    Start With the Problem, Not the Technology w/ Jonathon Hensley

    Jonathon Hensley, co-founder and CEO of Emerge Interactive, discusses how manufacturers can avoid 'shiny object syndrome' by starting with business problems rather than technology. He highlights two critical challenges: incomplete customer journey mapping and fragmented data accessibility, which hinder operational agility and customer experience. Hensley cites John Deere and GE Health as examples of companies successfully unifying digital experiences and emphasizes that 84% of digital transformation initiatives fail without a strategic foundation mapping the current state of the business.

    Digital Transformation Explained (Over a Beer) | Live from Automation Fair 2019

    Chris Luecke hosts a panel with Tom Gaudet of PTC, Beth Parkinson of Rockwell Automation, and Ryan Wasmund of Concept Systems to demystify digital transformation and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). The experts define digital transformation as ranging from simple digitization of paper records to complex digital twins, emphasizing that success depends on integrating disparate systems rather than just buying new technology. They identify the primary barrier to adoption as cultural resistance and the IT/OT divide, noting that 90% of Proof of Concepts (POCs) fail because people are unwilling to change established workflows. The discussion highlights new challenges like hyper-personalization and generational workforce gaps, while expressing excitement for technologies like Augmented Reality (AR) and digital twins to attract younger engineers.

    #014: Why Your IoT Project Still Hasn’t Taken Off — And How to Fix It

    Chris Coleman and Tyler from Memfault host Afzal Saleem, an IoT entrepreneur and former T-Mobile Netherlands startup lead, to discuss why IoT projects stall despite technical viability. They analyze organizational resistance, such as the Dutch railway case where internal job security fears blocked adoption, and the '500K SIM card' phenomenon where pilots fail to scale due to slow enterprise processes. The conversation highlights how giants like Google, Ericsson, and Cisco waste millions by skipping niche validation, contrasting this with successful niche strategies from companies like Golioth and Nordic Semiconductor. They argue that IoT must learn from AI's community-driven, fast-iteration go-to-market playbook to overcome fragmentation and e-waste risks from deprecated cloud services.

    Industry 4.0 Trends and Data That Actually Matters with Jeff Winter

    Jeff Winter, an Industry Executive for Manufacturing at Microsoft, discusses the critical gaps in data management and the cultural barriers to digital transformation. He highlights that data generation has outpaced storage capacity, with 64 zettabytes created in 2020 against limited global storage, and notes that 80% of enterprise data is now unstructured. Winter argues that most digital transformation initiatives fail because companies focus on technology rather than investing in the right company culture and clear business objectives.

    End-to-End Digital Transformation with Bob Murphy and Scott Feldmann

    Bob Murphy, Senior VP of Connected Enterprise Consulting at Rockwell Automation, and Scott Feldmann from Accenture’s Industry X.0 team discuss Rockwell’s enterprise-wide digital transformation. They detail how consolidating 26 plants into 18 and standardizing on FactoryTalk ProductionCenter enabled a global MES implementation, creating a 'digital thread' across the supply chain and product lifecycle. The guests emphasize that successful transformation requires aligning technology with redesigned processes and cultural shifts, moving from proof-of-concept to scalable proof-of-value.
