Addison Waege | Industrial Programmer II @ VertechExperienced MES developer and former controls engineer. Skilled in designing, developing, and implementing Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) following the ISA-95 standard. Adept in analyzing complex manufacturing processes, identifying areas for improvement, and developing solutions to optimize production efficiency and reduce downtime. Proven track record of successful MES projects, delivering solutions on-time and within budget.Join us as we continue the Manufacturing Hub conversation surrounding "THE FUTURE OF SYSTEMS INTEGRATION." This week we'll dig into the future of systems integration and continue to go beyond the systems. What will the data models and analysis look like?What will integrators need to do to stay relevant?A special thank you to Opto 22 for sponsoring this theme and your continued support of the community.Connect with UsAddison WaegeVlad RomanovDave GriffithManufacturing HubSolisPLC#manufacturing #automation #data #industry40 #digitaltransformation

Travis Cox | Chief Technology Evangelist @ Inductive AutomationMy passion is helping companies solve challenges using Ignition and modern technologies. I have been in the automation industry for 18 years. Through that time as a Co-Director of Sales Engineering for Inductive Automation, I have seen numerous successful launches of HMI/SCADA and IIoT projects across many diverse industries. I have worked with companies to help build robust and scalable architectures, apply best practices, integrate solutions, leverage edge and cloud computing, and learn how to fully utilize the Ignition platform.Inductive Automation started out as a group of Systems Integrators looking for a better product.Join us as we talk with Travis about the journey from integration to product and the last 20+ years of the journey. Along the way, IA has been able to work with a number of leading integration companies and OEMs. We'll ask Travis what will be in store for the next 20 years of integration.Are you a Home Automation fan? Stay tuned for some bonus conversations as to what we can do to put technology into the hands of people sooner.

Sam Russem from GrantekI am passionate about the concepts of Smart Manufacturing, Industry 4.0, and Digital Transformation: studying, discussing, evaluating, developing, and planning how we can apply innovations in computing, networking, and data to the manufacturing space. I believe that Smart Manufacturing technologies can improve our everyday lives by delivering new and innovative products to market safely, efficiently, and at a lower cost than ever before. In my 12+ years in manufacturing and automation, I have hands-on experience with a wide range of technologies from PLC and SCADA-based control systems to advanced data collection historians, IoT devices, MES, and analytics in industries ranging from food and beverage to pharmaceuticals to renewable energy.Now, I am proud to leverage that experience along with the latest trends and techniques in the market to bring Smart Manufacturing and Industry 4.0 to manufacturers around the world through professional consulting, product management, and thought leadership.-----Integration 10 years from now will have a completely different landscape.  Join Manufacturing Hub during the month of June as we bring on leading integrators from different verticals to try and figure out what the future will become. This week Sam Russem of Grantek joins us to discuss their major vertical Food and Beverage. Then we'll dig into a little bit of Life Sciences. Think those industries are completely different? Think again.A special thank you to Opto22 for sponsoring this theme and all your continued support of the community.
