Host Chris Luecke presents a bonus episode distilling lessons from previous Manufacturing Happy Hour interviews into three actionable strategies for manufacturing leaders in 2020. He highlights Michael Kromicky’s 'Machine as a Service' model using blockchain, Joe Carson’s legacy control system migrations, and Tom Goddett’s insights on IoT adoption rates.
