Ep. 84 - [Greg McEntyre] Industrial Machine Vision Systems & Their Integration in Manufacturing
Guest BioI am a knowledgeable source of factory automation techniques when using machine vision systems, robotics, sensors, and non-contact measurement devices on production lines. My work has used the most influential brands of intelligent cameras, such as Cognex, Keyence, Banner, Omron, Matrox, Dalsa, and more. Most recently, my experience with the Elementary ML platform has shown me what machine learning vision systems can offer, and I am on a path to learning much about the next wave of AI-backed vision systems. My experience reflects 22+ years of hands-on use of machine vision equipment placed directly into production environments.How are people typically using Vision Systems?How can we use them better?Join us as Greg McEntyre is giving us a deep dive into all things Vision Systems.Have questions about or comments on vision systems?Manufacturing Hub Episode 84.

Ep. 76 - [Max Krug & David Crysler] Understanding Operational Excellence & the Role in Manufacturing
Guest BioDavid Crysler - "My passion for helping business leaders comes from growing up in an entrepreneurial household. Both of my parents have owned and continue to own their own businesses. Growing up in that environment taught me many valuable lessons, including what it meant to work hard in your business. It was an easy lesson to learn because I saw it every day. My parents would regularly leave before my school day started and come home well into the evening. We also spent a lot of weekends “at the shop.” My parents were involved in every aspect of their businesses. It was what got their business to where it was, but it was also what was holding them back. I couldn’t see that at the time, though; I just thought that’s what everyone does who owns a business."Max Krug - "Work with your organization's management team and staff to improve operational performance that leads to a healthier income statement and balance sheet. Develop an executable Operational Excellence strategy and associated tactics together with your management team that provides your organization with a decisive competitive advantage necessary to achieve sustainable profits into the future. Deploy the latest Operational Excellence methodologies and reduce fire-fighting and chaos that will allow your team to focus on the execution of the strategy necessary to take the business to the next level of performance."How can YOU make a difference?Vlad is back and is asking questions again this week!We are joined by David Crysler and Max Krug, talking all things Operations, Excellence, how small changes can make breakthrough improvements, and more.Our goal is to help tell you what you can do to make a difference in your facility...Plus some things to stay away from.Buckle up for a jam-packed conversation.Manufacturing Hub Episode 76.
