Manufacturing Happy Hour · 5 Sept 2023 · 34m

What this episode covers

Marty Groover, an operational technology expert and partner at C5MI, discusses his transition from a U.S. Navy surface warfare officer to a manufacturing leader at Caterpillar. He explains how the Navy's concept of 'Speed of Advance' (actual vs. plan) informs his approach to Industry 4.0, emphasizing the need for a 'common operational picture' to drive real-time decision-making. Groover highlights the critical role of supply chain resilience exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic and argues for distributed manufacturing models to enhance national security and agility.

    Back to the Future: The Manufacturing Edition

    Marty Groover, Partner and CTO at C5 MI, draws on his 21-year career as a US Navy Surface Warfare Officer and his time at Caterpillar to explain how live data and modular systems drive manufacturing efficiency. He argues that manufacturers must converge people, process, and technology rather than leading with technology, citing Rivian’s modular skateboard platform and Amazon’s logistics as examples of future-proofing. Groover warns against 'best and breed' IT strategies, advocating instead for a common operational picture and distributed manufacturing to overcome supply chain fragility and inflation.

    The Shared Responsibility of Upskilling the Workforce w/ Bill Berrien

    Bill Berrien, CEO of Pindal Global Precision and Liberty Precision Manufacturing, discusses upskilling the existing manufacturing workforce as a solution to labor shortages, drawing parallels between his Navy SEAL background and modern shop floor operations. He argues against the fallacy that education ends in the first 25 years of life, advocating for industry-led, continuous professional development modeled after the military's NCO corps structure. Berrien highlights specific success stories at his Wisconsin facility, such as material handlers becoming CNC operators, and proposes a 'shared economy' model for training to increase scalability.

    Rethinking Contested Logistics with Austin Gray, Co-Founder of Blue Water Autonomy

    Austin Gray, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Blue Water Autonomy, discusses the company's development of unmanned surface vessels (USVs) for contested logistics, drawing on his experience as a Navy Intelligence Officer and his time working in a drone factory in Ukraine. Gray argues that the US Navy needs a fleet of cheap, attritable vessels rather than relying solely on large, expensive ships, and highlights the critical need to improve the government feedback loop to accelerate the adoption of such technology by warfighters. He details the significant regulatory and operational hurdles of testing USVs in commercial harbors, such as Boston Harbor, and emphasizes that defense tech offers a rewarding career path for veterans who can leverage their unique credibility and understanding of national security needs.
