Abby Smith and Ronn Cort with Team Pennsylvania

Industrial Talk is talking to Abby Smith with Team Pennsylvania and Ronn Cantor with Dunmore about “Team PA’s Factory of the Future resource”.

Scott MacKenzie hosts a podcast celebrating industrial professionals and their innovations. In this episode, he discusses with Abby Kantor and Ronn Cort from Team Pennsylvania the importance of collaboration in manufacturing. Team Pennsylvania, a nonprofit since 1997, fosters collaboration between government, business, and education to support Pennsylvania’s economy, particularly in manufacturing. They offer resources like the “Factory of the Future” website, which helps manufacturers integrate technology and connect with local support. Ronn shares how his company, Dunmore, restructured its maintenance and engineering teams using these resources. The conversation emphasizes the need for actionable, long-term strategies to support manufacturers’ digital transformation.

The world is changing fast! Industrial businesses are juggling every facet of business maintenance and growth, ranging from technological/digital media adaptations to cash flow management and operational efficiency challenges. How do industrial business leaders stay current while managing growth and casting vision for the future? The answers could be found in a learning environment, but never before has there been a place for continuing education in the industrial business arena. UNTIL NOW…

The INDUSTRIAL ACADEMY IS HERE. Finally there is a clearinghouse for all things industrial to assist the business leader. Course offerings provide up-to-date applicable information in business development, technology, finance, operations and leadership presented in an engaging, movement-oriented manner by those in the know. These professionals don’t just talk the talk. They walk the walk with purpose and passion for building not just the industrial business but also the people who make things happen.

The Industrial Talk Podcast family looks forward to learning and growing with you!

When I was in elementary school, our teacher would show us films of industrial professionals making our lives better. For me, these films instilled the passion for industry.

Today, industry has come along way from when I was a boy. It is innovative and focused on solving problems. In short, it’s really cool and exciting.

We need to teach children, around the world, and bring back the “Cool” and “Exciting” and why industry is a wonderful profession. That means we need industrial professionals to re-instill this industrial passion.

This is the Purpose of Industrial Pop. It is an online learning management platform (LMP) dedicated to educating our youth in the ever expanding and innovative world of industry. We also provide this LMP for our teachers to share with their class.

These are very exciting times for industry and we must begin educating our future and it starts with you. If you are interested, please contact me at: https://industrialtalk.com/contact/ and just let me know that you are interested in positively impacting our future industry leaders.
