But why? What was that inside of you that said, hey, I want to do something because you come here today? Yeah. I mean, you've seen the whole journey. You come here today. It's impressive. Nothing less, nothing short of impressive. Why at that particular time, did you guys say I'm going to go to I'm going to go a different direction?</p>
<p>03:25</p>
<p>Well, we've always created, we were always, we're always building things, always designing things, always innovating things. And graduating, we just kept going. We just kept finding companies that wanted to go on a journey. And create something and and grow.</p>
<p>03:45</p>
<p>See, this is interesting. I had a conversation with a gentleman and and what stuck out and you guys live it here. Yeah, this is what's interesting. You think of the end user, you think of that person over here, that you're going to be designing something here. And you're going to say, hey, I want to solve a problem. I want to deliver something. I want to I want them to get a user experience, whatever that is. That that was was that a typical thinking at the time?</p>
<p>04:15</p>
<p>Yes. So every I don't care what business you're in. You have a customer, right? Yes. Yeah. So</p>
<p>04:24</p>
<p>you, let's put it that way. Yes. Or it's a hobby. So</p>
<p>04:28</p>
<p>the fortune 500 Number one CEO came to visit us. Ask Doug McMillon, CEO of Walmart, and I and he's going around our innovation center. Well describe our innovation center. Oh, yeah. Oh, absolutely. And I said Doug here, you know, you're the number one CEO in the world, largest company in the world. He says, You know, John, if I don't deliver to my customer she wants I'm done. I need innovation. I need something to make her say, Wow, okay, yeah. John, that's your job. I said, Your I</p>
<p>05:10</p>
<p>see this is interesting. Now I can I can rattle off all of the challenges of the pandemic. Yes. And they're out there got it understand. One of the things that I believe as a positive is the, the the need for businesses to collaborate to solve problems to figure out solutions. And one of the things that popped out is the power of that customer. All of a sudden, I can't get my products. And everybody's a supply chain. Expert. And and it's, it's an interesting realization of how important that customer is. And if you're not pinpoint focused on their needs, you're missing the mark,</p>
<p>05:54</p>
<p>part of our secret sauce. And it's so simple. And it's amazing how many people don't do it blows me away with my client partners, I say I want to know your customer. I want your customer inside our Innovation Center, inside our focus room, behind our two way mirror, I want you to see this the twinkle in their eye. I want to see the body language. They may not even say something, but I want you to see your customer. What are you putting your customers now, all of a sudden, now you have a pandemic? HEY, your your your customers freaked out? What are you going to do about it? Here's opportunity. Say every problem. Every every problem that I see is an innovation invention in disguise. Now, yeah, you'll say, I've got rehab 13 150 issued atoms that we have created co created with our with our client partners. 13 150.</p>
<p>06:55</p>
<p>That's, that's, that's spectacular. I don't have one.</p>
<p>06:59</p>
<p>There we go. So you know what? To get a patent, so simple. It's so no, no,</p>
<p>07:06</p>
<p>no, no, no, no, no, you're soft pedaling, because. Okay,</p>
<p>07:10</p>
<p>go ahead. I'm gonna give you this thing. There's only one criteria for a patent. patent claim. It has to be ready for this. Okay. On obvious. That's it. I'm serious. It doesn't it's it's not a good idea. It's not a great solution. It's if it's obvious, it doesn't get a patent. It only gets a patent if it's not obvious. That's it.</p>
<p>07:39</p>
<p>Okay, so I'm wandering the halls here, right? Yeah. And you've got example after example, after victory after victory of just displays. Yes. All excited. It's like, yes, yes. I just I'm dazzled right back. There was one in there. And when you have that definition, it's the baby cradle one, right? Yes. Come on. That's obvious. No, no, it isn't.</p>
<p>08:02</p>
<p>Hold on, hold on. You want to know if the patent is? Yes, please. Okay. It's easy to do a bassinet, right. Right there. Okay. Our client wanted to stick out. So we had to do something on obvious. So okay, what do I do? I have my customer come in a mother. She's gonna have a baby. What are some of the issues that are happening? So we look at the trends and there's one trend that mothers are co sleeping with their babies in their bed? That's not a good, a good idea. But I'm not gonna argue it. That's my customer talking. So what did I do? I did a bassinet that is swiveled on to the bottom Hold on a second. Hold on a second. Hold on. It's brought to the mother's bed. And the side has a spring and the mother can cradle and CO sleep with her baby in her bed and the baby is is comforted and safe. Now listen to this. So we so we got a patent on it. Right? An obvious yes, it's Las Vegas to the juvenile furniture show right? At the end of the show, they have an award for number one innovation at show. Guess which one didn't bang go okay. If you or your significant other is going to a baby shower wants a big deal. Maybe gift. It's the Bassen nest bass and nest an obvious Oh, this thing is the number one bassinet in the country because it's on obvious see.</p>
<p>09:48</p>
<p>So I'm walking by and I see it and then I realize it's like no kidding. Are you kidding me? This is amazing. Yeah, it is. Yeah. So okay, so as we as we venture in so here's the deal. Alright, so I come to you, I'm a business, I'm going, Okay, God, I need your help. You're going to go and you're going to look at my customer, whatever it is like, what do they need? And you're going to have a conversation. It's real. It's like, what are you looking for? What's what's going on? What's your pain, whatever, you</p>
<p>10:13</p>
<p>know, I say, Be careful what you wish for, because it will come true</p>
<p>10:16</p>
<p>in it and see, and that's interesting, because it's real out there. Right? What I am fascinated by it, is that you'd say, okay, got this idea. We go through the prototype, you're starting to design it. Right. Very cool, right? But you also throw in, is it? Is it going to be marketable? Is there a business case around that? Yes. And then all of a sudden, you're gonna say, okay, yes, yes. And then you're gonna say, now we have to modify, or we have to manufacture right? This product. Yeah, you're involved there. Yes. And that's why you have such great success, because it's cradle to grave grave. And it is because you, you take into consideration and this is where I find I'm sorry, I'm sure. You can tell. I'm geeking out everybody. This is just too cool. Right? Where it starts to fail is like, Here, here's your here. Here it is. Now. Good luck with it.</p>
<p>11:07</p>
<p>Now, let me tell you, that's cool. Let me tell you the secret sauce. Don't tell the other secrets. Anybody? Okay. Remember that? 13 150 patents I say? Now, the US government has given 10 million patents? What percentage? What percentage of those 10 million do you think have been commercialized? What percentage?</p>
<p>11:30</p>
<p>I unfortunately know the answer. Because i i I'm very inquisitive. 5%. Baby?</p>
<p>11:36</p>
<p>Yes. 5%? Yes. 5%. That is, everybody knows that number. All right. Everybody knows, like, that's</p>
<p>11:43</p>
<p>common knowledge.</p>
<p>11:44</p>
<p>I got a patent award. I was. I was National Academy of inventors. I got an award from the from the commissioner of US patents, and he's putting the metal around my neck. And I reminded him I said, I said, you know that only 5%? Yeah, I see it. He's like, Yeah, yeah. I said, we have 1300 50 patents. 95% have been commercialized 95%. And</p>
<p>12:11</p>
<p>the remaining 5% are still in the process of getting commercialized yet.</p>
<p>12:15</p>
<p>So So here's the thing. Why is that? Big? Why? Why is the track record of other patents so abysmal? Because they're invented in silos? Yeah, you have an insights group. And that they throw it over the wall, and it goes to a design group, they throw it over the wall, it goes to the engineer that throw it over the wall to the prototype, or they keep trying it over the wall. Okay. And by the time it's at, it doesn't bear any resemblance to where you started. You see him saying, what we do, this is what we do in our innovation center here. And you're looking at it, it's historic Bill, you like this?</p>
<p>12:54</p>
<p>That's a whole nother conversation, because I just look at it. And it's like, all I can think of is how did they get the material in here? How did they, they built it. And then when you go when you walk in the rotunda, whatever you want to come back,</p>
<p>13:07</p>
<p>you know, you know, the return of our innovation center is bigger than the US Capitol.</p>
<p>13:13</p>
<p>Spectacular. That's the first thing I noticed. It's like, whoa, whoa, taking my breath away. I</p>
<p>13:21</p>
<p>know. It's impressive.</p>
<p>13:22</p>
<p>Very cool. So we're second, the secret sauce that gets thrown over the wall, throwing it over the wall.</p>
<p>13:31</p>
<p>We start with a plant partner, they have give me your biggest problem. Give me your biggest opportunity. Just you think it's impossible? On obvious, okay, right. And we put a team together at the very beginning, we have a project manager, okay, the project manager has leads for insights, design, engineering, prototyping, digitization commercialization, and they're all there at the front end all of them. And they very carefully go through a 12 month process to commercialization and 95% get there. That's the difference.</p>
<p>14:14</p>
<p>How do you and because I, I interview many within industry, my backgrounds industry, and I and I've been experienced in that, that conference room where somebody comes up with an idea. Okay, it might not, it might be a little off the mark, but there might be some nuggets of truth, right? Yeah. But in industry, it gets shut down.</p>
<p>14:40</p>
<p>That's the problem. That's the silo. Exactly. Correct.</p>
<p>14:43</p>
<p>Yeah. So create that cool. Okay. So what we do, don't shoot people do we do</p>
<p>14:48</p>
<p>is we start with the customer. We start with how right? It's all right. Okay. You start with a customer. So you bring a customer in. Okay. and you start talking to him, you know, what about this product or that product? What do you love? What do you hate? What this? Did you start getting this input, okay? And you get their pain points. And you can you start, all of a sudden you open the customers mind and you start picking their brain, what do they do? What do they want, so forth. That's number one. Then you take all of that great data, and you go into your designers. And now your designers have what we call a creative session. And the creative session is we focus in a room, you have about eight to 12 people. And we focus on what we call mild to wild. Man, it's cool. Alright, so mild is the obvious thing, you know, just get that out of your head. Okay. Yeah. Now, you got that out your head. What's the wildest thing you could say? I don't care if it can't be done. I don't care if the technology then I don't care if it's levitating. I don't care what what is the wildest, wildest thing? Now get that out of your head. Now, everything in between, now you have 100 ideas. 100 ideas, I call that the diverging concept, you diverge, and you just, there's no bad ideas, by the way. Nobody can shoot anything down. Okay, good. And you do that. So now the walls are literally filled with posts, felled, and you're exhausted and you go home. Okay, you go home. The next session is the con verging session. You take those 100 ideas. Now you separate them in groups. You sketch your best ones, and everybody takes turns saying, I like this one, make a presentation. But here's this here's the here's the sacred thing. And I'm gonna give it don't tell anybody. Okay? Don't listen, guys. Everybody has three is everybody can do this. By the way. 333 note cards. Everybody gets three note cards. One note card says, nice. One note card says, Who cares? And one note card says, wow. Okay, now, it's coming out now. Put it down. Yeah. Make your make your passionate presentation on this idea. Now everybody at the same time, put up your notecards. Okay, now, he's made a passion or he or she made a passionate thing. Everybody says Who cares? I don't care. Get rid of it. It's never gonna fly. Okay. The next guy comes up. Next person comes up mix their passion thing. Nice. Nice. Nice. You know, that's the hardest one. Yeah, because everybody's got nice product too many nice product is produced. Nice and nice. And they come out. And they have nice sales. Nice sales. But when you have this thing, every once in a while you do. Everybody says Wow. Wow. You know, when you walked in, when you walked in our rotunda, what did you say? Oh, I</p>
<p>18:07</p>
<p>said, Wow, I did.</p>
<p>18:10</p>
<p>Not planned. Wow. Is it emotional response? Boom, wow. Okay. When I when I have this idea, and I put it in front of the group, and I say okay, put your note cards up and everybody says, Wow, I got a winner. I got it. Okay. Then the hard work starts. Yeah. Then you, you know, you design, you make a prototype of it, you always come back to the customer. Okay. You keep on going here. I had a thing, Scott, I think it was a new Iron, steam iron. And it was a prototype, but it looked just like the real thing. And I had a woman in there and said, I want to buy this thing. And we said, well, you know, it's a prototype. It's there's only one I mean, she did she She put her arms around it says I'm not leaving. I want to buy this thing. I knew I had a winner.</p>
<p>19:04</p>
<p>So this is interesting. Yeah. So there's a tremendous amount of energy. Oh, by</p>
<p>19:08</p>
<p>the way, become the number one selling art in the United States. But it is what yeah, what is it? What's the number one? I</p>
<p>19:14</p>
<p>don't? Don't know. But there</p>
<p>19:17</p>
<p>you go. I got a million of these stories to see, here's the deal.</p>
<p>19:20</p>
<p>Here's the deal. What makes this location this innovation center? Yes, this juggernaut and solutions is the fact that when you walk around your to your team, you can go from concept all the way to your</p>
<p>19:38</p>
<p>creating vertically integrated right there. Yes, everything's there.</p>
<p>19:43</p>
<p>Everything's there. Yeah. And you're saying I'm looping in the customer at the same time. So all</p>
<p>19:48</p>
<p>the way through ERP we are at this stage, the customer comes back. And you know, we know by the time we're out in the market, we know but then yeah, but then we never go on a national launch. We go on a soft launch. One soft launch with one retailer, one region of the country, because we want to know, even if we think it's a winner is the price right is a position right? Is it packaged? Right? Is it gonna? Is it gonna perform the way we want to? And then we see that and if there's a if there's an issue, we'll tweak it. No problem. But when we get it right, then scaling is no problem. No problem. It's just so exciting. Let me tell you this story. Amazing. I've the Sherwin Williams twist and pour paint container. You see that?</p>
<p>20:33</p>
<p>Okay, so I've seen it. Yes. Okay, good. Talk to us about the show. Cuz it's obvious, but everybody knew he's like,</p>
<p>20:41</p>
<p>talk not only is it not obvious, I've got 23 patents on it. But yeah, who's counting? Who's counting? Who's counting? Okay, so paint has been in metal cans forever. Okay. You need a screwdriver, open it you need a hammer to close it. You know, you know the contractor. He doesn't care. But the do it yourselfer does big time. So we bring the dirt yourself around. She says I can't get a butter knife to open this. I mean, I don't want what if I had</p>
<p>21:11</p>
<p>sorry, guys, five years? Yes. I was there. butter knife we're getting</p>
<p>21:17</p>
<p>we're getting so they got to open the open the thing with a with a thing. It always pours down the stack. You gotta have a hammer to close it. It's messy. You know what? Maybe there's a better package. So we did. We partnered with Sherwin Williams, we created a product called a question pour paint container. You don't need up, you just twist it open. You poured it doesn't drip. You push it back. And it's a square can and it's wonderful. Now we knew the customer liked it. Loved it</p>
<p>21:48</p>
<p>doesn't get stuck. Now. See, when I saw it out there on the floor, or wherever it was within the journEY around this place? When I saw it, I just said how many times have I taken a can use the butter knife, open it up? Had to share it or do whatever and then close it back up with a nut with a hammer. And it splatters everywhere. It was just but it never changed.</p>
<p>22:15</p>
<p>Is that good customer engagement? I don't think so.</p>
<p>22:17</p>
<p>No, not one bit. This is it. Right? Do you like it?</p>
<p>22:21</p>
<p>Great right here. See? So that is dazzling? Right? It's dad?</p>
<p>22:29</p>
<p>He does stuff all day long. Man. This is a blood test with that. It's it's the it's that little machine. Gotcha.</p>
<p>22:36</p>
<p>And that's it. Yes. And it is it is going to change blood testing in the world. Not the not the world. Why? The art. So let me tell you, let me tell you. It has a little has a little thing called the clock chip, you prick your finger, you take a blood test, you put it on our little handheld machine, right? And instantaneously. You can tell for instance, if your blood is too thin or too thick if you're taking a blood thinner, okay? With not with no antigens, it's used. It uses physics instead of chemistry. Alright, you don't have to get antigens from China. You can do it right here. It's all digital, and it's instantaneous has never been done. And it's on obvious</p>
<p>23:24</p>
<p>scene. That's amazing. Yeah. So you just eliminated the necess. The supply chain, it says it's it's digital. It's right next right there. It doesn't have to tell you, man, it's, it's spectacular.</p>
<p>23:38</p>
<p>It's been what care bike? Yes. mountain bike. So the bike has been manufactured in Northeast Ohio. And because it's an E bike, it's got software that has three modes. One is E by, you know, 25 miles an hour, no license, moped well, more powerful and full on badass motorcycles. 85 miles an hour, right? Yes, same thing. Yeah, it's been manufactured right here, and it's got a plug in battery, you can take it out, you can run your laptop on it in the woods or whatever. I mean, it changes the game, and it's gonna be manufacturing. So</p>
<p>24:21</p>
<p>I have we could, we can definitely talk forever. For me, I don't have the time. I could just sit here and have a great DisnEY Land of innovation, big time. And it is true that you're not underselling that one bit. Oh, not one and how bad now one of the questions I do have, because you've been around for many years. I think we're coming up on what the universe is Xero big 500 And we're starting our second five year 50 year plan. And you should yeah, you'll be around. There's a legacy here.</p>
<p>24:51</p>
<p>We're working. We're working on that. Yeah, you're</p>
<p>24:52</p>
<p>fine. You're fine. But the thing that I'm interested in is how did this whole it's like one day People were talking about this digital transformation. It's great. It's, it's good around a coffee table. But now it's real real. How has that really impacted the way you look at products? Everything</p>
<p>25:12</p>
<p>is digital today, everything. And, and I, you know, when you go into our prototype facility, which is like that prototype, isn't that great?</p>
<p>25:21</p>
<p>I like every I even like, I mean, I like every part of this building.</p>
<p>25:25</p>
<p>Here's the things we ourselves was factory 3.0 Here, we've got all of these, these, these CNC machines. Yeah. And in digital, 3d printing is all that stuff. But we are even taking the ones that are like 30 years old. And we're digitizing. You don't have to have a brand new. You don't have to redo your factory. That's it now. Yes. And so you can you can get you can get predictive maintenance, you can get yours next. Oh, you can do a digital twin of your old old factory and bring it up to factory 4.0 and an eight that hard. See,</p>
<p>26:05</p>
<p>where do you see it? Okay, put your future hat on. Okay.</p>
<p>26:09</p>
<p>Are you kidding me? Scott, I always have my future.</p>
<p>26:12</p>
<p>He was taking a group around his organization here. And you can tell that there's a there's still immense passion. You're never tired about? Oh, no, no. And rightly so. I was born to do you were born to do this. So where do you where do you think it's going? Where's this? My</p>
<p>26:28</p>
<p>God? The sky is the limit. We just have the launch pad here. Alright, we have the launch pad. We're building the rockets. And I don't know how have these rockets are gonna go but the sky's the limit. I'm telling you.</p>
<p>26:41</p>
<p>What if a company wants to get ahold of you, what do you do?</p>
<p>26:43</p>
<p>Pick up the phone.</p>
<p>26:48</p>
<p>World Wide Web, you know that that internet,</p>
<p>26:50</p>
<p>you can push a</p>
<p>26:51</p>
<p>button rallies. And I'm telling you, it's an honor. This is exciting. This is this is the manifestation of me as a kid going to DisnEYland. And in the Carousel of Progress, I have to share this reel with you real quick. So I was here last night, doing a walkthrough, getting all giddy getting all just so jazzed about the whole thing. I go back, my wife and my son are with me. And I just said you can't believe it. And I'm hyperventilating as I explained this particular location, and that I yanked my son. I said, You got to get out. You're coming down here, just because I want to see the dome. You got to see the dome. And then we walked around and you guys have been absolutely gracious, gracious. And it's very cool. Thank you. Excellent. Alright listeners. You can reach him out of the worldwide web. That is it's it's under</p>
<p>27:44</p>
<p>Nottingham's. Oh, there</p>
<p>27:45</p>
<p>you go.com Right. You got that URL.</p>

<p>Industrial Talk is brought to you by NEOM that's NEOM.com they have a vision of changing the world for the better in almost every way. They are committed to that. They have a bold, a brave and daring greatly vision on how to change the world. For the better for all of us. They are committed to that. Go out to niobe.com get involved, you will be dazzled and you will not be disappointed. Big thinking going on there. And you know what's happening out there. Technology. Innovation is happening everywhere. And the speed at which is just absolutely blistering. You know who's leading the way Intel that's right Intel, they are leading the way with edge cloud. You name it industry for Dotto, right in their wheelhouse smart cities. Yes, robotics. Yes. And, and let's say digital transformation of the utilities. Yes, Intel is where you want to go go out to intel.com find out more and see how they can help you innovate. Welcome to the industrial talk podcast with Scott MacKenzie. Scott is a passionate industry professional dedicated to transferring cutting edge industry focused innovations and trends while highlighting the men and women who keep the world moving. So put on your hardhat grab your work boots, and let's go Alright, welcome again to industrial talk v number one location in the universe that celebrates you industrial heroes, you are bold, you are brave, you dare greatly you solve problems, you innovate like no other and you are changing lives and the community Do not forget that put that in your pocket because it is important because you got to believe we need you big big time in the hot seat in the Industrial Talk we have Sahar Ehsani, she is with Intel, we are talking about manufacturing technology. She is a senior center segment market lead discrete manufacturing. And, you know, we're gonna be talking about Yep, AI, machine vision, sustainability and how all that works to go there. Let's get cracking. So you get to join me on my educational Odyssey to learn from the very best in industry about that man, you get to join me, I again, I you know, you got you got incredible professionals, such as Sahar and, and she knows what she's talking about. And also people from Intel and others, that are just absolutely one. Thank goodness that they desire to truly develop, develop the innovations to be able to make our lives better, thank goodness. And you know what else is so great that they're willing to share their insights and wisdom for us, so that we can begin to learn you never stop learning? Each day, always learn that, I don't know, it doesn't sound so fantastic. But it is it got to there's it's all out there. And especially in industry, we've got to do that. Alright, let's talk a little bit about the industrial Academy. Real quick. The industrial Academy is absolutely dedicated to education. And the reason it's dedicated to education is because, well, that's something nobody can really take away from you. If you are dedicated if you are committed if you have a true desire to learn from the very best within industry, industrial academies where you want to be because we're we're talking about management leadership, we're talking about innovation, we're talking about the nuts and bolts of operations. And what are the strategies associated with not in a way that is like, Oh, my gosh, this is a 75 hour class and and it'll drive you crazy? No, no, the responsibility on your part is one, that you get the flavor you get to hear from the best that represents let's say IoT, or edge or cloud or reliability, whatever might be the best. And it's up to you because you have a spirit of learning is to go out and find out more all the contacts and information is out there. It is a big, big win for you continue to learn, grow, and and just, you know be the best you possibly can be because</p>
<p>04:39</p>
<p>for whatever reason, maybe I've got rose colored glasses. I can't tell you why. But I really truly in my heart of hearts, believe that industry is truly the key that can change lives, change communities and change the world. And it might be Pollyanna. It might be Well over the top. I like bold, brave goals. And and the industrial Academy is focused on being able to provide industrial education for people who need to know. So that their lives can be changed, their companies can be changed, their communities can be changed, and so on. And so the world. Alright. Let's get going. I get all Tingley about that type a type of conversation now. So hard, but it's been a bit of a long journey to get her on the podcast. But fear not she does not disappoint. great conversation, great insight, great stuff that's happening at Intel. I've got her form here, you go out and find her stat guard. All very impressive. So we're going to be talking and yeah, you're gonna say, Scott, Oh, you've already talked about AI? Yeah, we have. But it never stops, continues to grow continues to evolve, we never stopped. You know, we've talked about machine vision, looking at the ability to look at products and improve the quality and so on and so forth. And of course, sustainability. What does that mean? How does all this wonderful innovation help sustainability because it also has to sort of work hand in hand. If there's a gap that is missing from that particular value chain. Now, that's a problem. But Intel sohar team Intel are working diligently not just in manufacturing, but also in in the energy space and oil and gas all everything that you could possibly at the heart, you know, entails right there. All right. Enjoy this particular interview with Sahar Sahar, welcome to industrial talk. How are you doing?</p>
<p>06:47</p>
<p>doing very well. How are you, Scott?</p>
<p>06:49</p>
<p>It's been a long time in the making to try to get you on the podcast.</p>
<p>06:54</p>
<p>Yeah, sorry. It's my bad I might sign.</p>
<p>06:58</p>
<p>You don't need to you don't need to cower away from me. I was just I was so excited when we first met. And, but but business moves on people get busy. It's all about that. But you're here right now. And listeners, you're going to be impressed. She's got a mad statcard out there on LinkedIn. Absolutely. Of course, I'm looking at her form. And that's impressive, too. So you Listen up, learn educate with me, because I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. But Sahar is she's a sharp tool in the shed. All right, for the listeners. So Mark, give us a little background on who you are.</p>
<p>07:34</p>
<p>salutely first of all, it's a pleasure to be here, Scott, and have this conversation with you. I'm very excited for this conversation. And about myself. I'm big global segment lead for discrete manufacturing industry at Intel IoT group. So basically what I've been doing in align my career in Intel, and outside of Intel, I've been engaged with manufacturing, all my career. And in my current role, what I do is of working with partner and manufacturing and customers to facilitate and accelerate the digital transformation that's taking place currently around the goal. It is listeners, it's really awesome. It's very exciting. We are just in the front of the line and helping everyone to make those cyphy in</p>
<p>08:35</p>
<p>the future baby in the future is now man, it's now</p>
<p>08:40</p>
<p>all those things that we were seeing in the movies is now happening. And it's very exciting.</p>
<p>08:44</p>
<p>It is. I was just watching Minority Report and and some of the things that they're going through. It's like, Oh, that's happening now. Oh, that's cool. Oh, you know, it's pretty exciting. Now, I'm not. Again, we've established I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, can you define discrete manufacturing? How's that different than well manufacturing?</p>
<p>09:03</p>
<p>Absolutely, yes. So, when we look at the manufacturing Overall, we can divide it to two or three segments, let's say three segments, for the simplicity, one is discrete manufacturing, then you will have individual product as an outcome but those products can be assembled through bringing different parts from different location in one place. They can be built all in one place or they can be built around the globe apart and get assembled like automotive industries, right, like consumer goods, like electronic and devices. So all those parts some can be made in China, some in Vietnam, etc. They come out to another Assembly Facility and they get assembled and after their life is done, you can disassemble them again and cycle them. But when it comes to their hybrid, that's another section of manufacturing hybrid, which is the process and discrete manufacturing together. It has like some sort of batch processing like food and beverage. So for example, if you mix two chemicals with each other for pharmaceutical, you need to continue that process, you cannot stop it, you cannot ship it to somewhere else around the world. Because, yeah, so that's part of the process industry, but batch processing, because things get prepared in batches. And then at the end of the day, get they get packaged, which is part of the discrete manufacturing, that's what they call them hybrid. The other one is continuous process manufacturing, like oil and gas, right? You see a wealth of oil, you cannot stop it, that needs to continue, and you need to keep take care of those processes. They call it continuous processing.</p>
<p>10:59</p>
<p>I like it. That's a good explanation. Now, listeners, you're better because of that explanation. Now, you know, don't, don't come to me and say, Scott, I don't know. All right. One of the topics that we're going to be talking about, and what we're going to feature on this particular conversation is going to be talking about AI. AI is application to manufacturing, and, and artificial intelligence, this machine vision stuff, give us a little just sort of your definition of, of artificial intelligence, and its application and manufacturing.</p>
<p>11:32</p>
<p>Absolutely. Let me give you a little bit background on bringing in this technology to manufacturing Overall, we want to make manufacturing smarter. We know in some of those manufacturing, like automotive, there are lots of automations already going on. We know my factoring like silicon manufacturing, like silicon chip, like Intel, when you look at their main factories is really well automated. So what is AI is really bringing to the table for those very fully automated manufacturing. When you add AI, basically, you leverage tons of data that is being generated by those automatic automatic devices. So you get that data, you analyze it, you make a decision based on the result of that. So that's what artificial intelligence does. If you get the result, and immediately as a control rule, feed the information back to the manufacturing line, that's a closed loop control. And during that you have the real time control of the manufacturing production. And then all of this together improves the manufacturing processes and efficiencies improve manufacturing uptime, right. So if you want to look at the strategy of how the technology are coming to the manufacturing board, I believe personally, AI and machine vision are going to be the front of the line, because they are easy additions to the already existing technologies in manufacturing, whether very advanced manufacturing, like auto or semiconductor, or they manual type of manufacturing, like machine builders, so you can add or port builders or textile companies in China. So let me explain a little bit about how AI works.</p>
<p>13:31</p>
<p>But let me interrupt real quick, let me interrupt real quick. So what I hear you saying is that it's it starts, it starts with the ability to collect data, but there's a tsunami of data for lack of a better term, I me, Scott, is I'm not going to go through a spreadsheet, look at all the data that's coming off of machines or though or the line, I need some technology to help facilitate and make some decisions that allow good data to come through and throw away the bad data. Is that right?</p>
<p>14:02</p>
<p>Exactly. That's absolutely true. And that's artificial intelligence. You connect it on connected if they're not connected already. And then you collect the data, and you analyze the data. And based on that analysis, that happens automatically, you make a decision, what you want to do next</p>
<p>14:21</p>
<p>is your zero learning component to AI. It's one thing I can create parameters, I would imagine you're the expert, I can create parameters that certain data gets through is that can that can I learn and be and hone and be more refining? as I grow and be able to improve the analytics of that data for my my business?</p>
<p>14:45</p>
<p>Play? Yes, the data machine learning aspect of it. So the algorithm that you add to the computer that is running that algorithm basically, it gets better and better terabit more data, one of the main challenges that we currently have in the manufacturer is that they have a very high yield is finding bad parts. Because if you want the device to, to locate the bad part in a production line, you first need to teach that algorithm what a bad bad part is. So if a manufacturer has a very high yield means that they do not produce so many bad data. So sometimes it takes three months to collect bad data in order to train that algorithm. And those algorithms, they get better over time as we get more data through them.</p>
<p>15:42</p>
<p>And it I would imagine, so hard that that, if I want to be competitive going forward, if I want to be that, I want to have some sort of legacy sustainability, when it comes to my business, I'm going to have to embrace this, I'm going to have to figure it out. But you know what the problem I have, and help me understand this. I just think of costs, I think it's going to be expensive. I know today, what I'm looking at. And if you're telling me I got to go down this road, I have, I don't have that clarity, what what's the economics behind all this, that's</p>
<p>16:15</p>
<p>a very reasonable, actually concerned by any type of manufacturing managers or executives. So we all if you're living in a very competitive board, all the customers, they want perfect products, but cheaper, and everyone is trying to pay that. So in order to keep that profit margin for my factors and keep our business running, they need to have solutions that make business sense. And usually, that's why that I was thinking that AI and machine vision, powered by AI, our best solution to start speed, because you don't need to change much on your manufacturing line, you just add the machine vision, you assess the quality of your devices, and usually within eight to 12 months, you get the positive ROI.</p>
<p>17:07</p>
<p>Spectacular, you know that? That is without spectacular. I mean, if if I had I mean, I was evaluating investments that had a three to five payback, right? took three to five years just to start looking at things that are positive. And that's pretty common. Now, but I don't want to gloss over this. But explain what machine vision is? Oh,</p>
<p>17:31</p>
<p>yes, let me explain what machine vision is. So let's imagine that you have a factory line that has a product and you want to inspect it, you put a camera on it, and you connect the camera to a piece of compute. And machine vision actually is capturing those images, and analyzing those images through a AI algorithm on that compute. So there are different type of there are different types of technologies being used. anomaly detection is one of the paths that people take, basically, looking into good and bad data, the good data, you don't mind you just say good data good go away. You don't want to keep them but the bad data you can locate and you can say this part is bad. So that's how machine vision boards by looking taking images and being connected to compute that has AI algorithm on it.</p>
<p>18:29</p>
<p>So this is how I see it happening this I see it rolling out. If I am able to deploy AI deploy the machine vision in the right area, I might capture anomalies within my manufacturing quicker compressing that time, not waiting for it to get shipped off to my customer, who then finds out that it's not in line with their specification and have that absolutely awful conversation.</p>
<p>18:57</p>
<p>Yes, you nailed it. Those are the cost saving that we will get out of installation of machine vision. I like to add one more thing. On the machine vision we do have two different types of machine vision machine vision technology is based based on a camera and a separated PC. And then there are integrated a smart camera that they have a smarter chip, but it's integrated on the camera. So I want to be clear if any of the audience they have experience with smart cameras that compute based on algorithm is embedded in the camera itself. But around the effect of it. That's very true. When you do the quality inspection in advance to the processes. Let's imagine you have a silicon chip that you need to put a solder ball in and it goes through mold etc. Or I don't know even in automotive part when you are welding something and then it goes on it gets painted. Now at the end of the line then it's getting inspected and you see that defect on Do you need to do the reward on the whole car is a lot of manual engineering work, which is expensive. But if you had figured out that weld, defection early on in the processes, you could just remove it because it's so fresh and you can redo it and so you don't have the removing the paint, etc, in an automotive industry. So that's one part of it. The other part is customer credibility. You don't want to send defective products to customers. That's not good nowadays, for any</p>
<p>20:36</p>
<p>good for anybody. That's what I got Jeffery, not good. See, you know what's interesting, I believe, people like you, and others, Intel, whatever. This strive to be able to produce a to produce solutions that generate high quality products. Okay, we consumer, me and others. I'm telling you right now, we take that for granted. We take that for granted every week. I remember growing up, and I had a 57 Chevy, I still have it by the way. 57 Chevy, there are things that I just sort of accepted. The door didn't close, right? Doesn't matter. It's just that we would never, ever tolerate any, any flaws or problems with our cars. Even the inexpensive cars have a high-quality output. It just it's because of people like you.</p>
<p>21:35</p>
<p>Yes, absolutely. Because the world has changed computer is doing the job of human. And with this AI solution, they're really replacing those repetitive boring jobs, yes, to take the jobs away from employees. Actually, those type of jobs are very repetitive looking at every weld pieces to make sure that it's okay or not you might meet it is just like boring, there is not advancement for employees. So they can really give those jobs to the computers. And robots do that for us. And they do it with more accuracy and faster.</p>
<p>22:10</p>
<p>But sorry, you're you're bringing up an interesting point. And if I had a nickel every time somebody said, Hey, that AI is going to take away my job. I always say it'll take away and deal with the mundane. But the the intellectual component of your job must be done by you.</p>
<p>22:27</p>
<p>Exactly. Yes, absolutely. Actually, I think Ben, if you need to look at it this way. Maybe in the older generation, some people got used to those repetitive jobs. And kind of I would say people like to do like normal things forever. But not new generation. These people, they really grew up with computers and cell phones, etc. They don't like to work with 30 year old technology, they don't like to learn it. And they don't like to do a lot of physical job. So they really like to use their brain, they're into writing software's and thinking about designs and innovation, etc. And this new technology is a great fit for them, why it is a great fit for those leveraging the learning and that blast. When experiences that they had it the older generation. So they learned all of that they built the experiences, and now they need to transfer it to the newer generation. So some of these technology captures those learning as part of the AI solutions or trainings for these new generation. So those learning estates and would be leveraged years over years,</p>
<p>23:39</p>
<p>it I don't see any of your options. If I'm if I'm manufacturing, if I'm small man, whatever, whatever my manufacturing, business it I, I have to recognize that this I have to go down this road. I can't say business as usual, given the realities of what's taking place in the market, and the technology and the innovation that's coming out of, well, Intel right now I can't. And it's because if I do, then somebody is going to take over my job, somebody is going to put me out of business because they're going to be more efficient, more competitive, greater quality, everything that I want as a consumer, I will not be able to meet that.</p>
<p>24:25</p>
<p>I can give you an example you reminded me of a very good part of this technology, adapt adoption and transformation. A lot of smaller small medium companies they they really didn't want to adopt be the first one of adopting industry for Dotto in their manufacturers. They were waiting for others to adopted getting technology mature enough and adopting it and then suddenly pandemic hit and impacted all these smaller and medium businesses. Now they're taking get more and more seriously in Germany, in Australia, even in China, because they figured out that a lot of manual processes are happening between their factories. And now because of their pandemic and all those cocksure factories, they couldn't get enough risk center enough resources. And let me give you some use cases, that just gives you the understanding of application. For example, previously, the machine builders who build the equipment for automotive companies or, or any other factories, pharmaceutical companies, etc, they would build the machine sell it to them, and every year they would go to do software upgrade, or if there was issue, they could do their maintenance of equipment send an employee there, during COVID, that couldn't happen. So the equipment would go down. But with AI and connectivity, they can have access to the machine data, not the processes data that has the IP of the manufacturers, they can only get access to machine data and how the machine is performing. And when they see something is not working out very well, as expected. They catch it early. And they can do all these software upgrades, etc, remotely without sending any video. Just imagine how much of efficiency is in that just by adopting led by by adopting connectivity, let's say,</p>
<p>26:32</p>
<p>let's see, this was interesting, because that same in we spoke briefly about this asset reliability, I can take that same asset, collect the data, recognize the challenge, deploy somebody in maintenance, saying, Okay, now you need to screw this round piece and this whatever, you don't need anything else. That's what you need. Go out there. Do it done. You know, that that is that is so powerful. It's so impressive. It is happening now. It's now. Yeah, yeah, it's not pie in the sky. You know, Buck Rogers, stop, no, wait isn't done. All right. So So tell me, what are the roadblocks? I mean, either I'm just sort of all geeking out on all this stuff. And I'm all Yeah, I'm all in. But there are people that are pushing back? What What, what is that? roadblock? What? Why?</p>
<p>27:27</p>
<p>So actually, I think we talked about all of this goodness, that technology is bringing it to manufacturing. But how really, can we make it real? It's not a one company's job. They're an ecosystem. And actually, I think that's a beauty of the work that Intel does. We work with a broad ecosystem from software companies who build the algorithm, and is optimized an Intel silicon, we work with OEMs, who are already leveraging our silica and but we work with them to come up, come up with the flexible software defined as devices in a set of fixed function devices. We work with manufacturers itself to understand their pain points and address it in a way that really, really puts that pain point in consideration, not because technology is cool and nice. It's related to business cases for them. So this the I think, the Roadblock, the main Roadblock, is moving in synchronized way all together. Because we all need each other to make these to enable this technology and make the commercial version available for the customers to be able to deploy it. We do have that ecosystem partners. And we do have some of the solutions that are already available. But there's a still a long way to go.</p>
<p>28:52</p>
<p>So how are you you hit the nail on the head? I'm always talking about especially today. We need to collaborate? Not everybody has all the answers. No company has all the answers. No individuals have all the answers. And the only way that we're really going to continue to move forward in this brave new digital world, right? It is through collaboration. It is understanding problems. You're not going to just go out there and hey, I'm building this widget and it does this and nobody wants it. Because it's not doing anything and might solve something I don't know. But it is all about collaboration because you cannot innovate without that level of collaboration. You are absolutely on fire. so far. All right. Let's talk once again, we've got you know, we go out to industrial talk we try to promote and I know that you have some webinars coming up but we don't have really any date. So listeners, there are going to be some webinars that are going to be put on by Intel. And I think that it's important to be able to participate. Am I am I on point on there?</p>
<p>29:55</p>
<p>Yes, absolutely. We are going to have a series of webinars as you Intel industrial solution builders event. So we used to have all these in person, but because of the COVID now is virtual. And because we understand how people get bored quickly on virtual platform, we have these small, like one hour webinars that come with our partners. And we talk about the solution that are already available in the market. We talk about use cases, real world use cases. And we share the pain points and the path that these end customer manufacturing went through to find the right solution, right partner in cooperation. Fantastic webinar series is going to take place from beginning of October through mid December, please stay tuned, and we'll share the schedule with you.</p>
<p>30:47</p>
<p>Yeah, and I'll be able to let people know because that that, once again, is an important conversation to have. And listeners, you just got to keep learning, because we're all about educating, collaborating and innovating. And we've got to educate and why not learn from? I do I learned from Intel? Because I can and that's a good thing. It's not a bad thing. All right. Couple of cash questions. First off, I want to get a hold of you. How do I as a listener, get a hold of you? What's the best way?</p>
<p>31:16</p>
<p>Absolutely. I'm on LinkedIn, please feel free to send me messages. And I'd be more than happy to help. And I think that would be the best thing easiest and fastest in the world of technology.</p>
<p>31:31</p>
<p>exciting time. I'm telling you. There's a hobby that I like, of myself. I like I like cooking. If you can believe that. I love cooking. I love it a lot. Can you share with me because I'm such a bozo about this. A recipe. When I say recipe, what was one of your favorite foods growing up?</p>
<p>31:52</p>
<p>Oh, interesting. Well, I I from Middle East and Iran specifically. So kebab is my favorite foods. So it's K, A, B, or p.</p>
<p>32:07</p>
<p>Got it? kebab. See soap. Okay, see, I love that stuff. So I'm going to do this, I'm going to I'm going to cook some kababs. And then I'm going to demonstrate that I support her because I love cooking. And I love that you were fantastic. Spot on. All right, listeners, we're going to have all the contact information for Sahar, we're going to also be able to just just bear with me on the events that are being put out by Intel, they will be out there for you or not. It'll all be out there. Thank you so hard. Thank you very much for joining industrial talk.</p>
<p>32:48</p>
<p>Absolutely. It was a pleasure. And as you know, we all are very passionate about technology and the positive outcome that it brings.</p>
<p>32:59</p>
<p>Yeah, it's so funny. I get to talk to people who are not passionate. I haven't unfortunately for me, I haven't come across anybody that says, Yeah, we're just deploying some AI. No, nobody does that. everybody's like, Yeah, man. We're doing this. And we're doing that. And it's like, it's exciting. All right, listeners. Thank you very much. We're gonna be wrapping it up on the other side. Stay tuned. You're listening to the industrial talk Podcast Network.</p>
<p>33:31</p>
<p>All right. Oh, Hardy, eight, I mean, hearty Thank you to Sahar and Team, Intel. And what they are doing in the world of manufacturing is it's an exciting time, as I mentioned in the interview, exciting time, great time to be alive. Let's focus in on all the positives that are taking place. And just remember, industry, you're changing worlds, you're changing lives, that means you are doing great things. And we need you. We need you to educate that's again, go out to industrial Academy, right? It's out there on industrial talk.com. And if you want to participate in it, great. If you want to be an instructor, great. If you I'll try to make it as easy as I possibly can. We've got to get your information, your insights, your wisdom, out to the masses, so that we can educate as many people as we possibly can have all the exciting stuff, all of the cool tech, all of the innovations that have taken place. Be bold, be brave, dare greatly hang out with bold, brave and daring greatly. You're going to be changing the world. Thank you very much for joining. It does real talk. We will be back with another great interview.</p>

<p>Welcome to the industrial talk podcast with Scott MacKenzie. Scott is a passionate industry professional dedicated to transferring cutting edge industry focused innovations and trends while highlighting the men and women who keep the world moving. So put on your hard hat,</p>
<p>00:19</p>
<p>grab your work boots,</p>
<p>00:21</p>
<p>and let's get All right.</p>
<p>00:21</p>
<p>Welcome to the industrial talk podcast absolute, again, honor that you have joined this podcast, this platform that celebrates industry heroes such as yourself, it is a no legacy thinking zone, do not even come to me and say I've got some legacy thinking. Because everybody within industry is bold, brave, daring, greatly innovative, solving problems, and changing lives and changing the world as we speak. Thank you very much for what you do. You're making my life better. And that's really very special. All right, we've got to on this particular podcast, we have a gentleman by the name of Michael Bates, General Manager, energy at Intel Corporation, mad skills. We have another gentleman by the name of Philip Carey, he's a consultant has his own consulting firm, had many, many years within Southern California Edison, and we're talking about the utility digital transformation. It's an important topic, and it must be discussed, let's get cracking. All right, we have a it's a bit long, because they have a lot to say, it's an important topic, a couple of things that you can do. One, you can listen to part of it, come back, listen to it again, because it's important. And two, or two or both, that doesn't really matter with me. You can go out to industrial talk.com, use the player, speed it up, boom, you're good to go. But these two individuals are absolutely exceptional, sees what has to take place within the utility space. And it is really for me being an industrial guy. And being a utility guy. I really geeked out on it, because it was exceptionally a great conversation. So I hope you enjoy it. All right, let's take care of some business real quick. I want you to get your calendar out. And this is the IoT solutions World Congress in conjunction with the industrial internet Consortium. This is an event taking place October 5 through the seventh 2021 in there talking about IoT AI, edge. You name it digital twin. I like this one quantum computing. How about that there is no stopping the future. It's absolutely spectacular. All right, put it down October 5 through the seventh, it's in beautiful downtown Barcelona, Spain, let's get our lives back in gear. That's what I want. I want I want ever this next normal to include travel. That's what I like. And boy, the people of Spain, this organization IoT solutions, World Congress organization, as well as the industrial internet consortium put on a fabulous, fabulous show. Been there a couple of times, broadcasted live from there, enjoyed every minute of it. Next one, put it on your calendar. This is in Cleveland, Ohio, Cleveland, Ohio, this is November 9 through the 11th. It's the manufacturing and technology show. And if you've never been to Cleveland, put that on your bucket list because it is a beautiful place with great people. And this event will not disappoint whatsoever. That's the manufacturing and technology show November 9, through the 11th. Put that on your calendar. A must attend event Oh, I will be broadcasting from there too. And connecting with all of the incredible individuals that are just innovative, that are bold, are brave. They're daring greatly. And you know what they don't do? They don't have any legacy thinking, boom, love it. Alright, let's get on with the interview. So this one of the the topics in one of the things that I was always sort of wrestling with, specifically to the utility space, is the fact that how does utility given all of this the renewable stuff that's taking place with all of the real innovative stuff that's being put onto the grid? How do they manage and how will they manage going forward, and it is a digital transformation, compensation and digital transformation solution. And these two individuals, Michael Bates, and Philip carry, bring the dog gun insights and wisdom. So enjoy the conversation. Welcome, and I appreciate you guys wanted to talk a little bit about the electric utility digital transformation journey, and it's a journey. Welcome, guys. How you guys doing?</p>
<p>04:49</p>
<p>Doing well? Thank you.</p>
<p>04:51</p>
<p>Alright,</p>
<p>04:52</p>
<p>got it. You know, you got to do it. Nobody knows you. So you got to just say Hey, Mike, give us a little background on who you are because they haven't gotten out to your LinkedIn stat card right</p>
<p>05:02</p>
<p>now. Okay, well, I haven't seen it either. But I'm glad to know that it looks good. And thanks for letting me go first. You bet us and thanks for inviting me enjoying conversation today. Cool, have a little background with Phil so we can share some of our common experiences. But my role at Intel is to look for opportunities to apply our technology and convene our ecosystem of partners to address big industry challenges in our energy verticals. Our energy in our case includes oil and gas power utilities, the new energy service companies that are getting into the renewable energy services, for example, the EB charging area as well, as well as digital oilfield smart AG, and water. So we look across different areas of energy and where they impacted the grid is there</p>
<p>05:55</p>
<p>like that smart AG, I had an opportunity to, I can't remember it was in Oklahoma someplace. And the the innovation that's being applied to AG, it's impressive. I just think it's cool. Everything's cool.</p>
<p>06:12</p>
<p>Let's talk about it. If you want, there's a couple of interesting projects going on in here. We might have</p>
<p>06:15</p>
<p>to just sort of dovetail and just go off on a tangent, Phil. Thank you.</p>
<p>06:21</p>
<p>Yeah, so my my backgrounds a little different. I was formerly at Southern California Edison for 22 years, in it the entire time, but started out in IT operations. And then at one point, found myself in a architecture group, and then transferred into a group called it smart grid engineering, where we were an IT group that was embedded with the OT group in transmission and distribution, the advanced technologies group. That's where I learned a whole lot about the business. And while I was there, develop this common substation platform. And I retired at the end of 2019. And now I'm off on my own as a consultant. And I've done some work with Intel and with Dell Technologies. And here I am.</p>
<p>07:22</p>
<p>It's funny. I think the internet says when you retire, you become a consultant. I think so. There's nothing else you can do it. It says,</p>
<p>07:31</p>
<p>Why the internet and my wife keeps saying I thought you were tired? Well,</p>
<p>07:37</p>
<p>you don't want to get out of game now. Just kidding.</p>
<p>07:40</p>
<p>No, you're right. You're right on the money on that one there. Because this time is very, very exciting. Very interesting. And I don't have the answers. But people like you, Mike and Phil, are in the game. And you're you're talking about this. And so we're focusing in on utilities. And typically, utilities tend to be sort of legacy thinking, this is why we're here, this is the end and it hasn't really changed for a long time, whatever that long time. might give us a little sort of, no, no, no, I'm gonna take it to Phil, because he was with Southern California Edison, not to say that you're not that important or my, you'll get your guide, okay. It's just sort of give us a little sort of that utility thinking, not today, but in the past sort of that utility thought process.</p>
<p>08:33</p>
<p>So the, you know, the current utility networks were designed, you know, we're using 100 year old technology, essentially, it was designed to generate electricity, and to deliver it to customers. And the utilities job was to get that electricity in one direction from the generator to the customer, and to balance load with generation. And as long as load and generation stayed balance, and electricity was flowing through the system, everybody was happy.</p>
<p>09:10</p>
<p>It's true.</p>
<p>09:13</p>
<p>Such a simple explanation, but it's like when I come into a room and I flip that switch me consumer or me, manufacturer or me, whatever that power be, but better to be delivered at the right cycles, rival to all of the stuff it has to write. And and that's the way utilities have been developed. It's just that's how that's what it is. And rightly so. But what's changing Mike?</p>
<p>09:46</p>
<p>Well, one thing is changing is, you know, the model is changing. And, you know, to Phil's point that utilities, the past and still current were built around reliability, keep the lights on so the talent They acquired the training they gave the policy and regulation to support that model, it's all been ingrained for, like you said, since the really much the inception of electric delivery, one way flow of power from centralized generation coal plants, nuclear plants, then through step down to consumption at the far edge, that's been the model and the bill, then the technology has been in place to support that model of keep the lights on at all costs. And I think Phil might agreed he's much more into the technology side than I am, but it feels like a siloed stack of solutions have been built around this grid reliability model. And now, the grid, the delivery model is really turning upside down. It's not it's changing from that one might flow from Central generation to to a flow from hundreds and 1000s of millions of points of generation on the opposite side of the grid, the other side of the substation, so it wasn't built to take on that two way flow equipment, maintenance costs go up because equipment wasn't designed for it, there's lost opportunity cost, because you're not connecting these new loads in a way under the kind of common substation platform to fill required. So it's a major shift of focus from the the generation side, down to the consumer side, consumer own asset side. And now you're asking a company that's been built to keep the lights on to now become a customer focused company. Look, you know, if the opportunity in the future is around services, you got to remake and re engineer a company to make that pivot. And it's hard for some companies to make that pivot, especially in the utility space.</p>
<p>11:49</p>
<p>Yeah, and, and you know, an example of that. And it's not this, not the utility industry, but IBM used to be the biggest hardware manufacturer in the world. And today, there are software and services company, they hardly make any hardware. So this is where the utilities need to go. And they need to look at how their business model is changing. And accommodate that.</p>
<p>12:14</p>
<p>Yeah, if you don't mind, God, I was just gonna add to that, I think the other thing I've heard the other comparison, I've heard Phil, and I think all of us on the call around to remember the telecommunications restructuring where the companies like the southwest and Bill's of the world who built all that infrastructure to enable what we see today, were not the companies that really profited from it, it was Facebook, Google, Amazon, they use all that infrastructure that was built and created services around it. And the infrastructure providers haven't even caught up since then, I think that's one of the inflection points we're at today is who's going to own that piece going forward.</p>
<p>12:51</p>
<p>So in a sort of simplified in my head, is that utilities were built in a way where I generate power, I transmit that power, I stick it into a distribution substation, and I just keep on bringing it down, bringing it down to the consumer level today, and that's fine. That's right, I see that flow. But today is like, okay, we have some that flow that go that way, right. But then on the other side of that, that transformer or that bus is is also generation that's happening on that side. So what so now we're saying it's got to flow the other way, and it's got to flow into this magical system. And it's not supposed to suppose just happen. It's like everything just sort of lines up. But that's not the case. That's not the case at all. So So there's a couple of things that I see taking place. First off, and I think it was you, Mike? Yeah, it was probably you. The toothpaste is out of the tooth, the toothpaste is out of the tube, it's out. So so we're heading down this road, it's happening, whether we like it or not, it's happening. So as a utility, let's say I have my utility hat on, I've got to do something about it. What problems is this new sort of dynamic grid had a causing on my system, Phil.</p>
<p>14:21</p>
<p>So one of the large problems is load doesn't necessarily match the generation system specifically out on some of the feeder circuits. So to combat this utility, really needs the capability to be able to reconfigure the feeder circuits to better match the load. Another issue is in the past, if I had a fault on one of those distribution circuits, I could tell by measuring the power flow through the relay And when it got out of specification, I knew there was something wrong, the system knew there's something wrong. And that relay would send a trip signal to the to the circuit breaker. Well, now that I have generation on both sides of that relay, how do I detect the fault? point? Yeah. So that's where some of this digital controls come in, so that we can measure and, you know, know how to deal with two way flow of energy now.</p>
<p>15:33</p>
<p>So here's the funny and here's a, here's a story from my past. So when I was with Southern California Edison, I knew, you know, I'd go into that relay room, I have that smell, and distribution voltage, I can always see, I could always see the lights, right, the lights, they'll, they'll dim. And I'll say, okay, that's what they'll dim. Okay, that's too. And I know that the, the testing the relays physically test the line. So if it, if there's a there's an, an interruption, they'll Test, test, test, and then lockout three times that was like the, the policy at a time, right. And my dad, as a former lineman, when he would watch the lights. And as a kid, I'm going to hex you're probably right, and you'll see it one, and it'll count two, and then he has three. And then right off the bat, he get a call. But but that that's old time thinking that's that's old way now with like you just said, Phil, you've got generation on both sides. How does that that physical, a really know what's going on? Mike? What other problems are utilities dealing with? In this particular? Whatever we call it? I don't even know. Is there a term that we can call this particular world that we live in from utilities perspective?</p>
<p>17:05</p>
<p>The general term, I've heard his energy transition, but that that includes a lot of different things. But that's the term I'm just gonna run with that one.</p>
<p>17:12</p>
<p>Yeah. All right.</p>
<p>17:15</p>
<p>So other other problems that they face. And again, this some of this is not some of this is technology, although I would argue the technology exists to do the kind of things that Phil and I are talking about. It just needs, there needs to be investment in alignment, mostly through right policy and regulation that allows for the type of investments. And I think we're getting there. I think there's other other market drivers. So you asked the question before, Arianna asked it. You were saying that, that this was an evolution. And you and I talked about this before I was at a neighbor's a distributech dinner or something? And someone asked the question, this was two years ago, or maybe three years ago. It's like everybody in the room that thinks that this is an evolution, raise your hand. And literally three quarters or more of the room raised their hand, no, this is an evolution. And it was mostly utilities, the understanding that this was an evolving process, it was under their control or to kind of evolve it as they drive it. But I think what's changed now and then the rest of the 10% maybe said revolution, I think if you did the same poll today, it might be the opposite. Because I think there's market drivers outside of the utilities control that really is forcing the change. One is a focus around sustainability, and impacts of climate change. That cannot be ignored by the utility. So mandates by states companies company's, again, in areas where particularly in areas where there's been energy resiliency issues like in Texas, around the storm in California around the wildflower wild fires, where companies are looking for alternative sources to roll their own energy systems. So as more and more of those, if that pain point keeps bringing more and more companies and customers to roll their own energy, that's less, that's more of a problem on the other side of the grid that Phil's talking about. So corporate sustainability driving a lot. And I also think we're gonna start hearing more how financial markets are looking at carbon based. So companies with high carbon footprint carbon based assets, which will move companies again away from that one way flow of centralized power, which is dirtier, in general, to more decentralized power on the edge again, exasperating the problem. And then finally, EBS. You know, you One could argue we're at the inflection point now. But if you follow this industry at all the companies that have declared the end of combustion engines, the policy regular the support, from, you know, Europe and US around the administration, so think those market drivers and again, I started going so long here, but those market drivers are really pushing them in ways that are forcing them into this This type of a platform that Phil's talking about to be able to enable more services and and become a player in this new opportunity. So</p>
<p>20:09</p>
<p>great. No, you know what, it's a little bit more than that, because it's the regulators as well. Yeah, you look at California's remote, renewable portfolio standard, going to 100% renewables, I think it's by 2050. And Washington state where I am at now, just in the last week or so, passed a carbon tax resolution in the house. So, you know, those kinds of standards are coming here. They're coming everywhere. So,</p>
<p>20:42</p>
<p>okay, so</p>
<p>20:43</p>
<p>let me just you brought up a lot of good points there. Mike one, I think you're absolutely right. 11 illusion versus revolution. And I think we're at that point, I think we're at that revolution, I just think that there's too many things taking place in the market today. I think the drivers of sustainability, climate change, market, ie V's and the regulator, those are challenging conversations to have one of the things that and I'll throw this out real quick, because it just popped into my head. If If carbon based assets are going to be, you know, viewed poorly, how do you even how do you even structure a financial value proposition around a traditional generate? I think it's just going to by virtue of that, nobody's going to be able to wrap it with any type of capital. That'd be tough going forward, because you still have embedded assets that are still having some sort of rate of return</p>
<p>21:41</p>
<p>and still am being amortized. Right. Yeah. So</p>
<p>21:45</p>
<p>utilities don't like stranded assets. Yeah.</p>
<p>21:49</p>
<p>Geez, Phil, I haven't heard that one in a long time stranded assets. I forgot about that one. Okay, listeners, I have a utility background and stranded assets was a word that was battered stranded assets get shut the front door. Okay. So, so now we've we've painted the picture. And there's a lot of dynamics, it's very fluid out there. And before industrial talk, we've had number of conversations that evolve revolve around the term industry for Dotto, we've talked about the edge, the cloud, this that everything around with that. But what component that was really missing was, was that utility, how does the utility fit? I get it in the manufacturing world? I get it. I get it in the oil and gas, I see it I see what they can do. Utilities because of their short of the way they look and who what they are. This is a this is a difficult question. Now with that said, what has to change? Phil? What has to change in their mindset? Because they're not going away? Without being song without being dragged? But it's happening? What has to change?</p>
<p>22:59</p>
<p>Yeah. And you know what? The technology of this is the easy part. Right? Michael mentioned, some of that technology is already around, it's usable. New technology is coming on board all the time. The problem is more with people than it is with technology. A lot of utilities don't even realize yet that they need this digital transformation. It hasn't quite hit them yet. I've been in conversations with many utilities. And you know, some of them are working on it. Some of them say now, we're not. We're not even thinking of that yet. But they need to be. There's a couple of forces at play here. First of all, if I'm a utility operator, you know, I have to meet my safety and safety numbers. Otherwise, my regulators will be really upset with me and could have some financial penalties. So if I operated my grid, and it was stable last week, and this is the way I did it, that's the way I want to keep doing it because it's a known commodity. And, you know, nobody can fault me for doing something new that didn't quite work out.</p>
<p>24:25</p>
<p>It's true. Um,</p>
<p>24:27</p>
<p>another issue is what I'm hearing now called the silver tsunami.</p>
<p>24:32</p>
<p>Yeah, I've heard that too. And it's not just is it utility? What they they've been talking about the silver tsunami for years and years and years. You know what they do? They retire, they retire, you fill and then they bring you in as a consultant.</p>
<p>24:48</p>
<p>That's what they do.</p>
<p>24:49</p>
<p>That's the</p>
<p>24:52</p>
<p>first time I've heard it.</p>
<p>24:53</p>
<p>Yeah. So I guess what I'm saying there is that many of the workers on the OT side of the house. So the transmission and distribution in the case of utilities are people that have been at that utility for 20 3040 years. And change is a hard thing. Yeah, you try to move one of these guys cheese, and they're gonna let you know that they want their cheese where it is. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Um, so the people, part of this is the hard part, getting people to accept the new technology, and also learn how to use it.</p>
<p>25:35</p>
<p>So it's silver tsunami, is that massive retirement that people like Phil, were referring to, they've been there for 30 4020 whatever years, right? And then all of a sudden, hey, I can retire. And then all that knowledge, all that intellect event, utility stuff just goes right out the door, and onto the lake. Where the end and and what do you do as a utility? And I remember I was working with another utility in Arizona, and and they were having the same thing and these planners, so you can you can walk into the planning department, and you can say, Yep, retirement, retirement, retirement retirement. And, and they know where all of the switches are, they know where all of the funny, funky things that are out on their system that they got to be aware of, and they just let the crew know, right out, whatever all of the stuff that's out there, gone, gone. And, to this day, we still don't have a real solution of saying, okay, we'll let you go. But we've got to go inside your head and pull out that information. And maybe until can get to that probe and just stick it on an endo system</p>
<p>26:42</p>
<p>now neuro link, thinking about it. So interesting stuff out there. A quick side story on that. I live in Texas, I think I told you that. And we had this winter storm that shut everything down. And I remember, I'm not going to mention the city, but one of the city water systems went down because it couldn't get the emergency backup system back up. Because the owner's manual was lost and all the knowledge about how to turn it on and connect it. So it sat there for two days until someone anyway it's kind of a symptom of the way you're just talking about it. So somebody just raised up their hand.</p>
<p>27:15</p>
<p>Hey, Scott, remember how to do it. So Scott raises his hand, he goes, Hey, can you turn on this water? Certainly can but</p>
<p>27:23</p>
<p>bring him back as a consultant. Last year,</p>
<p>27:27</p>
<p>that's right.</p>
<p>27:28</p>
<p>I have a number in mind. And it's on my napkin right here. And I'll sled across the table. And you let me know. But it's it's the truth. It is such and that whole Texas thing. That whole Texas and and for some of the listeners out there, they had a real winter storm in Texas. Now Texas is a unique system all to its own. It's called ERCOT. Right? Did I get that? Right? And so it's sort of this little unique utility Island in this all other, you know, utility type of grid. And they were they were they were challenged.</p>
<p>28:04</p>
<p>So you really highlighted the problem statement that we're talking about. The biggest, biggest feedback on during that time was there were areas in the archived grid where the downtown areas were totally lit up buildings were running full blast, even though no one could get to that building. Everyone was at home, while you know, nearby neighborhoods were having rolling blackouts, or in some cases, you know, days long blackouts. And the response was, well, we couldn't turn those switches off because they're on circuits where critical facilities are but that is not true. That gets to Phil's point. That technology exists today to do scalpel like precision, like control of those loads to turn those places that are in demand that aren't needed to areas that are without it again, it does. I think it takes a willingness. And I think a different approach to policy as well. And also willingness to invest to put that technology in place to do the things like that. Again, it's just it's not a, it just doesn't feel like rocket science to me. Yeah. But</p>
<p>29:09</p>
<p>here's, here's the thing that I have a customer and I don't want it in my backyard. Sure. I'm all about sustainability. But I'm all about having that nice, you know, turn on that light whip into my computer, have that nice clean power, just sort of making sure that things don't, you know, fry. So is this new, brave new world? Something that is really consumer centric, or is it something that it's going to cause me Yanks</p>
<p>29:44</p>
<p>either one comfort film.</p>
<p>29:48</p>
<p>I don't know that it's so much consumer centric, you know, back in my SC days. You know, we did the AMI, the automated metering infrastructure project, and we put Smart Meters out everywhere. And we made, you know, 15 minute meter reads and hourly reads available to the customers. And guess what? Most of them didn't care. They wanted their bill at the end of the month, they wanted the power to be on when they went and flip the light switch. But most of them really didn't care to go and look and see what their energy usage was at three o'clock in the morning on Wednesday. So I'm not sure that it's so much consumer driven, as it is sustainability and regulator driven.</p>
<p>30:37</p>
<p>That's interesting. You got it. Yeah, I was like,</p>
<p>30:40</p>
<p>Yeah, I would. I mean, I would counter that, I think there is an opportunity. And again, I think utilities have a great place to be the provider of these services, to engage customers. In a way I call it almost the democratization of energy. So that that power produced end or not consumed, in partnership with utility allows the consumer or some people call these prosumers producers and consumers of energy to participate in a market in the same way other load nodes can participate in a market. And I think that will facilitate more, or one, it's going to facilitate resiliency into the grid, because the grid is if we can optimize and orchestrate those many, many different loads. But I know it's yet to be proven. And I agree with Phil on the energy management data. I didn't think that was very sticky, either. And some of the projects I've seen, but I do think if there is a way to, to make it really easy for consumers to participate in an energy exchange, you'll drive higher adoption of these technologies.</p>
<p>31:49</p>
<p>has to be super easy,</p>
<p>31:52</p>
<p>breezy. And I still like it the most part, the average consumer wants their energy clean, green and cheap.</p>
<p>32:01</p>
<p>Which is right would be difficult, right? Yeah. It's like, got it clean, green and cheap. But the Something's got to give in that particular. So we've we've, we've created this reality the utility grid is there's a lot of mechanics going on out there. There's a lot of embedded assets, there's a lot of just old stuff out there, too. It's like, there's old stuff out there. And and some of its buried and some of its in these, you know, the relay sheds, and there's all these assets out there. How do we then begin to transition? Taking that reality taking the resistance of utilities to a certain extent, some are a little bit more willing than others in nacionales? It's a it's definitely a cavalcade of feelings. Where do we start? Does the technology exist to be able to transition to this night? This this whatever this digital age that we want to go to? Phil?</p>
<p>33:04</p>
<p>For the most part, yes, some of the advanced stuff, not yet. But we're really close to it. And like I said before, I think the technology is the easy part. So yeah, here's a little anecdote from me. You know, back when I started working in the smart grid engineering group, we were working on a on a large project. And my job was to assist the OT guys, in doing some of the computer control. I was the infrastructure guy. And I saw the way that some of these things were were happening. And being an it being a data center architect for as long as I was. You know, we had been doing things for years and years and years that were pretty reliable. And I went to one of the engineers, and I said, why are you doing it this way? We can. I mean, there's this system, and we can, you know, make these changes, and it will make your life a whole lot easier. And he didn't want to hear it. That's not the way we do it. So pretty.</p>
<p>34:14</p>
<p>Pretty common. Unfortunately,</p>
<p>34:16</p>
<p>I had a unique capability in that I had essentially my own lab there. And I had access to their labs as well. And I decided that, you know, I've tried to explain how I think this technology can work. They're not getting it. So I need to build it and show them. This is how it works. This is what it can do. So I did that in the lab and showed them and over time and it did take time I started getting questions about the technology. Well can it do this? Can't do that. What happens if we try this? Come on Phil, that that's,</p>
<p>34:56</p>
<p>that's a, that's a long tail type of solution. I've just got to say There we go. Okay, I'll show you. I'll create it. And then and then when you do create it, it's like, well, I'm interested in this little point here when you got this whole solution, right? And it's like, Hey, you got a kid. It's like, man,</p>
<p>35:16</p>
<p>but it was good because they thought of things that I didn't think of. Okay, right, because I was an IT guy. Right? So they would come to me, Well, can I can? Can it do XYZ? I'm like, Yeah, I think I can make it do that. So that led me to more innovation, innovation. And, and frankly, that technology, the common substation platform, basically a compute system virtualized that's built on industrial hardware that can sit out in a substation and operate, that allows the engineers to think about ways to do things that they could not do in the past. And it you know, it frees up, you know, out of the box thinking, and I hate that term out of the box, but I'll go ahead and use</p>
<p>36:08</p>
<p>it back back to those cliches, right? You just got to roll with it, because I don't know, I don't know of any other, it's just got to roll with it. Go ahead, Mike.</p>
<p>36:15</p>
<p>I was just gonna say it also unlocks innovation and in giving the utility, the ability to securely federate that data out to the developer world to look for opportunities to provide new services to customers, because there's data there, once you consolidate under the platform that Phil was just talking about, unlocks all kinds of key, some that utility is going to see right away and, and develop on their own, but many others, if they can figure out a way to federate it out. Many others will come from the from, from the from the app development world,</p>
<p>36:49</p>
<p>I gotta interrupt real quick a federated out, what do you mean by that?</p>
<p>36:53</p>
<p>So I mean, so federated, like in channels, so data sent autonomously for certain purposes and for specific up for specific applications. federated out, so in a secure way. So that, and again, I'm getting an error, or I'm touching errors I'm not that comfortable with. Okay, I</p>
<p>37:15</p>
<p>just didn't understand. It sounds good.</p>
<p>37:17</p>
<p>Oh, it's sharing the data in a way to to certain audiences that I think that value, and it's really secure exchange, does</p>
<p>37:24</p>
<p>that feel? Yeah, cuz if you look at it today, meter data is over here. And voltage measurement data is over here. And outage data is over here. And in most cases, that data never meets. But if you could combine that data into something useful, and then run some analytics against it, a good example is that most utilities inventory of assets is dismal at best.</p>
<p>37:55</p>
<p>And they're done that absolutely understand exactly what you're saying. I know that was there.</p>
<p>38:01</p>
<p>Yeah. And I think, for the most part, if you look at the field, utility does not really know what transformer My house is connected to. Yeah, they may, but they may not. They know it's one of these in this area, because the houses in this area. So there was a program that I saw, where the utility was able to take the voltage measurement data from the smart meters and run analytics against it, and determine which group of houses were connected to the same transformer. That's just a small example of when.</p>
<p>38:48</p>
<p>Yeah, and that's good for, that's good for customers, right? That's good. If I'm out in the field, and I got a power outage, right? And if I had that data, I would know that that Transformers feeding this neighborhood or this group of houses. And it allows me to think a little bit different. I can switch over here, do this, like it changes my look at the grid. If I'm out in the field and say, switch there, do this. Oh, that's, that's okay. We got it.</p>
<p>39:15</p>
<p>That's fine. For the most part, smart meter data is transforming the way that repairs are handled. Right? Because the old way is, first of all, the utility didn't really know that there was an outage until somebody called and said My power's out. And then when that somebody called and said the power's out. They would send a patrolman out to go and follow the lines and see if they can find where the problem is. Yeah, we're now you get outage reports from smart meters if your utility has smart meters, and they can pretty much pinpoint where the trouble is.</p>
<p>39:51</p>
<p>Yeah. I like that one. One other interesting project that's related. I've been part of is an idea to deploy, I'll call it autonomous mobile batteries. So batteries charged up and outside of the community in areas where solar can be. So this would be in an area. This has been particularly in in a very dense city environment where you can't put a lot of solar. And so if you would put the solar farms be on the outskirts of town, and mobile batteries would be there charging and discharging out into the network where the power is needed. I mean, it would be large size batteries, it could even be smaller size, where they're dual purpose could be even transportation. So picking people so it's a mobile battery first and then. But that type of technology that Phil's talking about, would be able to map out that autonomously move those energy resources around in a way that makes it look like baseload, which is what we're trying to replace. You don't until you make it look like baseload and act like baseload. Yeah, be hard to get to those mandates.</p>
<p>40:59</p>
<p>But that's, that's part of the problem, though, with the way that people think about change, right? Lots of utilities have automation, automation to where a operator pushes a button, and XYZ happens. You start talking about autonomous operation that scares the heck out of people. Because right now, just about every operation that happens on the grid is initiated by a human, human in the loop. So you know, the outage management system, the energy management system, it comes up with a solution, and then waits for the operator to say, execute and go.</p>
<p>41:41</p>
<p>Yeah, it is still down to that switch. Yeah. You're spot on now. And it's Yeah, but but okay. I'm bullish on the future. I'm bullish on the ability for smart people to deal or to address these opportunities, these challenges within, and I believe, I believe, from a consumer perspective, either we will be unaware, which is good. That's not aware. My path. Okay, I'll give you an analogy. So this is what happened. It's those micro interruptions that when I was alignment, would drive customers crazy, like a blip. And the reason for that normally, before an analog clock, no big deal, don't they don't care. It's still three o'clock. But when we came to the digital clocks, and you have that little interruption, then everything in the house or blink clock, high voltage power outage, and and that's when everybody said, Well, I don't like this, what's going on with my power? So if we can make it to the point where people are, they don't see it. Right, then I think we're good. But but I think we can answer these questions. Mike, where do you see it sort of going? I mean, what do you put on your future hat? Let's, let's say what if dream? What do you think it's going?</p>
<p>43:07</p>
<p>Pay? Well?</p>
<p>43:08</p>
<p>Yeah, so first of all, it starts with something you asked earlier, which is what do we need to do? And then I think one of these things? Well, the domino, despite the market drivers we talked about, I still think there's a lack of education to consumer level on some of these challenges. So I think I'd say one of the big things we need to invest more on is consumer education. And when I say consumer, I'm talking about every type of consumer, not just residential, multifamily, but also corporations and commercial industrial on, on what this smarter grid to use a term that's over us can deliver in terms of benefits. past that, I think the future will look like a lot of what the lot of what the content delivery world looks like today, the Netflix streaming world where when they first started delivering content, they recognized it, you know, coming from a central server was not going to not cut the deal. I think now as we expand in the ways we've talked about, I think a tiered compute network is going to be what the future looks like where the right amount of compute sits at the right part of the transaction. And there's a platform layer, like what Phil's talking about. I think that orchestrates that. Who wins that role. I think it's still up for grabs. I think the utilities are still in the lead position, in my view, because one, the position they have today, is still pretty sticky through policy and regulation. I also think their brand is still valuable in this area around the new services that create, but also recognize the new market entrants that are coming into this space. There's super ambitious, so companies like shell and some of the big oil and gas companies gas and oil. Yeah, so that's so Who wins that platform play, I think is who the future winners are that. But I do think it's a big platform play that orchestrates this, this new energy system we're about to fill. What do</p>
<p>45:11</p>
<p>you think the future looks like?</p>
<p>45:14</p>
<p>The future is definitely digital. Gone are the days where the grid is stable because of inertia. Meaning that Yeah, most generation is done by a big spinning mass. And that mass wants to keep rolling on when something happens. We're going all inverter base now with wind and solar, which really needs some fast controls, to stabilize the voltage and, you know, keep things up. I think utilities, a lot of them have realized that they need to get there. Some are just beginning the journey. Some are still saying that's not gonna happen. But</p>
<p>46:00</p>
<p>yeah.</p>
<p>46:03</p>
<p>Okay, go right ahead and think that, yeah, so um, it's, you know, it's coming. And we need to educate everybody. The operator,</p>
<p>46:19</p>
<p>yeah. But here's the funny thing. And being in the, in the education, there's one, there's always going to be that percentage, and it's a high percentage, I really don't care. I just, I'm not going to listen, I don't care. I've got to dig this ditch out here. And I'm going to be doing that. But what's interesting, if we truly desire, a sustainable, nimble, you know, a system, the digital solution is the only way that we're going to get there. The physical solution that we have today does not allow for any of that, really, it sort of here, yeah, we'll let you have this little area here, whatever. But to truly transform and create something that is sustainable. It's a digital, it's a digital innovation type of conversation. You won't get there. And I guarantee you, they'll lose that battle.</p>
<p>47:14</p>
<p>And furthermore, Scott, it's a digital control at the edge. Yeah.</p>
<p>47:19</p>
<p>Oh, there you go.</p>
<p>47:20</p>
<p>Some some of these operations that are going to have to happen quickly. Yeah, there's not enough time to send those digital signals back to a central location, have it processed, and then a command sent out to do something. It's interesting.</p>
<p>47:34</p>
<p>Yeah, there's a Functional Safety component to that, too, that you mentioned, Phil, when powers come in the other direction. And there's an outage, you got to know if you're a lineman, what this what this, so the system has to automatically adjust for the safety components of this new system as well, immediately,</p>
<p>47:50</p>
<p>well, and then there's another big one is when you start decentralizing the system, and run these systems over networks, you need to pay a lot, a lot of attention to cybersecurity. That's,</p>
<p>48:07</p>
<p>that's a whole nother conversation you're spot on on that one.</p>
<p>48:10</p>
<p>It is and, and you can, in my opinion, triple the amount of compute power that you need to get this work done, when you lay out lay over the cybersecurity components on top of and so the, you know, the computers that they use today, these families, pretty gutless computers that can get the job done today. They're not going to get the job done when you lay cyber security over the top of it. Yeah. So</p>
<p>48:41</p>
<p>it's doable? are we are we you know, I mean, I'm talking to to the best in the business. Is it doable? Are we gonna get there? Whatever their looks like?</p>
<p>48:52</p>
<p>I think we are.</p>
<p>48:53</p>
<p>Yeah, I think a lot of it's being done. There's demonstrations of this. Again, it's not at scale yet. But yeah, I totally agree with Phil. It's not a technology problem to solve. Technology exist, to assemble the platform to deliver the services that we just described. It's your it's the people for sure. It's also the momentum behind the incumbent legacy system. There's so much investment in it all the way up and down. That it's hard. It's like moving a tuber aircraft carrier with a tugboat. It's just really hard to move it I think that's fucking about that</p>
<p>49:32</p>
<p>now, but it's gonna happen. It is and we're gonna have to wrap this conversation up. We've been going for about 45 minutes however, Mike, how does somebody get ahold of you?</p>
<p>49:43</p>
<p>Michael dot e dot Bates at Intel coms best.</p>
<p>49:46</p>
<p>Excellent. Phil.</p>
<p>49:49</p>
<p>Phil at Carey consulting. services.com is your last</p>
<p>49:54</p>
<p>no you I like your last name is it? Do you know the guy Hey, here's my resume. You two were excellent. This is this is just scratching the surface and I, and I can see additional conversations taking place as a result of this conversation. Because I mean, we haven't even talked about the regulatory component. We haven't talked about any other. I don't even have the answers. And and I like the fact that it does, it just gets down to people. And then once people make, make that decision, saying, Yeah, it's gonna happen, then things do happen. But you're right. Technologies technology. Just is,</p>
<p>50:36</p>
<p>yeah, you know, and and You're so right. When we were working on some of this new technology, we went out to one of the locations where the engineering groups were gentlemen, from the networking group, and myself, we went out to discuss IP addressing schemas with one of the substation engineers. And first of all, we started out with him, not trusting us, because we were from it. But by the end of the conversation, by the end of the conversation, he was ready to throw us out of his office physically. But a year later, he was one of our champions. Yeah. When he finally realized that this was coming, and that there was no way he was stopping it.</p>
<p>51:33</p>
<p>is a cool,</p>
<p>51:34</p>
<p>jump on board, baby are jumping the pool, the water's fine. It's all nice and cool and refreshing. I'm gonna have to do it. Alright. Thank you very much. Okay, listeners, thank you very much for joining the electric utility digital transformation journey. It's a mouthful, but it is what's taking place today. Oh, I forgot to ask you. It's global. we're not the only ones that have to deal with all of this is global maybe. And he says some extent or another, but it's a global challenge that I believe that technology can solve, but it gets up it goes right back to the people. All right. Thank you guys.</p>
<p>52:12</p>
<p>Have a good one.</p>
<p>52:16</p>

<p>Welcome to the industrial talk podcast with Scott MacKenzie. Scott is a passionate industry professional dedicated to transferring cutting edge industry focused innovations and trends while highlighting the men and women who keep the world moving. So put on your hard hat, grab your work boots, and let's go. Alright, welcome to industrial talk. My name is Scott MacKenzie. And thank you very much for joining me. Number one. It does every related podcast in the universe. There, this is a no legacy thinking zone. You each and every day you industry hero come out and say why not? What if you're solving problems, you are bold, you are brave, you dare greatly. You're, you're changing the lives, you're just constantly disrupting in a positive way. You're changing lives and communities. That's why we celebrate you on this podcast. in the hot seat, Matt Mong, he is vice president market innovation with a company called Adeaca, Adeaca and boy, I'll tell you, man, we're gonna have a great, great conversation. And I think it's a topic that is really, I think it's happening now. And we're talking about project business automation, we got a lot to cover, let's get cracking.</p>
<p>01:24</p>
<p>Yeah, you know, what's so great about this world we live in right now is the fact that people once again, innovators, innovation is pushing the envelope, providing solutions that make our lives better, make our products better. And just bottom line, create a resilient business. And it's based off of success. And that's what Adeaca provides. That's what Matt Mong begins to talk about in this particular In short, it is, well, it's 20 minutes, like we always do, but nonetheless, great conversation, you're going to dig it. Alright. Now, again, I'm going to be talking about a couple of events. So get out your calorie, it's going to be at an industrial talk, don't worry about it. This is October 5 through the seventh 2021. right around the corner, let's get back to normal. This is IoT solutions World Congress, it is in Barcelona, and they will be focusing on IoT AI, 5g, digital twin robotics, boom, quantum computing. That's pretty cool stuff. And it is happening this year, thank goodness, Hope it opens up and all that good stuff. And hopefully, I'll be broadcasting from that location as well and highlighting all of the incredible individuals that are changing the world each and every day. Second, the second event that you need to put on your calendar is the manufacturing and technology show. This is in Cleveland, Ohio, this is November 9, through the 11th. And if you've never been to Cleveland, we put that on your bucket list, because that is a great town with great people who are just</p>
<p>03:01</p>
<p>they love that area. And it is beautiful, no doubt about it. And this event is</p>
<p>03:08</p>
<p>going to be just absolutely spectacular. And it's going to be in a great venue. So put that down. That is the manufacturing and technology show November ninth through the 11th put it down, it'll be out there on industrial talk.com. So if you're not, you don't have to worry about missing out. Now. We're going to be doing a lot of things. You know that industrial talk is about education, collaboration, and innovation in the industrial world. And I believe that that will be changing lives and communities. Big time, we can do it. And fortunately for me, fortunately for industrial talk, we have the opportunity to talk to the very best and we're going to be cranking out a lot of great programs. We're going to be talking about cybersecurity and why that is important. big topic, right? In utility transformation. Another great topic that utilities got to get on on the train the digital transformation train, it's leaving the station. So anyway, there's a lot of great stuff that's going to be happening at industrial talk. So just bear with me because we're doing a redesign of our homepage. I call it industrial talk two dot O. Very important. All right, let's get on with the Doug gun interview. Matt, Mong M,O, N, G.&nbsp;A, D, E, A, C, A is the company. He is the Vice President, as well, what makes sure vice president he had he had a change market innovation. I didn't mean to screw that up. But anyway, that's Matt mark. Great, great conversation. Enjoy. Matt, welcome to the industrial talk Podcast. I am so honored that you have found time in your busy schedule to talk to our wonderful listeners of this incredible and I'm not overselling it. Incredible podcast. How you doing there, Matt? I'm doing well. Thanks for having me, Scott. Excellent.</p>
<p>05:00</p>
<p>Excellent, excellent. So let's level set a little bit for the listeners out there, give us a little 411 on who Matt is. Yeah, so my background is mainly mainly in marketing communications. And I've been VP of Marketing for several</p>
<p>05:16</p>
<p>startups and small companies looking to grow. And my most recent position here at Adeaca is, is to do the same thing, but going about it a little bit differently. creating our own sort of category for what we're doing. It's, it's a really innovative company, cuz you're gonna be the category King on that particular whatever that category is.</p>
<p>05:43</p>
<p>Yeah, so the, the that category is project business automation.</p>
<p>05:48</p>
<p>Yeah, I love it. And listeners, it's Adeaca, that's A D, E, A, CA. And it's sounded out like Adeaca. So make a note of that. But we're gonna have all of that AP industrial talk calm, so don't worry about it, don't sweat the small stuff. So we're going to talk a little bit about project bid business automation, give us a little background on what that is. So</p>
<p>06:16</p>
<p>first, project business automation is about addressing the needs of project based companies in a single business system.</p>
<p>06:26</p>
<p>So it, what it does is it brings all the project processes inside one business system, which is the DRP, and brings it all together. So it's seamless, and in real time. So that's essentially what it does. And it's for any company that really, you know, visions themselves as a project based company. So it could be, you know, different types of manufacturing engineer to order manufacturing, project manufacturing contractors, also the construction engineering companies, even professional services, a lot of different project based companies are out there. That's what project business automation is for. What is the problem that you're trying to solve with this solution? Yeah, so these project based companies have been operating the same way for Adeaca, which is, they take care of the business system in one area over here. And that may have, you know, their accounting, and, you know, their reporting. And if their manufacturing does have some MRP, maybe supply chain, shop for control, but then all their projects are outside of that. So the project management, their project, scheduling, estimating, resource management, analytics, all stuff to do with projects is outside of that, and they don't talk. And so what ends up happening is, they start using basically tons and tons of spreadsheets to you know, manage their projects, import and export data, try and consolidate it all and figure out what's going on, as you know, projects progress. And</p>
<p>08:09</p>
<p>this is the main reason why, you know, projects are behind schedule over budget. And so we're trying to address that by bringing all this project stuff into the business system. So that all works together. And you know, as a project based company, projects, drive your drive your business, so they should be at the core of your business system as well. So projects drive your your manufacturing project, strive, your construction projects, your supply chain, your MRP, your your accounting, everything is driven by the project. And so if you don't have that connected in one system, it's a nightmare. And then that's what these people are, these people are dealing with, you know, the sad part about it, they're mad is that you brought it up, he said, hey, these have been going on for Adeaca. And and that pain has always been there for Adeaca. And everybody has talked about the fact that, hey, I'm having challenges here and there. And I'm and and but nobody and I don't understand why I don't understand why that there has not been more action in an attempt to be able to consolidate and put this all under one umbrella to grade. I don't have greater visibility in what's taking place in your project. I it just makes it makes complete sense. Why Why? Why are Why are they reluctant to do so? What What is going on? Why it just seems like it's a no brainer. The pain is extensive? Well, yes. So yeah, it's interesting. I think there's a couple of different reasons. The first is, it's just as the way we've always done it, you know, this is just, it's just a traditional</p>
<p>09:48</p>
<p>as far as the culture of what they're doing, and they built up the silos of all these different sort of fiefdoms. Yeah, that's true, right? You've got</p>
<p>10:00</p>
<p>You've got your, your, your project managers over here, and they have their tool and they love it. And they do it this way. And then you've got your engineers over here. And you've got your accountants over here and your controllers, and they do you know, their own things in their own way. And unfortunately, that's sort of how they've grown up. And then when they go out and look for a system, that's how they look, they look, okay, well, we need this and then we need this. And then they don't they don't look at it all together as one business. And so we're trying to get people to focus on your a project business, like and look at it holistically. It is, it is you, you've got a beginning and an end. And if you're a project business, right, many project business out there that make money off of projects and doing it right, and being on budget and on time and all of the metrics that are so important, you would think that that would be just the absolute top of the heap when it comes to doing things. Right. Right. It's not because of the human component, and all these little fiefdoms that happen, it doesn't happen. Yeah, what exactly what it has to it has to be a human, it has to be an education, it has to be a human type of thing. To move that ball forward, it's like, that's it, we're done, we're going to go down this road, whether we like it or not, and everybody's going to participate. Is that right? Absolutely. I mean, the, the customers that come to us, obviously, kind of have this realization, at some point, to some extent, where, okay, this just isn't working any longer. Like they they've optimized these little silos as much as possible. But nothing more is happening, they get these little incremental, you know, productivity gains, maybe here and there, point 2%. And it's just not, it's not affected to the business overall. So it's about educating people on, let's look at the whole thing, and then bring it all together. And that's really going to give you that next, you know, order of magnitude improvement, really the technologies, the technology it is, and it always gets down to people. So this is great, this is wonderful. You've spoken to me, my heart is full of opportunities and joy. Tell us, what do we need to do? What are these actionable points? Let's say we want to begin this journey? What is it? Well, I think first you need to,</p>
<p>12:26</p>
<p>somebody needs to be the champion in the organization, whether that's, you know, the continuous improvement person, VP of, you know, the CIO or the CFO, likely, it needs to needs to look at this and look at as, okay, we need to, we need to make a change.</p>
<p>12:44</p>
<p>Because it's gonna take a lot of education, and in getting people on board with, with the change, because you know, a lot, they're just used to it. So and they have to look at it from a different perspective. Like, we got a lot of customers who come to us, and, you know, say the, you know, the, the CIO, or CFO is like, okay, we're gonna do this, but then you got, you know, even you know, you have people that are unwilling like or, you know, skeptical, you know, on the lower rungs, and they're like, well, we use this app, and I don't know if this is going to do what we want it to do. And then three months later, they're like, Oh, I get it. Like, it's about the whole company. And we're just, you know, everybody's able to see what's going on in real time. Now, I get it. So it's it, it is an education thing. So it's, it's sort of that mindset of, we're a project business, we need to think like a project business, and what does that mean? Okay, well, then we should look for a project is this system. Right? So that is, that's how people need to think. So just for clarification, how do I need to think like a project business? What is that? What does that look like? I know, it's not what I'm dealing with today. Whereas pay pay pay pay pay? This is okay. And it's like crazy and nutty. That's not a project mindset. What is that? Yeah, so it's really about</p>
<p>14:03</p>
<p>the center, like bringing projects to the center, a lot of companies see themselves, as you know, I'm an engineering company, or I'm a construction company, or I'm a, you know, a manufacturer. First, they see that first, and then they think, but you know, we do it as projects. So we need we do need some project stuff over here. So they and that's how project management applications have typically grown up, there's, you know, they've usually been used for, you know, internal projects where, you know, it's just,</p>
<p>14:32</p>
<p>you know, it's something you might you got some projects doing, you're trying to improve the business, and it's internal. And it's, it's sort of separate from net, the bottom line, really, but when you're a project based company, it is the bottom line, the projects drive, the business, the revenue, the margin, it's all right there in the project. So the project has to become center, and the way that they think and they approach their business and they approach their systems and how they support their business.</p>
<p>15:00</p>
<p>They have to think projects first. And then oh, that's true. I'm a project based company, I'm a project business. And at the same time, how do what what do I deliver with my projects, that's, that's the difference. So I deliver a deliver an airplane, or I deliver a turbine engine or I deliver, you know, steel modular frames, you know, that, you know, it doesn't quite matter.</p>
<p>15:28</p>
<p>To a degree, what the actual product is, or the services, if you do it by projects, you need to think projects first. See, it's interesting, you're changing my mindset on that. And so I get it, I get it from the perspective, if I'm a black and Veatch or a key wit, or a Jacobs, and they make a lot of money doing projects, that's what they do, we've been on this, we're going to do this project, and we're going to, you know, build this water treatment facility got it, there's a beginning, there's a middle, there's an end. And that end is a delivery date. and everything in between is the budget and executing, got it, I can put my arms around that type of a business as a project business. But I think what you're sharing with the listeners and myself is that even a manufacturer that's manufacturing, plastic pieces, whatever it might be internal to that business, our projects,</p>
<p>16:25</p>
<p>I might, I might have a project to optimize that line, I might have a project to do whatever. And and from that perspective,</p>
<p>16:35</p>
<p>I shift my mind from manufacturing to a project and therefore, that drives that optimizes, because I have a project mindset, even in those environments. Is that correct? Yeah, it can be used that way? Absolutely. Because you know, that, and this is sort of been happening for a while now in the industry that, you know, every everything's becoming project fat, you know, projectized, you know, so yeah, you know, people are trying to make that shift, I just think, you know, the project based companies that were where they are delivering through projects, those are the, those are the key people that need to think this way, they need to make that shift in mindset. And then the other other companies who, you know, they may not necessarily be project based, and how they deliver their products, but they can be if they, you know, think about it the right way. So when we you started talking about these silos, which I understand it, and we've all experienced, I know, listeners out there, you experienced, you're living it today, by the way. And one of the things that I think is a driver, is how do you create a unified process map to make sure everybody knows where they're at, and drive the process with drive the system? So there's that you have to have an incredible conversation around that. And everybody's got to shake their heads and say, Yep, that's the process now. Right, that's how we do it now. You know, and that's one of the great things about it is to you systemize, the process, you know, and around that the best practices of your company. And so it is standardized, you know, you can, you know, and that's part of what, you know, the AARP gives you, and it gives other companies in different industries, like, you know, retailers or distributors, distributors, or those high repetitive, you know, volume manufacturers, everything's in one system, and everything talks to one another. And it's all standardized. And that's what gives them huge amounts of efficiency and productivity. And that is what we're trying to do for project business. So you bring your projects inside and into a standardized system. Now you can actually, you gain a lot more control over the process. And but you also give it your you're maximizing productivity through that process, and that standardization. Alright, so what I hear is that I've got to have,</p>
<p>19:03</p>
<p>I've got to have the right individual in place to be able to be that champion, I'm going to have to go through the process, and agree that we're going to take these fiefdoms, these, these silos and begin to bring them together and we're going to be a project centric, focused business. Right now, that's a lot of pain. That's a lot of change. That's a lot of frustration and pushback and all of that stuff. That's why that champions there, you better have better have a strong shoulders, and then</p>
<p>19:41</p>
<p>I'm going through this pain, what's the benefit? What am I going to see? I'm already dealing with it I'm already losing money here. And it's it's it's the devil I know. Right? So there's, there's a lot of there's a lot of different ways to measure ROI on something like this. So I'll go through</p>
<p>20:00</p>
<p>Uh, sort of the two. One is obviously the hard costs. So for example, if you have, if you're using 10, I mean, we've had customers that come to us, and they're using 13, different systems, you know, different applications to do different things, resource management, project management, spreadsheets, scheduling, product lifecycle management, all that stuff, right, and they got all these different systems, well, if you can eliminate 13 different systems and bring it down to one, like that, already, is just those hard costs in in the licensing, but also, the main maintenance of all those systems is is dramatic, as far as cost savings. Now, that's, that's one. But the real big benefit, I think that's even harder to measure is is the</p>
<p>20:47</p>
<p>is the productivity, the visibility into what's going on the real time connections in your business that just speeds everything up, and makes it and increases quality of your processes and your delivery. So all that getting into the one system that does that. So for example, I had a customer, we had a customer come to us, and they didn't know they, they would do very long engagements with their customers probably three to five years on average. And they wouldn't know if they made money on that project. Till 90 days after it was totally complete. And</p>
<p>21:29</p>
<p>and it's just, it's, it's kind of amazing.</p>
<p>21:33</p>
<p>can operate a business like that, right? So now, you know with with the Adeaca PBA. It's real time they know exactly where they're where their project stands as far as profitability, revenue, everything at all times. And so now they know, you know, what they need to do how to make adjustments to make sure that they're going to make money on that project. I would imagine that this creates a business that has greater resiliency greater, given the fact that we had the pandemic, a lot of people, we're not in a good position. Now, I would imagine that there has to be conversation of business resiliency. And this to me speaks to resiliency. Now, with that said, I see the value proposition, I understand the the need to transform that business and have that conversation. Can I want to do it incrementally? Or is it a big bang?</p>
<p>22:28</p>
<p>It depends. Yeah, it can, it can be incrementally depending on where you're at. So for example, we work off the Microsoft MVP platform. So a lot of times they'll implement</p>
<p>22:43</p>
<p>us with with the platform at the same time. And that's that's a big job right there. But then it's really the the adoption that could be incremental. Yeah. Right. So yes, you've got, you know, like we talked about, you got these different silos, and you can't just get everybody use it now. Like, you need to focus on one, maybe bring them over, and then focus on the other one, bring them over it, there is a whole change management process that needs to happen like that. And, you know, it's it's, uh, yeah, I love that. Yeah. Because you want to minimize that, that frustration. You want adoption, you want to be able to bet Yeah, that's great. Get victories? You know, all of that good stuff. What are the roadblocks?</p>
<p>23:25</p>
<p>I think</p>
<p>23:27</p>
<p>there's, there's a couple. One is when they go and look for these typical, these project based companies, when they go and look for any RP or business system, they actually aren't looking for, you know, what project business automation they're looking for. They're looking for accounting, right? They're looking for accounting, some expense reporting, maybe some timesheets, that type of thing. They aren't. So the first challenge is to the roadblock is to open up the scope of what you're looking for. Because it's, you know, there is better a better way to do things out there. So you have to open up that scope, what you're looking for. And then the next challenge is just like I think we talked about earlier, getting that champion and getting getting everybody on board getting that buy in from the you know, from the executive level. Yeah. You know, that's, that's a common tale. With any,</p>
<p>24:22</p>
<p>as we're talking projects, it's a common tale with all projects, it seems like you better have the right champion in place to really push that, that project forward. Alright, let's, let's talk about how we get a hold of Matt, you might be speaking, something that's touched somebody's mind and heart and says, Yeah, I got to get a hold of Matt, how do we get ahold of you? Right, so just Adeaca.com, right, so just go to Adeaca.com. And we have lots of information, lots of documents you can do you can download as well. We have the project business automation blueprint, which sort of defines what we've been talking about.</p>
<p>25:00</p>
<p>gives you a little bit more in depth view of what PBA really is and what it can do for your company.</p>
<p>25:07</p>
<p>And then, you know, just reach out to us, we'll engage with you.</p>
<p>25:12</p>
<p>at any level, I mean, even if you're just looking for some information, you know, we're not here. We're here to educate, is what we're trying to do. That's really what we're trying to do. That's a beauty. All right, Matt, thank you very much for joining the industrial talk podcast and sharing this insights into project business automation, cool stuff, my friend.

<p>Welcome to the industrial talk podcast with Scott MacKenzie. Scott is a passionate industry professional dedicated to transferring cutting edge industry focused innovations and trends while highlighting the men and women who keep the world moving. So put on your hard hat, grab your work boots, and let's go Alright, welcome to the industrial talk podcast. Once again, we take a journey into why industry is so doggone cool. I'm telling you right now you're bold, you're brave, you dare greatly you solve problems. you innovate like nobody's business. You're changing lives and you're changing the world. That's why we on this podcast, celebrate you, the industrial hero, that's who you are. Thank you very much for what you do. And that's why we love you here on this platform. In a hot seat in the industrial talk hotseat, we got a gentleman by the name of john Hayes. He is the director of sales at a company called Balyo. And we're going to be talking about autonomous vehicles. So let's get going. Yeah, so there's some challenges that we are experiencing. And and of course, you know that the industrial talk platform is all about innovation and being able to apply that innovation, creativity to apply those solutions to industry to be able to be better, stronger, faster, the Steve Austin approach, and Balyo is no different. We're talking about autonomous vehicles. Now, before we get into that particular conversation, let's just have a just a recap of industrial talk to Dotto again, if I keep on preaching the necessity for education, it's out there, if I keep on preaching the necessity to collaborate, that the people are out on industrial talk, and they do want to collaborate, they do want to solve problems. And thirdly, if we're talking about innovation all the time, and how that innovation is applied to each industry and how they're using that in innovation to well make you better, provide greater customer service, everything in between. It makes sense. So Industrial Talk 2.0 is a focus on being able to make that process the education, the collaboration and the innovation process simpler, because we need to bring people together, we need to be able to have that conversation in a big way. And john Hayden and the wonderful team out of Balyo, they're just like right in the thick of it. And they've got solutions that are very, very important. Now, let's get on with the interview. So we're going to be talking a little bit about the over the period of times we're finding that that labor is a very tight commodity. And yet companies need to keep going. And companies need to keep their doors open. And company needs to continue to deliver good customer service and survive in this particular unique market that we find ourselves in. And of course, the conversation has to revolve around autonomous vehicles, what do we do within the warehouse? And how do we create a safer environment of course. So john and and team Balyo have a great solution. But we definitely talk about a lot of stuff that's associated with the market today. So with that said, Here's john. JOHN, welcome to the industrial talk, podcast absolute honor that you have joined and start to share your wisdom and insights with the listeners of industrial talk. How you doing?</p>
<p><strong>John Hayes&nbsp;</strong>03:35</p>
<p>Very well, thanks for having me on today. Thank you very, very cool,</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>03:38</p>
<p>man. I'm gonna enjoy this particular, you know, conversation, because it's really wrapped around and listeners, we're going to be talking a little bit about sort of that lack of labor that exists within today's market and sort of this push for autonomous or automatic vehicles. And then Fortunately for us, john with Balyo sort of understands that particular topic. But before we get going, give us a little background on who you are.</p>
<p><strong>John Hayes&nbsp;</strong>04:05</p>
<p>Well, thank you very much. I hope I have some knowledge and background I started in 1993. In the industry, yeah, I'm old. That's right. I'm getting gray.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>04:19</p>
<p>Hair I don't.</p>
<p><strong>John Hayes&nbsp;</strong>04:22</p>
<p>I started way back then started building vehicles and then went on site to install. And then from there, I was lucky enough to be kind of adopted by this industry. It was a very, very small industry in 93. And most of those folks that I work with moved on to other companies and as did I and jumped back in finishing after I got back from a project in Japan, and sent a resume to a company that happened to have probably four or five people that I was in Japan with that was another AGV company. And it just grew from there moved into sales. Then from sales and applications, engineering into More of a strategic role. Vice President of Sales and Marketing, I think that marketing is a strong component of what we do as well. And then Director of Sales here at Balyo. So I've been, unfortunately, I've been around if you say they've been around for quite some time through the HGTV concept, and now into the EMR world, and you know, some differences, the concepts are still the same, there is still moving product from point A to point B, there's a lot of technology that we talk about, you know, this is different how this works, and those sorts of things. But in the end, I think that customers or users really only care, and can really only afford to care that things get from point A to point B efficiently. And they don't have to worry about it, why put a system in, that's going to be more problems than it's worth.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>05:46</p>
<p>Yeah, for, for the listeners to define AGV.</p>
<p><strong>John Hayes&nbsp;</strong>05:50</p>
<p>And Mr. absolutely happy to do that. So he is he is kind of the catch all term that's been around for ages. And it stands for automatic guided vehicle. And you know, that goes back to the 50s. Really, a very early system, I believe Barrett was the first company that put one of those in on wires. And the fundamental principle of AGV is that path follows. So if you think about the earliest vehicle, it just ran, it had a sensor under the vehicle that looked for the wire in the floor, so the frequency frequency generator and for that frequency, but conceptually, they all do exactly that same thing today, even though most of them are virtual, using something called laser guidance using laser triangulation, they still do virtually the same thing. Now Amr is a new concept, which stands for automated or autonomous mobile robot. Really, it's a technology difference. And then it's highlighted by the way that it gets from point A to point B autonomous mobile robots path plan versus path follow. So that whole concept going back to the 50s with the wiring the floor, has been turned on this year. So use a similar technology, sensor base, much more sensor, which has a lot more sensors on the vehicle, but the vehicle itself maps its environment and then understands where it's at, and doesn't follow a defined path. It creates its own path now many companies constrain them but really that's the difference. One path plans a Mars path plan and agvs path follow. Now there are shades of grey and companies are starting to overlap AGV companies are being more Amr like but they in principle, that's really the what makes them different.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>07:34</p>
<p>So why is this important? What why the why is this tech important with the industry?</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>07:39</p>
<p>Well</p>
<p><strong>John Hayes&nbsp;</strong>07:42</p>
<p>agvs have historically been very custom. So most vendors would build a custom vehicle every single time for every single customer. And the integration was difficult installation and integration because it required that line in the floor, keeping in mind that it doesn't really exist that much anymore. But it meant a lot more time in the field. So they were expensive. At the root of it, they were expensive, is the shifting to a Amar began a few years back probably 10 or more years ago with respect to ACD vendors putting controls on that we haven't vehicles ever again, being vehicles being high street Ale, which is one of the companies we use lambda in Europe, those types of vehicles platforms and putting controls on them. And then the structure of going to a controls platform that didn't require infrastructure. So that wire in the floor or the targets or those sorts of things, that concept called slam and stands for simultaneous location and mapping, and almost masters of infrastructure for use that concept. What highlight said is the fact that it's inexpensive, because we don't need anything to Matt, I mean, we use the vehicle to map the facility, we don't need any infrastructure. And the systems become smarter and smarter. So as time went on, the systems become smarter and smarter, the tech gets better. But there's a trade off, as with anything, right? That new tech is still It has great promise. But it's not as stable. It's not as accurate, generally speaking, and it's not as fast as AGV technology. So it's almost like going to you take the car concept. You've got gas powered cars, right. And you could have a drag race gas powered car, you know, like the john Porsche concept of drag car. You can have an electric car. Obviously electric car is more technologically advanced. But right now there's no drag race, electric car, maybe in the future, right? So to draw an analogy, that's kind of where we're at You can, you can have a Cadillac of a system that, you know, you can trust with an AGP concept. We'll just do the job all day long, it's a little more expensive, maybe in some ways a little, you know, maybe has a little bit more maintenance because of the awkward equipment. But you know, it works. And then there's the other side. And then there's the far side is the tech of the situation, the the tech, the Amr, Amr tech in and of itself, with respect to some of the applications suitability is great, because it doesn't require high accuracy, and it doesn't require high speed. And when I say that application will make it more clear, picking applications where people walking along, or being what we call, picking those say, in an area in the vehicles will come to them. And they will place something in the bins, that doesn't require an awful lot of speed. It doesn't require an awful lot of accuracy. A lot of integration work. But you know, that's expected across the spectrum. But when you start to get into the middle ground, and then moving over to speed and efficiency, that's where the Tech has promised. But it's not totally there yet. So you know, you're just not quite yet. Okay, this</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>11:17</p>
<p>is all great. Well, what problems are we solving? What What is the problem that's demanding this?</p>
<p><strong>John Hayes&nbsp;</strong>11:24</p>
<p>Well, taking tech out of it, and let's just look at it as an industry. Historically, going back many years, the problem we were solving was one of our ally, it was one where you erred on the side of the company every single time, which was, I would theoretically talk to someone about, well, we could take a person off of a forklift, and that would save you X number of dollars a year. And in order to do this project, you will need to remove this many people. And you will get what you call her rate. Typical hurdle rates in the US are 18 months or two years. So it's always been at that point about ROI. And it's completely changed. So what are we solving today, I'm driving down the highway and you'll see manufacturing plants and distribution plants with banners hanging outside now hiring. And what we're solving is an inability for businesses to find people to move product. And it is a it's a real problem. And it's one that exists this move the needle for this type of equipment, it's it's wildly popular now used to be new people were looking at moving around autonomously and would back away like what in the world am I seeing here is becoming more adopted. The ability just to get Labor has eclipsed nearly any other reasons, purchases, equipment, safety is still a reasoning, certainly. But it's the ability just to find someone. And then when you do so we did a project a couple of years back for a large shipper. And everybody knows who the big two are, it was one of those. And they said that, you know, we're looking at this project because our turnover is over 100%</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>13:11</p>
<p>hold a turnover a people,</p>
<p><strong>John Hayes&nbsp;</strong>13:14</p>
<p>turnover of people over 100%. So what what they say, what they said they were seeing is that one of the larger companies put a put a warehouse distribution center and down the road, and people were getting paid a little bit more problem and went down the street. And you can't blame a forklift operator, he's making X number of dollars an hour, if he's going to get a nickel dime, quarter dollar an hour more, he's going to go down the street, that's what's going to happen. But you know, one of the things that I found funny is they would say, Well, you know, eventually they come back because we pay them to come back here, but didn't have you know, you have resources bouncing back and forth and those things. And when you think about trying to run a business, when your primary concern is moving product from either a manufacturing line or through a distribution center, your primary resource is the movement is that person or that equipment. So it's gotten to the point where when you have that risk, you have to find a way to mitigate it. And that's really what we're what it's coming down to. So that I think that's the problem that we're solving today. It's interesting.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>14:24</p>
<p>Yeah, it's interesting, because I would imagine a lot of these distribution centers are not located where there's a big pool of skilled individuals. So that's also a problem, correct?</p>
<p><strong>John Hayes&nbsp;</strong>14:40</p>
<p>It's not, you know, it's funny. If you think about a forklift driver, we don't need a Harvard graduate to drive a forklift and god knows what the savvy ones are the ones that do look at the guy who just moved across the street, and take that Our our network over there. And and the ones that stay. And frankly, any forklift driver, when you look at the safety aspect, the number of injuries for forklift drivers is quite high. Simply because driving a forklift is not the most gentle thing on your body, you know, you're driving, in some cases, a 10,000 pound vehicle around, that's bouncing off of, you know, expansion joints and holes in the floor, or maybe running into things. So you have a lot of injury, you have a lot of those things, which obviously drives your costs up for, you know, insurance as well as workers comp and those things. So, you know, it's even though they may not be, you know, the Harvard grads of the world, they're getting hurt. And if you can find a way to not get hurt, then that's obviously a beneficial thing. And I think that my message has always been, you know, we don't want to put people out of work, what we want is a benefit, mutually beneficial position for these folks, I think, at least I think I would, I don't know that I wouldn't want a mindless job, or I was driving back and forth. Some of these distribution centers are 200 or 2 million square feet. Yeah, they're driving, you know, a half a mile. And by the end of this their day, they're, they're thinking about anything, but what's going on in the plant. So I think that having the ability to move folks into a position where they can do stuff with their mind versus just driving a vehicle over and over and over again, the same path, can you imagine, you know, eight hours a day, you drive the same path over and over and over again, we mean, people run into things because they just get tired mentally, they get tired, worn out at the end of the day, mentally more than physically.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>16:50</p>
<p>And I would imagine the same thing exists, there's a greater demand concept.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>16:55</p>
<p>It's there's an increased demand to I I see it out there, that there's just more movement of products. And this, this, this logistics backbone is becoming more and more important, and creating more and more demand on that. That professional that is just driving that, that forklift around. And I like the point that you talk about safety, you're absolutely spot on. I think that there's business continuity.</p>
<p><strong>John Hayes&nbsp;</strong>17:25</p>
<p>Huge.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>17:27</p>
<p>And and, and you're sure you're hitting on some great, great points. With With that said,</p>
<p><strong>John Hayes&nbsp;</strong>17:33</p>
<p>What, what's,</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>17:35</p>
<p>what's the biggest pushback here? I mean, it makes sense.</p>
<p><strong>John Hayes&nbsp;</strong>17:40</p>
<p>Well, it's still a bit of black magic, and it is still a bit expensive, um, the pushback has been reduced greatly, mostly because of what's been termed the, you know, the Amazon effect. And I am part of it, and I bet you're a part of it as well. We had a conversation the other day, and you say, go get these headphones, because they're, you know, they're gonna work very well. But guess where I'm from? I'm from Amazon. There's an Amazon distribution center, I'm outside with Virginia, it's more than 50 miles from here. And with the truck stuff that we talked about a few minutes ago, the over the road, trucking that they can only do eight hours a day. Well, they pop distribution centers up around larger cities. So you're right, that the regular desire and need for automation means more people, more people harder to get. So by proxy, the automated equipment becomes more and more in demand and favorable. I think that it's it's not black magic any longer. The costs have come down. But even so, if you look at the paradigm, us versus Europe, the hurdle rate, or the internal rate of return for Europe, in many cases is five years or more. In the US early on, in conversations about this equipment, we're looking at 18 months to two years, which means that really we're looking at two or three shift operations and sometimes for it's a no brainer for three or four shift operations just makes because we're providing the vehicles that operate on all four shifts with no people if you thought about that very same operation, you have four times the number of people so the numbers start to make make a lot of sense. I think that we're personally I think this will start to make a lot of more beneficial use. We talked about this internally Balyo the other day, you know how do we kind of work towards being a more we're all responsible company I guess is the best way to say it. My view is when we can take this equipment and mom and pop companies can have Third, to take a piece of automated equipment and grow their business, then they can compete with and I don't want to, say, the Amazons of the world, but I think you kind of see where I'm going with it, they can grow their business without having to add the expense of, you know, multi shift operations they can grow and, you know, moving people again into this more mutually beneficial roles, you know, running a machine or working on things, or there's things that use your mind when when we can take this concept and it becomes less the purview of Fortune 100 companies, and becomes more available to mom and pop. I think that everybody's going to be a lot happier with what with what we can do in this world. But you know, it's still expensive equipment, expensive, the sensor basis, something else,</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>20:48</p>
<p>but you're getting there. I mean, yeah, continue.</p>
<p><strong>John Hayes&nbsp;</strong>20:55</p>
<p>Yeah, the tech, when we talked about Amr, originally, you talked about the Gulf of differences, you know, the cost for EMRs are less expensive than average. And almost all cases, and the costs are coming down. Now, one of the things that we're seeing is, the average used to be kind of built jack of all trades. And that was the expectation that I could buy an ATV and it would do just anything, you know, where it could pick from the floor and put something in a rack 30 feet tall. But if you reset your expectations of what automation can do, and you're smart, start small. This stuff can be inexpensive. So you know, you pick something very simple to automate, you don't have to start. And frankly, I recommend that you don't start with a 3030 vehicle system that's super complex, the rapid pace of change within your organization would be head snap, and you would you you entire organization would be turned upside down quickly. The thing that the new tech is allowing us to do is do things like proof of concepts and those things where we can come in and put a single vehicle system in and show you in your organization, how that works, what the process changes might need to be and how to get used to them before rolling out more and more vehicles. So most all of our aging VA Mr. Brother, brother in reports to the MH I used to be called MH I think it's called MH II now material handling industry of America. And so the numbers used to be represent we would all report our numbers. In on average, the average AGV system was about five to seven vehicles. And the reason for that was just the three line items outside of the hardware, which was engineering, installation and integration. That was the time on site really. And you had to amortize that over the vehicle cost and five to seven just happened to be the sweet spot where it started to make return on investment sense, right? The new tech allows us to put vehicles in for a much lower number so people can now afford to put a single vehicle system in and learn from it. So the tech is pushing all of us forward. It really is.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>23:04</p>
<p>I like it and the what stands out would be that incremental approach, even proof of concept it I think that's great. It doesn't have to be big bang, you don't have to dig a trench of some sort. It's it doesn't have to be that complex. Now we're gonna have to wrap this conversation up. JOHN, how does somebody get a hold of you?</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>23:26</p>
<p>I think the best case scenario would be to reach out via the internet. That's Balyo comm www.meliar.com. And you'll be able to reach out to us as a company there. My personal email address is certainly available. That's john dot Hayes ha ye s Balyo COMM And I'd be more than happy to help. I tend to take a more consultative approach to everything that I do so pretty little to salesy with me. So I'm more than happy to just chat with people if it's something they'd like to talk about.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>23:53</p>
<p>And if you type in john Hayes, if this just blows me away on on LinkedIn, you've got john Hayes. I was looking at him going, and I saw john Hayes 7953 blah, blah. No, that's impressive.</p>
<p><strong>John Hayes&nbsp;</strong>24:17</p>
<p>Right.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>24:18</p>
<p>All right, a couple of things that I want to put before you listeners, once again, I love the concept, and we've got the problem of up labor, we've got to be able to look at it from that. From the technology perspective, I think Valley has got an interesting value proposition. I like the fact that we're talking a little bit about the incremental approach. I think the future's bright when it comes to this and and I think if you're driving down the costs, and and trying to have that mom and pop mindset, I think you've got a great value proposition. I like it.</p>
<p><strong>John Hayes&nbsp;</strong>24:54</p>
<p>Thank you very much. All right, we're gonna wrap it up. I really appreciate you. Yeah, we're</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>24:58</p>
<p>gonna wrap it up on the other side. You're not go away. We will be right back. You're listening to the industrial talk Podcast Network. All right, that is john Hayes i t y e s and you definitely can go out to john hay. His Lincoln stack card is all out there and you know what? It is truly john Hayes h A y e. s. Balyo is the company go to be a lyo.com find out more about how those that solution and what they're doing. Balyo can definitely help you and your manufacturing process as well as your warehousing stuff. It's everything that's john right there, man. I'm looking at it as that card right there. JOHN, good looking guy with the beard can't miss. Alright, once again, we are talking about industrial talk to Dotto. This is where you're going to go this is where you're going to go. You're going to go to educate, you're going to go to collaborate and you're going to glue to innovate. We are all bound together without a doubt. We have ties, every industry whatever it is, let me Valley Oh man, that's important stuff and they have ties to the warehousing and and the manufacturing world. important stuff. Reach out to him. All right. Thank you very much. Be bold, be brave, dare greatly you change the world. Thank you very much for joining the industrial talk podcast. We will be right back</p>

<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>00:04</p>
<p>Welcome to the industrial talk podcast with Scott MacKenzie. Scott is a passionate industry professional dedicated to transferring cutting edge industry focused innovations and trends while highlighting the men and women who keep the world moving. So put on your hard hat, grab your work boots, and let's get right Welcome to the industrial talk podcast absolute honor that you have joined this platform that celebrates you, you industrial hero, you're bold, you're brave, you dare greatly. You solve problems, you innovate, because you're innovation issed. And you're changing lives and you're changing the world. That's why we celebrate you on this particular podcast.</p>
<p>00:42</p>
<p>You know, what?</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>00:43</p>
<p>industry has changed so rapidly? It's an exciting time. And if you're thinking about getting into a career into something that is exciting, yeah. Industry, is it because we are talking innovation like nobody's business? Now in the hot seat, gentlemen, that by the name of Dean bushi, he is with Hitachi America, he is the transportation mobility shmi, or subject matter expert there. And I got to tell you, if there's a topic that needs to be discussed, it is definitely that one, let's get cracking. So, so what's great about this? So what's cool is that Dean massive skills, massive skills, stack card is just dripping with skills. And he we talk about connected transportation systems. Now, you're saying to yourself, Scott, why would we want to do that? And it's everything moves by some form of transportation? And can we improve upon that? Oh, yeah. Oh, absolutely. We can, people like Dean, Hitachi America, and others, they're really exploring the innovation that is needed for that particular next generation, that ability to be able to focus on a customer 100% in their transportation, in their logistics in their supply chain solution. And it just gets down to that connected capability to be able to see exactly what's going on. It's exciting, and it can't be done. This is not pie in the sky stuff. This is not something that you're gonna say that it's just not gonna happen, we're gonna still deal with it, no, this this, whatever we call this next normal, has really created a sort of a focus on some of the challenges that take place within our transportation system and the need to be able to bring in electrification, the need to be able to think about autonomous vehicles. Just in the last mile, there are so many subjects, and and topics to discuss in this particular, you know, if you look at a transportation, supply chain, you know, logistics, it's all there and connected. Before we get into it. Just FYI, I want to be able to just sort of once again, plant your seed, the industrial talk is all about education. Got it. Dean's right here, educating, it's important, you got to stay ahead of that. You got to collaborate, you don't have Dean and company, they collaborate with a number of other companies to be able to come up with solutions that truly meet customer's needs. And then definitely innovate. The future is truly an innovation as type of platform it it really pushes the envelope, and it's an exciting time. The industrial talk platform is sort of going through a an upgrade, shall we say an industry industrial talk to Dotto, that means we want to be able to facilitate that education and get the greatest and latest information on whatever you want to talk about that innovation that's out there that will make you a better company that will make you a better professional, and to be able to collaborate with these individuals that will say, Hey, we want to do it with you. We want to be able to create and change the world by collaborating and then finally, deploy an innovation, deploying innovation that truly transforms the world. That's what industrial talk is all about. That's what the two dot o focus is going to be on. There's a lot of great stuff out there a lot of wonderful conversations to have. And I'm telling you right now, this guy right here on this side of the microphone is absolutely jacked. All right, deep transportation, mobility, subject matter expert. And I mean, we just scratched the surface in this conversation. And he's the go out to a stat guide. It's it's deemed dash bushing. That's bu sh e y. Find them reach out to him. He wants to connect. And he is an absolute wealth of knowledge. And I'm telling you, once again, we're just scratching the surface because when we start talking about connected capabilities, we're talking about utilities. We're talking about the necessity for cybersecurity. It just never stops. Alright, let's get cracking. Enjoy the conversation with Dean bushi. Dean, welcome to the industrial talk podcast. Thank you very much for finding time in your schedule to talk to the listeners. How are you doing today?</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>05:13</p>
<p>I'm doing fantastic. Thank you for having me on the show.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>05:16</p>
<p>I love it. And he's with Hitachi America. He is a subject matter expert when we start talking about transportation and mobility, but I'm not going to talk about it you're going to talk about, give us a little 411 on who Dean is, and where do you come from and why you're such an incredible professional.</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>05:31</p>
<p>Sure, I've got a military background, I spent 25 years in the military as a pilot and manner leader.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>05:40</p>
<p>Hola, Hola. Hola. Hola. You just can't gloss over that. I'm looking at your stat card out on LinkedIn. And I'm still trying to find pilot. And that would have been just really great to include there because I would be just all geeked out now. Now I'm geeked out now You caught me off guard because I'd rather talk about that.</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>05:58</p>
<p>Well, if you want to talk about flying airplanes, I love flying airplanes. I went to the Air Force Academy and I went down to pilot training in Arizona, I spent three different tours overseas, flew seven different airplanes, got some combat time, flew unmanned aircraft. So we did a lot of different things in the military, which prepared me for long range transportation, a lot of the time I spent was in C fives the biggest airplane we have. So we were we were talking about how to optimize the flow of goods and services and people. introduction into my own transportation, mobility. And then I got a PhD in computer science, went back to the Air Force Academy, taught back there a little bit. But then they put me out in unmanned aircraft where we were trying to have the aircraft deployed overseas, and the pilots back in Dallas, or in Las Vegas, or in Washington, wherever the pilots may be. So we were trying to optimize the flow of information back and forth. The video and the command links via satellite to airplanes that were long range a bunch of different places. So</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>07:07</p>
<p>I have to was there ever a delay? Like I mean, if you've got that distance, if you're, you're flying over, you know seas, and you've got your command here and in North America, that was there ever, like an information delay?</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>07:19</p>
<p>Yeah, there's three quarters of a second delay each way. So when I move this way, with the stick three quarters of a second later, the airplane will do that. But it takes three quarters of a second to come back for me to realize the airplane did that. So it's about a second and a half delay via satellite, which makes it really tough to land via satellite. That's usually why you have a local unit that captures the airplane and lands, the airplane locally.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>07:49</p>
<p>That's a whole nother conversation that I would love to have. I think that's just but we can't because this is industrial talk. And we got to talk about transportation and mobility and the challenges associated with it as I push that whole other subject to the side, and I'm not very happy with that. Thank you very much, Dean, appreciate you catching me off guard with that. Sure. Anyway. A lot of conversations with a lot of professionals that have been on the on the the industrial talk podcast, talk a little bit about that, that the challenge is going forward mobility wise. In the transportation, the challenge is this whole conversation about automated vehicles and autonomous autonomous vehicles, all of that is just this big soup of interest. But how do you how do you make? Oh, how do you make sense of it? Where do you go? What do you start first, Dean?</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>08:42</p>
<p>Yeah, that's an interesting discussion. So I view transportation as going back to the old movie planes, trains, and automobiles. And it's really moving people and goods across all of those spectrums. So if you get focused just on making a car drive itself, or making a train super efficient, and on schedule, I think you're missing the boat really for, for me, it's about getting you or a package from its warehouse to its final destination. And then if that involves a lot of different modes of transportation, whether it's the delivery guy, which is last mile, whether it's putting it on a train, putting on a ship, putting it on one of my airplanes, and I'm going global, all of that comes into factor. So you as the customer and we talked about a little bit of yo care where the package started, you just want it tomorrow. Well, that's a whole transportation system. That's got to be integrated, optimized, examined, and then from a company like Hitachi, we're really into optimizing the flow of information and goods and services. That's where we can come in and make a big difference. But it's it is an information question, right? It really is.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>09:58</p>
<p>I mean, I think the The The, the, the infrastructure and sure it could be optimized, but it's really a collection of data and that that ability to be able to decide on what that data means, right?</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>10:12</p>
<p>You are correct. And you would actually maybe, or maybe not be surprised that how a lot of this information does not flow smoothly. There are different API. So if I'm trying to get information from a cell phone, and an autonomous vehicle and a train, and maybe a traffic stoplight, all of those have sensors, they're all information providers. But those those if that information doesn't actually talk to each other real smoothly. So the key to make a connected transportation system, and that's really where my that's it, that's</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>10:43</p>
<p>the that's the term Go ahead.</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>10:45</p>
<p>That's, that's the secret sauce. So connected transportation system, making a smart, which is what you were hinting at, is getting all those various data sources to one communicate. And then when you need and then to, you need to adjust them at three, you need to make smart decisions for you. If you're the customer, I need to be able to answer questions you may have like, how do I optimize the flow of this traffic through this neighborhood? Or how do I optimize the flow of my palette from beginning to end and its journey?</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>11:17</p>
<p>See, this is where it seems like a huge challenge. I mean, it's massive, because if you just go out to the the Interstate, you see trucks, you know, you go to the rail yard, you see a bunch of I mean, it's just full of stuff, and we move stuff all over the world. Right. And, and in that network, there's there's inefficiencies. Where do you Where do you just sort of, from your perspective, where do you just start like, with that incremental approach? Yes, we got this. Yes, we're talking about this, but let's just start here. Greatest bang for the buck? How do you answer that? I don't know how you start? I mean, who brought up? You brought up street lamps? And I'm like, yeah, you could, you could do that, too. You know, I mean, please?</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>12:04</p>
<p>Well, I really think you need to, from a business perspective, you need to focus on a customer. So if if my customer, for instance, we have a customer in Florida, just outside of Orlando, I was there a couple weeks ago, and they've got a private community. And they're we're really interested in the smooth, seamless flow of people through their community. Well, that brings up one use case. Now we've defined this whole transportation system gets really I don't say simplified, but it gets focused on how do we integrate their micro transit, micro transportation, which is the shuttles and the scooters, and small bikes to their collective transportation, they have autonomous vehicles that are going to the community. That is their bailiwick. So I focus on that and we get into a use case problem, then we talk to you as a customer and say, What are your pain points? What are you not doing? Well, nothing talks to one another. And then we started exploring, okay, well, that's a pain point. And maybe Hitachi can help you do all of it, but most likely Hitachi will not. And we found that it's better for us to say, all right, if we can define the pain point, we can start to evolve solutions with you, we co create solutions with the customer, and then say, well, maybe we need to bring Intel them. Or maybe we need to bring Amazon Web Services with their cloud storage devices. And now we have the power of Hitachi, Intel and Amazon Web Services, jointly coming with a solution to a problem that you as a customer, once you get a solution, then we have a joint solution. That's probably from our perspective, business wise, repeatable. Now we have a solution that maybe Las Vegas will want, and Miami will want and San Francisco will want.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>13:51</p>
<p>Yeah, you bring up a good point about the necessity to collaborate, I don't think and it's not a slam on on Hitachi or any other company. I think the use cases are that complex. And you end up in and and for a company to be able to say, yeah, we could do it soup to nuts, I don't think so it requires, you know, that collaborative desire and mindset. I just think it is. And that's the right way to do it.</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>14:22</p>
<p>Another one we're trying to tackle another use case, for example, examining is multimodal at a freight level. So if you think of a ship going across the ocean, it's got all these pallets on it. It's got all these cargo bins on it. It has a bill of lading. Well, when it gets to the port, there's a separate system that gets it off of the boat and puts it on a train. It needs a new bill of lading because those systems don't talk to one another. But when it gets to the trucking yard where you're trying to truck it, it's got a different bill of lading. So this multi modal, smooth flow of goods and services. requires, it sounds really simple. But it's not. You need sensors that tell you where the packages are, you need to optimize scheduling routes, you need companies that have great sensors, companies that have cloud based storage. And no one company can do that. So now we start to collaborate and come up with some solutions, Interim solutions as</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>15:20</p>
<p>we're moving towards an optimized solution, these the necessity to generate new bill of ladings is there a solution or a use case that says, hey, from from overseas manufacturing, all the way to destination, whatever it might be, whatever, whatever that that is there a way of being able to consolidate that, that solution that technology, the bill of lading, or just,</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>15:50</p>
<p>I love its legacy, obviously, a lot of it is has been in place. And once we start digitizing, and making everything less manual and less paperwork wise, you're going to start seeing a lot of solutions. And I really enjoy Amazon, I like working with them. They're they're coming up with solutions based on commerce. So money is driving them to optimize their solutions. They're getting supplies from all over the world. And you may or may not like, like the size and scope of their business model, but their business model is driving innovation based on money. And the flow of goods. So</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>16:31</p>
<p>it's, it's quite successful. And we had this conversation prior to the podcast, and I called it the Amazon effect. And it really because they focus on that commerce. And definitely the the customer because they know that the customer's impatient, I want my like, go out there. That's, that's, that's an interesting challenge. And they deliver. You know, now all of a sudden, you get the little vans out there, the Amazon vans, they're doing the last mile they're doing whatever that is. And I I mean, I can't help but like it.</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>17:12</p>
<p>And, and as much as it sounds like it's you ordered on Amazon Amazon's website, it's an Amazon product delivered by Amazon fulfillment centers to your house, you bought it from a bunch of different companies. You had a shipping company, you had to have the ports, maybe you had the government involved as far as clearing those islands that come in, you have local communities you had have roads that were able to deliver to your house, maybe you had connected communications amongst the communities. So all of that happened, even though it looked like Amazon to you all of that happened because you have collaborative systems</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>17:48</p>
<p>where Yeah, and and now. And now if I don't, if I don't get a notification that my drivers 10 stops away, I'm frustrated.</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>17:59</p>
<p>I'm ready to cancel my order.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>18:01</p>
<p>Like, what's going on? What kind of service is this? So with that said, I mean, there's just, it sounds like there's a lot of great and wonderful opportunities to truly great bottom line value, great customer service, great. All of the stuff that that you do so desire. Where do you see it going? Because it's not going to stop? Right? It's just not nobody's going to say, All right. We tried this whole supply chain thing that we're done. We're going to go back to the old way. Where do you see going there?</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>18:37</p>
<p>Yeah, I really see a big I wouldn't I'm some people would say it's a disrupter. I'd say it's an enhancer, when you start talking about the electrification of vehicles. Ah, I'm gonna I'm gonna leave alone, airplanes and maybe electric in the future, but cars transportation systems, when when you talk about the electric infrastructure that's going to be required to support large scale fleets that become electrical. I mean, you start at the automobile, OEM manufacturers, those plants all are producing internal combustion engines. Those plants need to be modified and optimized to produce Evie vehicles. Is the battery going to be separate from the vehicle? You can have battery manufacturers and vehicle or is for get a pretty spot? Then how do you charge these vehicles? Where do you charge these vehicles? And what is the impact on the grid? Are we going to have an issue where everybody plugs in at five o'clock and all of a sudden, the energy grid gets a hit? Probably? Yeah. What are you gonna do with all the gas stations when you start earning an electric vehicle? You may you in California or New Orleans or me in North Carolina, we may be able to find a charge station. What happens to all those old gas stations they have to be converted? And then how do you get those systems to talk to one another right now nothing talks to one another. I think That's why I say it's an enhancer. It's disruptive. But when you go to electric vehicles and electric charging stations, there's a great opportunity to optimize based on the communication among those stations and communication among vehicles.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>20:14</p>
<p>The and correct me if I'm wrong, the dean, the electrification of these vehicles is key for the autonomous, right. It's it sort of, it just sort of goes hand in hand. So I've got these automated vehicles out there, I might not have the resources to be able to deliver the truck. But is that is that it has to be electrification.</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>20:38</p>
<p>Correct. I spent a year with voyage on autonomous vehicle company. And they did. They had a hybrid. They had a Chrysler Pacifica, which was a hybrid vehicle. But everything about the vehicle had to be electrified, because you had a massive computer in the back, right? You had the brains were in the back of the computer, or the car that were making split second decisions based on sensors, which were all electric. So there had to be a very large electrical source of power. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, if you start making more than more than autonomous, autonomous is fun, but autonomous and then connected, where it actually could transmit and receive data via Wi Fi or LTE or 5g as it comes out. Now you're making now you get me really excited. It's where the future is here. See,</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>21:32</p>
<p>that's, that's right in line with your statement of connected transportation systems. That's it. It's people like you and others who who think about this, you know, night and day, which is pretty cool. Thank you for doing that. Because, but for people like me and others, it's it's a, it's a pretty cool food future. But we as consumers, yeah, we take it for granted. I take it for granted that I'm going to get my package out there, I don't see the nuts and bolts into how that sausage is made to get that package to my front store. And now now somebody takes a picture of it, it says this is where it's at. It's like, yeah, there. There it is. I mean, it just keeps going up. And it's just little things like that.</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>22:13</p>
<p>When you Yeah, well, this is almost for soccer, because you asked me how I was doing at the beginning of the podcast, and how do I like to talk to you, America, I love it. Because Beverly said, Dean, we want you to stay on top of the transportation industry, we want you to stay on top of mobility, which means that my job is to make sure I'm on the cutting edge of all the innovations. And it's it's huge and it affects every phase of life. I think it's one of the biggest enablers or disruptors, whatever you want to call it, transportation is going to affect everything. Obviously CODEL shot a lot down, and it's going to change transportation. But if we can enable people to be able to move about cities, and we enable the movement of goods and services, and we connect all of this, that's just really exciting to me, because you're making a difference in people's lives. You're not, you're not just doing something to deliver whatever you're making a difference.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>23:06</p>
<p>Here's a question that I don't know if there's an answer to it. But let's say Amazon's Amazon, Amazon is going to have the capital to be able to do whatever it really wants to do and to be able to innovate the way they want to innovate, to benefit themselves, the shareholders, whatever it might be, whatever that driver is, but what about, what about the mid to small companies that price point? How do they How do they participate in this this brave new world?</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>23:35</p>
<p>I think there's lots of opportunities. I do a little teaching on the side to computer science students. And we talk about several facets on how you can get into this, whether it's the passenger experience in the vehicle, maybe you're designing a new infotainment system or a connected system where that if you're driving by a coffee shop, you get a pop up of a coupon on your phone saying, Hey, I recognize that you're virtually in front of a coffee shop. Maybe it's the Eevee design or designing batteries, and you're doing a computer design of what we would call a digital twin, a simulation. Maybe you're helping with the mobility phase of it. There's just there's just so many avenues for people to get in this game. And yes, digital companies tend to expand and they can tract and then merge very quickly. But so do computer science technicians they they they spent a year at a company and they're going to a next company and they're doing amazing thing. So it's really exciting time to be a technologist in this Evie changing world because there are so many paths and the small companies</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>24:49</p>
<p>is where it is the AI and yeah, no I agree with you 100% on that that's true and it's the it appears that though it's true Blue Ocean opportunity. And it's it's not even bound by your imagination you can, if you can think it, you could probably execute upon it, you might might be able to find somebody to help you work through it. That's pretty good. But you know what you just said it's sort of Minority Report ish, the movie, where, where are you driving by? It's like, hey, look at that this coffee shop has something on for sale. Hey, hey, you need a shirt. You were talking about the shirt? Here's a shirt for sale right next to you. Yeah,</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>25:31</p>
<p>it's, you know, it's you. We even haven't even touched on cybersecurity.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>25:38</p>
<p>That's a whole nother thing. Transportation Systems.</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>25:42</p>
<p>Somebody's got to be smart enough. And hopefully, it's the kids that I'm teaching. They're smart enough to start developing systems that are secure, robust and reliable, and have backup systems. Because when you connect to things, there's a sort of intrusion. There could be</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>26:01</p>
<p>sort of intrusion. that's a that's a whole nother conversation. I like the conversation about cybersecurity, because I think that it's, it's one of those topics that nobody wants to have, but everybody has to have it.</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>26:15</p>
<p>When it's working fine. I</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>26:16</p>
<p>just don't want to know when to do</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>26:18</p>
<p>Right. Exactly. I don't come to me and let me hear my dirty laundry and and say that, no, it's it. That's a whole nother conversation. And yes, if you know somebody within Hitachi America that wants to talk about cybersecurity. I'm all ears. We're all headphones. We're all my</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>26:35</p>
<p>Yeah, I definitely have some</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>26:36</p>
<p>people that would love to talk to you because it is a great topic. And it's like you said and I think that we just there's that human element, the gravity of it is so it's it's like overwhelming. And and the same thing in the world of cyber in those same thing with the this whole digital journey. It's from me, simple mind. It's overwhelming, but it's it's exciting at the same time.</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>27:06</p>
<p>One, one particular use case that's a little bit outside of mobility. But I've tended to become a utility infield player for Beverley just whatever she needs help on I I plugged myself into. We were designing some advanced energy management systems for a town outside of Orlando. And basically it's grid, a grid load balancing, if you think about what happened in Dallas have a demand and peak demand cycles. So connecting buildings, what are the the energy source, the grid sources traditional grid, or its solar or floating voltaic cells, or whatever, you want to put Eb charging stations, connecting buildings and parking garages so that they manage the load much better? Building says, hey, I've got a real high load and the feeder from the Orlando utility company says, hey, that's a pretty high spike. Some of the other buildings can come in and go Okay, well, we have excess capacity. Yeah. Well, so that introduced a connected system, we immediately had to go to our cybersecurity people and say, all right, we need to have you part of this project to say, Hey, there could be intrusion since we're communicating wires.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>28:20</p>
<p>I love it. It's exciting. And it just seems like the the speed at which all of this is happening is is lightning. It because you guys just sort of sit around, I don't know, hang around the water cooler. And you know, chirp about how we can digitally transform everything in the world.</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>28:40</p>
<p>I really wish I was 20 years old to get it because I think the next 20 years is going to be amazing.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>28:46</p>
<p>That's exciting. Well, let's put it this way. We're gonna have to wrap it up. However, how do how does somebody get ahold of the dean</p>
<p><strong>Dean Bushey&nbsp;</strong>28:54</p>
<p>told me at Hitachi, so I will provide you a my email address. It's not pushy.hs. Guy calm. I'm out on the web. I've got several different places where you can see my writings on Hitachi data, LinkedIn, you can find me on LinkedIn, but usually great way to get a hold of me.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>29:16</p>
<p>Which is pretty cool. Because you've got Dean dash bushing, which is very, you were an early adopter to LinkedIn and must be because because I'm sure there's other Dean Bushey.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>29:27</p>
<p>I live in the digital world.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>29:30</p>
<p>It's it's dead sexy. I'm telling you. It is and I, I geek out. I'll be the first to do that. But Thank you, Dean for finding time in your busy schedule. And, and sharing with us a slew of information and insights. I'm overwhelmed. Now. You're a disrupter. That's what you are doing. Alright, thank you, Scott. Appreciate it. All right.

<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>30:16</p>
<p>All right, a big, big kudos to Dean Bushey. That's b u s h e y madstad card out there on LinkedIn, told you the information in the content would be just absolutely to die for. Man, I'm telling you. I'm just taking the innovation. And where's it going?</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>30:35</p>
<p>What does it look like? What</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>30:36</p>
<p>did we can look like in 10 years? Not a clue. Like guarantee it's going to be different. And it's because of people like Dean Petacci, America and others, pushing the envelope, wanting to collaborate. Definitely want to innovate. All there. All right, reminder.

<p>Welcome to the industrial talk podcast with Scott MacKenzie. Scott is a passionate industry professional dedicated to transferring cutting edge industry focused innovations and trends while highlighting the men and women who keep the world moving. So put on your hard hat, grab your work boots, and let's go. All right, let's go. Welcome to the industrial talk podcast absolute, as you know, an honor that you've joined this platform that celebrates industry heroes each and every day, and you're saying to yourselves, God, why do we celebrate? Because? Because industry, manufacturing, the people that are in those professions are bold, brave, dare greatly innovate like no buddy's business, and you're changing lives, and at the same time, changing the world. So that's why we celebrate you. All right. But Hot Seat today. His name is Scott. He's a good looking guy, by the way, because his name is Scott. Heidi, last name. co. Engineering intent.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>01:14</p>
<p>Cool. It's cool. It is cool. Let's get cracking.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>01:20</p>
<p>Yeah.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>01:23</p>
<p>Outside of the fact that I can remember his name.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>01:27</p>
<p>He's, he's damn good looking. But anyway, what's interesting about this conversation, and I think it's an interesting Avenue and</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>01:37</p>
<p>engineering intent is a, let's say, a software, a technology company, right. And they provide a platform that allows people in the field to be able to create sort of pretty accurate engineering quotes on solutions for firms that are in the engineering space, right. So for example,</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>02:06</p>
<p>I go out, I visit a customer, the customer has something in mind, it looks like XYZ, it's got this and that right then and there because of their platform because of their software. Because of their technology. I'm able to come up with a pretty doggone decent swag at what the cost of that particular solution will be. And and for me, right, Scott MacKenzie, being impatient, as I've always impatient, unfortunately,</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>02:38</p>
<p>I like it. I like it. It's like real time insights into like, Hey, I got this idea. And then I want to be able to come up with some sort of an estimate of what it might look like, engineering intent. The team of Scott, Heidi. I mean, come on. Come on. It's pretty doggone cool. You got to sit there and say, it's pretty damn cool. Now I'm not gonna do it justice, because Scott and his team at engineering intent, live eat breathe this solution. But Oh, I know. Boy, it satisfies my my curiosity, of being able to get something on paper that looks like what I'm thinking about and have a dialogue right then and there. I don't, you don't even have to go back to that. You know, whatever your your office is. You can do it right then and there. Come on. That's what the future holds. That's what this is all about. That's a that's an industry hero, his team, their industry heroes, what can you say? All right. Remember, I want you to do a couple of things. And just note this before we get into the interview is one you got to constantly educate, right? Just keep keep educating. Now's the time. This, this is speeding by us. So educate, collaborate, reach out to me, Doc gotta reach out to me and we'll let's collaborate. Let's figure out the way to get your story out there. And as well as all the other people who you want to collaborate and of course, innovate. You got to keep innovating, just like engineering and tech men. They don't shop. It's not as if like, hey, all right, we got our platform, blah, blah, blah, and a stop. Nope. They keep hammering on that technology so that it brings the value that you so deserve, because you're an industry hero.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>04:29</p>
<p>All right, let's get cracking on the interview. Now his card is pretty doggone chock full of great stuff. Right? Scott, Heidi, that's h Ei D. Engineering intent is the company. And as I scroll down, I look at his stat card. Oh my gosh, he is smarter than me. absolutely spot on. All right. Instead of me yammering on and on and on and on. Let's get going with the interview. Enjoy Scott and his insights into what they're doing at</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>05:00</p>
<p>Engineering intent. All right, Scott, welcome to the industrial talk podcast. We've had habit listeners, you're gonna like this conversation, just because we've been having a great conversation offline. In fact, we should have been recording it, Scott, because you were just dropping value bombs all day long. And I'm just sitting there going, man, I should have recorded that man. All right, before we get out again, but yeah, it's not gonna happen. So before we get really cracking and, and relive all our conversations, because that's what we can do. Give us a little 411 on who Scott is. So the listeners understand why you're such an incredible professional.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>05:37</p>
<p>My name is Scott, Heidi, I'm CEO of engineering intent, I've been in the business of what we call engineering automation, or design automation, sales configuration for the past 30 years, and I've had a lot of experience with several different companies and with several different large scale partners over the years. Today, our company is a software company that makes a product called knowledge bridge, and we'll talk about that soon. This is interesting if you've been in the business, and I mean, your your, your cutting edge at engineering automation, I'm going to just sort of share with you every time that I had to go approach my engineering department, you know, what was was the biggest problem.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>06:21</p>
<p>I would procrastinate and then I would probably go over and grab a cup of coffee. And then I would see, hey, there's some donuts. I would procrastinate to the end until I couldn't procrastinate anymore. And I'd have to have that conversation with engineering. And so the simple fact that you were already thinking about engineering automation, you're a trailblazer? Yeah, it's been it was pioneered in the late 80s. Actually, there was a company called icad, that kind of came up with the original concept of this kind of object oriented approach to design automation. And we've been developing it and growing with it over the years. The the key for us over the last few years is the proliferation of the the Internet of geometry that can be fast and interactive of some of the new technologies coupled together with that underlying ability to automate what people think automate, the engineering process has really brought it put us in a good position to help a lot of companies. Yeah. And you're you're a cloud based business. Right? Yeah, that's right. And that has its tremendous value. But</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>07:39</p>
<p>so what was the problem that sort of lay out that problem of what's your try this this knowledge bridge or K bridge solution? what problem are you addressing? So a lot of companies that do customized products, have to configure their products, but they have to configure them in the using engineering rules as part of what drives that configuration, they have to use geometry and geometric relationships. And they have to, if they're going to make a possible for their sales people and for their customers to be able to do the configuration, you need to be able to interact with it. And so the technology for doing the automation has been around for a long time, but it hasn't succeeded and rolled out the way it could to help these companies, because of this lack of these extra features that enable it to make it more effective. And what we're doing these companies that we work with struggle because they're trying to make a custom product for their customer. But because it's custom, it takes time, it takes expertise. They make mistakes, there's handoffs,</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>08:58</p>
<p>there's throughput, time, and so on. And so we're trying to help them streamline that process to automate it to capture the knowledge that's needed to do those steps in an automated way. And that's what we do. And so if we can make it so instead of taking two weeks to do a quote, you can take two hours to do a better yet do it in front of a customer with the customer better yet even have the customer do it themselves, then the communications just becomes much more efficient. And you're able to make a sale that you wouldn't be able to make it to do it with less resources. You're able to make fewer mistakes while you're doing it. You're able to understand your margins while you're doing it because we're rolling up the cost and we're doing calculations. All of those things become more effective for our customers. I think it's brilliant. And and you know, yeah, you're absolutely right. It's been around for a little while people have been talking about it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>10:00</p>
<p>This is like the, the, you know,</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>10:03</p>
<p>the the golden goose if you could do it for me being a, some people say that I'm impatient, some people, not everybody, but some people say that I'm impatient. This is like right in line with what I like. So if somebody came to me, and and I had a dream, I had a thing in my head and I said, I'm thinking about this, and I'm gonna, I want to talk to you about it, if you could take care of it right then and there. And we could communicate, and then ferret out all the challenges. Holy cow, you have a customer for life I'd like and then when they leave, I could just say, yeah, yeah, we got it going on. I just think it's such a tremendous value proposition. I mean, I might be, but I'm really impatient. But I think a lot of people are, yes, absolutely. Being able to interact with the customer and show them what they're going to buy, not just configure it and show them the price, but show them a picture of it, or a 3d model, or a rendering or a drawing and so on and have them be comfortable with it. And an immediate response is just the the value from a sales point of view is huge. And keep in mind, this all started. Because what the problem we were originally trying to solve was just, you know, I've got a bunch of engineers that are spending so much time on every individual design, it takes hours, it's, you know, the throughput, time, and so on. And it's expensive. We're trying to automate those engineers, but what we realized is if we enable the UI, in such a way that you can use it in a pre sales mode, just like you said, you get a customer for life, when you can show them what they want, and confirm for them that we're going to be able to make what you need. And do it quickly. It's just high super high value. high value is an understatement. Because you're sitting there having real conversations with your customer about a problem they're trying to solve. And you're going back and forth. For a level of clarity that doesn't exist, like hey, we make this thing but I'll be back in two weeks, and then I'll come with a drawing and then and then of course, it all breaks down hell in a handbasket. No, I didn't want that handle, I wanted this handle and whatever. And</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>12:27</p>
<p>I just think it's just damn cool. Yes. And and on top of that, you know, engineers don't like to be involved in that pre sales process, the company's not getting paid for that engineering time, you know, they'd rather be thinking about what the next new product is going to be, rather than just turning the crank on yet another quote for the same product over and over again, it really frees them up to focus on new product development, and it frees the sales guy up to make that, that sale with the customer. And give them what they want to be and be assured that it's been engineered properly. And it's a valid solution did doggone sexy, I love what you're saying. Now, the question I have. So if I'm, if I have, hey, I want to build a descriptor for cater no such thing. So listeners out there don't go Google dysgraphia cater because it doesn't exist. It's my word. I want it on a bumper sticker anyway, well, let's say I wanted to build a descriptor for cater. And it has, you know, materials of cost of materials and just just materials, right? Does does your product go out? And say, yeah,</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>13:36</p>
<p>aluminum is? Do we procure it at this point, whatever, you get the price right then and there. Yeah, so we often our applications connect directly to</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>13:48</p>
<p>the cost center for their the company, that's usually the RP system, where they have the materials, they have the purchase components, so they we can have access to availability, and costs. And then we can actually make choices for the customer based on trade offs. You know, some of the customers we we sell to, for example, in power distribution, use a lot of copper, the cost of copper can change tremendously from one week to the next. And you may choose a different design based on the evolution of that, that change and</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>14:26</p>
<p>evolution of that change in</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>14:29</p>
<p>the price of copper. And so that sort of dynamic decision making can be really effective. Yeah, especially, you know, I've been down that road and then it's like that material. Today was $5. Tomorrow $7. The next day is $10. And then of course, somebody comes back and it's like, how do you how do you narrow it down? To me is just a big, big deal. But I would imagine, I mean, are you let's let's just let's just</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>15:00</p>
<p>lead and put it out on the table.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>15:04</p>
<p>If 100% let's say it's $100, right, here it is, it's $100. How closer am I, with your product with your solution? Am I to the $100? I mean, like, do I nail it? Well, you nail it a lot better than you would without the product. In other words, we, we roll up? Well, first of all, we ask the customer, how they do pricing. And sometimes pricing is done based on cost. Other times, it's not frankly, it's based on other parameters. And we can incorporate either pricing model into how we put together the cost and the price for them. Typically, for the kind of customers we work with, it's a, we're rolling up a cost. And that cost can be materials, but it can also be manufacturing steps, it can be an engineering factor, there can be delivery factors, and we can roll those into an overall cost. And then the margins, often there are rules about the margins as well, you know, if it's if this distributor gets extra margin, or this customer buys a whole bunch from us, so they get a discount, there's rules in there about the margins to those are all rules. And so our system allows you to capture that and, and</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>16:23</p>
<p>hone it and hone it and hone it. And I would imagine you get a little bit better as you continue to go forward. It's like, yeah, I'm tightening it up. I see where I've, yeah, yeah, yeah, they're really good companies keep track of what they quoted and what it ended up being and do the connection between to make a jump make those adjustments? fine tune to, you know, fine tune that to get it exactly right. See, not every company does that. But there certainly are companies out there that do and they can be very successful with. Come on. Now. You had me at at me make sure you had me at the term</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>17:04</p>
<p>engineering automation. You had me at that. One of the push backs, why do people I mean, it's it's not all, you know, bubblegum and pink elephants out there? What would be the pushback to this makes complete sense? Well, that's that's a good question. And there's a couple of different categories. But, you know, the first one is often Well, you know, we don't think you can do that, you know, how are you going to capture our rules are you rules are so special that we can't possibly imagine capturing them? And, and in some cases, there's some truth to that. But what we do and what's special about our product is you capture the rules that you have, you provide a user interface that allows them to interact with it and put put their human factor into it where that's needed. And combination is what's really the best solution. So that's one of the push backs. The other pushback is, Oh, we've got some programmers over in the back room, we'll just have them programming solution. And the problem with that is it ends up being, you know, the programmers, first of all, don't understand the product. Secondly, it ends up being this huge dotnet programming, nobody understands it can maintain or extend over time, and, and so on. So are, you know, one of our biggest competitors is the roll your own way, and we'll try to do it ourselves.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>18:31</p>
<p>Like I said before, some of those companies, a lot of those companies end up being our best customers, they come back three years later and go, Ah, you know, I see why we didn't want to get in this mess of software. We're not a software company. We're a manufacturing company. We've got this whole group over here trying to write software, and maintain software. Help us out here, and it ends up being our best. Yeah, and and why wouldn't I want to leverage your organization who have you know, I mean, if you've done it over a number of years, you've, you've refined your thinking, you have insights that, you know, the IT department doesn't have at Acme Corporation, you just bring a greater level of experience that for me, we've been through it many times before, and we've seen what the challenges are, and both technical challenges and organizational challenges and business challenges. And we can help companies help coach companies through to success and that's kind of on top of our product, which is a great platform for doing the sort of thing but the product itself isn't the only thing that</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>19:45</p>
<p>it takes more than that to be successful and we can help with the rest of it as well. Yeah, I mean, of course, it's it's, it's a die. What would always upset me because apparently I'm impatient.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>20:00</p>
<p>Sometimes, is when somebody says it can't be done. Yeah, yeah, I just</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>20:07</p>
<p>I bristle with that because you take a challenge at that. And, and and prove them wrong most of the time prove them wrong. Yeah, you know, I've been, I've been watching, right, Elon Musk, and SpaceX. And looking at that, I just, they never say it can't be done. It's like, they'll have this, you know, wild idea, and then they'll try to figure out how to get it in it. They do it. And it's like, God, that is just refreshing. Yes, yeah. No, we, we think that way. And we like to be challenged by our customers. And, you know, most of the time we're able to meet those challenges, and and it ends up being a win for them and a win for us. And that's what gets us up in the morning, Franklin. Yeah, don't get away from that legacy thinking and, and meaning we know how to do it and all that good stuff. Yeah. Where do you see it going? I mean, what, what are the trends? What's, I mean, this is great stuff. This is a great conversation. It's a great solution. It's great service, it's not blah, blah, blah. But what do you see it going? So I think that we will be extending this capability to many, many, many more companies. I mean, we're just at the tip of the iceberg right now, in terms of the products, the industries, the companies that do a customized product that need this kind of technology. So I see that growing for years and years. Another exciting angle on it for me is that we're part of what we're doing, when we when we do these applications is we're capturing reusable sets of engineering rules. And we've set up our technology from day one, to manage modular, reusable sets of engineering rules. If you think about it, engineering is a collaborative process. You never design anything. If I look at this console in front of me, there were probably 100 engineers that touch different parts of it, that were experts in each area, yeah, you can capture those modules and mix and match them together. It's the impact long term impact on the engineering world is going to be significant. And we've, we've built the infrastructure for that we've built a store for exchanging these kinds of things. And, and to me,</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>22:40</p>
<p>in the very long in the longer term, that's even more exciting than the ability to help an engineered order company sell their product faster, both both are exciting, obviously. But changing the way engineering is done is is really the the end end game here.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>22:58</p>
<p>I think that that's very cool. You brought up a good point. And, you know, I can sit there with my business cap on and say, Hey, this is great. I understand what you mean. But there's a there's a positive bottom line impact to streamlining this effort. Can you explain a little bit about that? Yeah. So there's what we call value buckets, there's many of them for an application like this. First of all, you're able to sell more easily. So you're making that sales</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>23:35</p>
<p>experience, exposing it directly to your sales guys, to your customers. And as we discussed not having to spend weeks to put together a quote, you can do it in minutes in front of your customer. But along with that, you're also reducing the amount of time it takes from a throughput time, you're reducing the amount of hours it takes, so the cost is going down. And then you're also reducing the every anytime you automate something like this, you're reducing the opportunity for mistakes. We've had customer who follow the whole Kaizen thing, and I've kept track of their cost of quality. We've had customers justify, you know, very large investments, million dollar investments entirely on the cost of quality for one of these, nevermind all the other things we've talked about for the last 15 minutes entirely on the cost of quality and so that's another you know, area where value comes into play. And so there's just the the key is doing automation. Once you have it. There's just there's value all over the place. It's it can be very strategic for any company that embraces it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>24:50</p>
<p>This is this just cool stuff.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>24:53</p>
<p>Really, we think it is okay, not everybody would talk to you. Thanks. Oh, well apparently you're not selling right.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>25:00</p>
<p>You're not communicating, right? Because apparently they should be listening to you. They should, they should. Again, how can people get a hold of you?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>25:09</p>
<p>We're at engineering and ten.com. The website is the best place, there's links to our email addresses and phone numbers and such there that just spelled out no dots or anything engineering and ten.com.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>25:25</p>
<p>We'd be happy to hear from anybody. There's actually live demos on the website, you can run one of our applications, you can learn about a lot of the different industries we support. There's a lot of information on our website. That's really the best place to start. Very cool. Very cool. All right. You got a couple of things here to free demo on websites. Right. You've mentioned that that's good. And you made this a pretty clear if you're a qualified prospect free discovery session, I first off be qualified to take advantage of that. That is absolutely and everything will be out at industrial talk.com.

We celebrate all the people but it's in a world of collaboration. We believe here in industrial talk, you're going to have to collaborate, you're going to have to innovate.

We go to the same Barber, by the way. And anyway, we start talking about collaboration. We talked about innovation and the necessity to be innovative, and find people that are innovative. We talked about education. And and this is what this industrial talk platform is all about. And we're talking about a place to go, that you can collaborate, go out there, I've got these individuals, these leaders in industry, these leaders in manufacturing, and you could reach out to them each and every day.

All right, Bobby, welcome to the industrial talk podcast, absolute honor that you have found time in your busy schedule to talk to the listeners of industrial talk. How</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>05:26</p>
<p>are you doing there, Bobby? I'm doing great. And Scott, thank you so much. This is great honor to be on your show.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>05:33</p>
<p>Thank you, it is an honor. It's the number one industrial manufacturing podcast in the universe. I have nothing to back that up. And I think I'm overselling it. But I'm gonna continue to say it as you</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>05:43</p>
<p>should.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>05:46</p>
<p>All right, Bobby. Now you're you're the CEO, president of I want to say SPOC, but is that what that is? Correct? SPOC? nation. Okay, got it. Now we're going to talk a little bit about your lift up culture. But before we get going on that one, because that's gonna be a great topic listeners out there, it's gonna be a great topic. Give us a little 411 on who Bobby is, and why you're such an incredible professional, you know, your history?</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>06:12</p>
<p>Well, you know, I have been in the electrical distribution and Automation business, the majority of my life, my, my father was an entrepreneur. I'm a second generation entrepreneur. And it's why all entrepreneurs have</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>06:26</p>
<p>no hair. It just is what it is. It's, it's a fact of life.</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>06:31</p>
<p>I actually thought it was because it made me more aerodynamic.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>06:34</p>
<p>It does, however, does a good side of it, did you? I'm sorry. But</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>06:40</p>
<p>oh, you're fine. He actually sold that business to a national chain. And we had a difference of philosophy and culture, quite frankly. And so I left with a handful of individuals, we had already come up with some software solutions for the oil and gas industry around controlling rod pumps, which is that one you always see on the news story going up and down that reciprocating pump. Yeah. And, and doing it in a fashion that had never been done before controlling it. And so we we started this company up almost 20 years ago. And we have just been incredibly blessed with a great team that that is just totally focused on helping people. And you know, I actually, I equate Automation to being like a fine dining experience. And you look at me, I like to.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>07:44</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm all with you. But I've never heard that in a sentence before. But</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>07:48</p>
<p>we're let me expand. And the reason I equate it to a fine dining experience, is when you go to a restaurant, way before you ever begin to eat that meal, that chef has gone out, and he's procured the best components he can possibly find, you know, farm to table fresh meats and fruits and vegetables, whatever it is. And he's put a lot of preparation and a lot of care into that. And he can bring that to the table. But if you don't have great service, with that fine meal, it's just a meal. But when you have great service along with excellent products, then it becomes an experience. And so that is that's exactly what we do. We try to provide us an experience</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>08:43</p>
<p>seeing it and I would imagine that you get a little pushback, because there's some, quote, negativity that's associated with Automation, you're trying to get rid of my job. And I don't think that that's going to be that's the case. And I think that that's the story that needs to be pulled within Automation.</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>09:00</p>
<p>Absolutely. What we want to do is come up beside you and help you give you better information allow you to focus on areas that are problems mechanically, because we're doing the electrical controls. And, and we actually are an aide and what we have found, and especially in the oil and gas industry, where traditionally it's this is a way my grandfather did it, and my dad did it. And this is where we're going to do it. That mindset is shifting, thank goodness. But but the guys have learned that we're there to help.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>09:37</p>
<p>I think just let me let me just sort of lay it out there and I think pre virus, a pandemic pre whatever two finger death punch. The the focus was a little bit different. Everything was sort of swimming, we were working we were doing and we had these strategic plans to in two, five, whatever years we're going to be able to do XYZ and and that is with any digitization IoT. industry for Dotto, whatever it might be as well as Automation. I think everything was like, Okay, that's good COVID hits, boom, all bets are off the table, we need to do something else, we need to figure out how to be more resilient, more efficient, more this and save money and do whatever it takes. I think it's just really, you know, push the envelope on why these are important strategic directions for companies and Automation. And the innovation behind Automation is key.</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>10:31</p>
<p>Absolutely, we focus primarily on land based and and traditionally, they have been behind in Automation. Yeah, and the only way for them to survive and actually thrive on the other side, is to start automating these processes and and, and having their stuff more efficient, and save 25% on their electrical consumption and lower that lifting costs.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>10:55</p>
<p>Yeah, it's it's been a, it's, from my perspective, a real Renaissance and a focus into solutions that are truly innovative. And I think companies that are focused on resiliency, because we don't know if it's going to happen again, right? We don't know if that genie is already out of the bottle, and somebody is going to say, adds another pandemic, whatever it might be, at least your business is going to survive the next one if it ever happens, Lord willing, knits not so it is what it is. All right. Now, we can talk about Automation all day, I get one point of clarification, what a SPOC mean,</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>11:31</p>
<p>is actually an acronym and it stands for sensor less pump off control. And where that resides is</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>11:37</p>
<p>we're I understand why it's an acronym. domain.</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>11:43</p>
<p>It is. We were drives experts, variable frequency drives. We've we've deployed over 70,000 into the oil and gas fields across the world. And and what we did is that reciprocating beam pump application, yeah, we have some software that we developed that allowed us to do that without dynamic braking resistors. And it's a long story, but we can do pump off control using the motor itself.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>12:12</p>
<p>Very good. Very good. I don't see that's innovation. That's that's in. And I like how it does. Yeah, I mean, you change the market, in a sense, and you're going to continue to change the market, because that's how you think. And when we start talking about thinking, one of the points I'd love to be able to expand upon. And we've talked about, we've talked about a lot of stuff on the industrial talk podcast, but I'm intrigued by your lift up culture. And I gotta ask you the question, what is that</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>12:41</p>
<p>lift up culture, that is something that I am super passionate about. Because it's about my people. And my team. When we started this company, it was a result of leaving a poor culture to develop one. And so lift up in in its shortest form is just this, we try to as a company, lift up the individual, give them an opportunity, so that they can thrive and improve and grow within our company, we give the we want to lift up each other. Because if you look to the left and the right of you that person is depending on you to do a great job. We try to lift up our customers by giving them innovation, by lowering their lifting costs by helping them with all of their rotating equipment, pumps and compressors, and all those controls. And we try to lift up our industry, because our industry needs people that are out there. They're experts, let's face it, the oil and gas industry is full of wonderful people. But there are a lot of plumbers and not a lot of guys in like in the electrical side, especially in the Automation side, right.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>13:53</p>
<p>And</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>13:54</p>
<p>then ultimately, our ultimate goal that everyone here has bought into is that we believe in our heart of hearts that we are ultimately trying to lift up our country. Because if we can do things to help our country be energy independent, then we are going to be a stronger nation. And so that's really what that lift up cultures base foundation is all about</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>14:17</p>
<p>no sudden we just have to wrap up the podcast because I don't know where else to go with this. I do know Don't worry, I added Alright, listen, as we talk a little bit about a lift up cultures. We're talking about the impact of lift up culture with people, the customers, the industry, which is happens to be oil and gas and it could be anything in the country. And what I like about it, Bobby is the fact that it's truly other focuses truly service focus. It's like, it's not about me, it's about you. It's about your success. It's about your health, we need to help. And I think in this in this world, from my perspective of how I've constantly tried to hammer on we need to collaborate, we need to innovate, we need to educate with a sense of speed and purpose, especially now. That lift up culture fits right in there. And it goes from all the way from that The people in the front line all the way to the country, and I like it, I like it a lot. Well done on that one. Okay, give me an example of what that looks like. You know,</p>

<p>that looks like a lot of things we have. We've got a lot of awards, and all kinds of accolades, and those, and those are great, and we appreciate all of that. But really, at the end of the day, our products, the way we view everyone is everyone in this company is an innovator. So not only are our products innovative, but every process that we do is needs to be innovated and we're constantly looking for a better way. A good example, would be, we actually have a have a product out in the oil gas fields, that we have a extended warranty called drab shield. And because of our culture, because we care, because we put great components in all those things, we can warranty, a drive, a variable frequency drive package, for six out to 10 years, even against a lightning strike. It's unheard of, it's literally unheard of. But it is a way that we can because we've done a lot of engineering have 10s of thousands of units out in the field, we know what it takes. So it's a way that we can lift up our customers, if they have that act of God. And lightning were to hit that drive, and they had bought our extended warranty package with the draft. We replace it. Now. Where else in the world can be the company that looks out for you like that.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>16:39</p>
<p>And what's interesting, I would imagine if this thought came to mind, and a lot of the a lot of these units are probably out in the middle of nowhere. Yes, and and it's not like, Hey, I'm going to run to the Walmart, grab a loaf of bread. And then by the way, I'm going to change that thing that's right next to the Walmart, it's easy peasy. Just gonna do it, it doesn't happen that way, I guess</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>17:00</p>
<p>happens to be three hours on a dirt road off the closest highway.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>17:04</p>
<p>That's exactly right. And you got to sit there and then it's, you know, 150 degrees out there. And you're like, Ah, it's got to have a smile on your face. And that's what's got it. And if you're truly a lift up culture, and you're talking about energy independence, got to have that smile on the face and get on out there. That's a great example I like it.</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>17:23</p>
<p>It is. And another way we do you know, we have we have five core values that we we live by. And it's committed, caring, passionate, solution focused, and gratifying. And so what we do is we keep that in front of everybody every day. And it's it's plastered all over everything that we do. There's visual reminders, they're verbal. And that's just part of the culture of who we are. It's actually kind of interesting how we came up with those. I hired a consultant because I was a naysayer, so to speak. Early own right. And I hired a consultant to come in and help us. And he convinced me through reading some several papers that the Harvard Business Review had had put on culture, your own core values, mission, purpose, all those things. But I was just not passionate about it. Because I had seen in my career, so many individuals that come in, and they hand you this piece of paper, and they tell you this is our core values. This is our mission statement. But they no more lived it out than the man on the moon. Oh, yeah. And I've always been that guy that if I tell you it's going to rain, you better take your umbrella to work because I'm not gonna lie to you. And don't ask me if you don't want to know what my opinion is, right? So I hired him. He came in we went, we talked ahead of time. And he said, You know, it usually takes people a year, maybe two years to flesh it out, blah, blah, blah. And, and I said, No, we know who we are. We've always known who we are. We just had not documented it. And he said, You and every other customer that I've ever client I've ever worked with said same thing. So we went through this exercise and in 45 minutes, we had our core values nailed. Now we took another six, six or eight months to flesh out the wording behind it</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>19:23</p>
<p>right. But then</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>19:24</p>
<p>I got a little paranoid. So I hired a second consultant to come in to validate it and to validate that I was not just blowing smoke and and that one came in and they actually sat with all of our people. They did the job with them. They literally for two weeks, sat out there and worked in production. They worked in shipping. They worked in engineering. They sat side by side. I came back they gave me this thick 50 something page report and he said Bobby, I know you're going to read this and think this is kind of a Kiss, kiss up type repent, right. But you got something really, really special here with your culture. He said, you know, the thing you want to do is you've got a couple of gaps that you need to address. And one of them is that these men and women put together the true Craftsman there. There are occasions, so to speak, in what they build, take a lot of pride in it, and they do a great job. But they don't have closure. And that's, that's interesting. What do you mean by closure? He said, Well, they put their blood sweat and tears into making this product phenomenal for you. And it looks great. But then it gets on a truck and it shipped out west to an oilfield. And they don't ever get the feedback from the customer. Right? Did it do its job? Did it help you? Did it benefit you? Were these things? what you expected? What could you know that type stuff that the sales and myself management team, we go see customers, so we get that information. So I took it upon myself. We hired a video crew to come in. And we did a bunch of interviews, unbeknownst to all these employees, and they didn't know what I was doing. And and then we went out and we spent a week out in West Texas filming customers to get their feedback, right. And then at the end of our year, when we do our lift up awards, and give out our award ceremony. I ran this video that was a kind of a ying and yang of field and I and a company perspective, right? And I had grown men who are pretty burly tough</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>21:46</p>
<p>guys in tear gas baby.</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>21:50</p>
<p>And they were literally in tears. Yeah, it was turned out to be such a powerful video. We we held on to it for about a year and a half. Before we actually put it out on the website, just because so many customers that had seen it said you have got to share that because it tells your story.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>22:08</p>
<p>Love it. Okay, let me ask you this question. So that's all great. That's all wonderful. That's all spectacular. How did you deploy it? How did you? And I'm sure it's a journey and then and then if you hire individuals, new people, right? How do you get them inculcated into your spectacular culture?</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>22:27</p>
<p>That is a that's a great question. That's</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>22:29</p>
<p>why I make the big bucks here. If you're looking at me on the video, I'm shaking No. But if you want to donate Go right ahead. I'm all into that, too.</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>22:40</p>
<p>We documented that journey. And a lot of the things that I've said to you this morning talking about the fact that that you know what those core values are, we actually hire my core values. I literally will ask you to define your definition of what those core values are to you. And there are no wrong answers. It's just a way for us to see we're</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>23:01</p>
<p>thinking imagine, yeah, ask me and I'll say, I like cars. That's a wrong answer, Scott, that's not in line with what I've that's a wrong answer. I can't imagine you coming out and say anybody.</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>23:15</p>
<p>But what I have found is that by doing that, they know where we stand, right? And if we aren't aligned early, we're never going to be aligned. And so I would rather help you be successful. somewhere else, right? It's doing you a favor, it's doing me a favor, so that we don't make a mistake. But we have, we actually have a book that we a little booklet that we put together. It's called a guide to greatness, and it's around the lift up. And then</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>23:47</p>
<p>like that, we forget everything on the podcast, I need those values, the five points that you put out, and then I need that booklet. And I need a lot of things. But I just wanted to plant that seed in your head because I need it. Absolutely. And I will maybe I'll just send you my resume because I like what you're doing.</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>24:07</p>
<p>I will also try to make that available on our website, Elijah. Bach. automotion calm. Yeah. But what what we do is what we do also is we've got a lot of ex military guys, and my CFO, Doug Markham, great individual, retired from the Navy. And he when he retired, he had given me one of his military coins, and had his name on it and the emblem and rank all those good things. And I loved that idea of some of something that is a value, but not monetary value.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>24:47</p>
<p>That's just for the listeners out there. If you're out on the video, you and if you're not out on the video, he's lifting up a coin that they offer and it's there it is man. Committed lift. Anyway, it looks like Cool, go ahead.</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>25:01</p>
<p>Well, these coins, we have one made ups custom for every one of the core values. And then we put together a program where your peers, all the people around you can nominate you, if they catch you in the act of living out our core values, and they have to tell why. And then that gets submitted in weekly. And in my management meeting, so every good act is recognized by management. Now, not all of them qualify for a coin, because these are highly coveted prizes. And then</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>25:37</p>
<p>you got to make it worth Oh, to get it. I mean, it just can't just hand them out, like like pennies, I mean, absent all of a sudden, the value just begins to plummet, right. And</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>25:47</p>
<p>Ford team loves them, they display them with pride. And at the end of the year, we have a gold coin, which is the lift up coin. And that actually represents the one individual in the entire company, who represented us and our core values better than anyone else. If we sent that individual to Mars, and they couldn't speak Martian. That individual would know what SPOC Automation stood for. And, and he gets a he or she gets a monetary prize on top of that, but really, that coin, and that recognition is worth a lot more than than the monetary.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>26:27</p>
<p>So this is interesting. So I see the value, I see the benefit. I see all of that. And that's all great at SPOC Automation. Now. One final question is does it positively impact your bottom line? I mean, if I'm a company, and I'm sitting here going, and this is all fantastic, as wonderful, but man, it's gonna come on, does it really help?</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>26:49</p>
<p>Absolutely. That is, I have, I have the numbers to prove it. You know, we've we've been fortunate enough to be one of Inc 5000 fastest growing companies in America three times in the last decade. You know, here's a little proof there, during this pandemic slash oil and gas war. We took a double doozy Yeah, in our industry. And yet, because of that, that culture because of that innovative spirit, my team, not me, not my marketing firm, my team came up with an idea to do something called two minute drives, because we have lift up, which is an internal program, yeah. And then we have build up where we're trying to build up our industry. And so what they do is they've been making videos, our sales, our service, our engineers, even our production people, and they're giving away our knowledge, the other people would charge you for this, but they're giving away knowledge to help the industry to educate them, to tell them how to or why you should consider these things to make you profitable. As a result, we have outperformed the market 30 35% on our web traffic on our own right, we're thriving in an environment that is not friendly.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>28:18</p>
<p>It's challenging last for doggone Sure. And I love the fact that you are offering this content, this information, these little tidbits of success to an industry that needs it. And and, and it's not a slam on the oil and gas. So without gas, people don't take this as a slam. However, we are very reluctant sometimes to change and to, you know, be innovative. And now here's a great opportunity. We always talk about the challenges of COVID, that one side and it did this, that and the other thing and it's all negative. But I'm telling you right now, there's a positive element to it, whether we like it or not, there's a positive element. And that is people and companies like yours, where you're saying, Okay, I've got to adapt, I've got to change, I've got to innovate, I've got to be able to get my message out. And I've got to do it with a desire to help people succeed. Because if they don't succeed, I don't succeed. So I better help them succeed. And if they succeed, I succeed it all works. And and to be able to have that other focus and I love. I love that transition and love the where that is going there. Bobby, I love what you do. It's the only thing that says mister should have been a K. That would have been cool. SPOC. Then you'd have you know, SPOC years.</p>
<p><strong>Bobby Mason&nbsp;</strong>29:33</p>
<p>It's hard spell control with a K.</p>
<p><strong>Scott MacKenzie&nbsp;</strong>29:36</p>
<p>You could have been sort of on the edge and say control. This is control with a gay I'm changing the spelling. Anyway. All right, Bobby, how do people get ahold of you?</p>
