Episode Description

The buzz: “… by the year 2020 manufacturers in every industry will have invested billions of dollars in a wide array of advanced digital and fabrication technologies” (nist.gov). More than most industries, manufacturing is being disrupted by the IoT, robots, AI, and distributed intelligence. “Smart” factories, mass customization and 3D printing pose opportunities and threats to traditional manufacturing. How are industry-leading companies delivering innovation? The experts speak. Dr. Tom Bradicich, HPE: “Seek and you shall find, ask and it shall be given to you, knock and the door shall be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7). Indranil Sircar, Microsoft: “With realization of one's own potential and self-confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world” (Dalai Lama). Mike Lackey, SAP: “I don’t spend my time pontificating about high-concept things; I spend my time solving engineering and manufacturing problems” (Elon Musk). Join us for Hot New Technologies: Transforming Manufacturing.
