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

Both IoT devices and 3D printing have followed a similar timeline recently: a surge of interest, lots of hype, and now stricter scrutiny.
In this episode, Jason Hehman and Matt Reich discuss where these two technologies are trending, both in the consumer world and in the industrial space.
Listen in as Jason and Matt break down IoT devices and 3D printing (aka additive manufacturing) in terms of value proposition, maintenance, and ecosystem.

Jason got to take a tour of an Amazon Fulfillment Center and he’s here to share takeaways that every industrial business can benefit from.
With co-host Patrick Turley, Jason breaks down Amazon’s use of computer vision, edge computing, and digital twins and what it can teach us about Industry 4.0.
They also touch on how technology can improve workforce retention and how it can help managers make better decisions.
These two bearded gentlemen’s childlike excitement about the workings of a warehouse floor will leave you with a smile and a lot to think about for your own company’s future.

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