In the 73rd episode of Burning Platform, we host (again) Marty Groover, CTO at C5MI
In previous appearances he has talked about applying 4th Industrial Revolution concepts in companies like Caterpillar.
Here we use his new book, Speed of Advance as backdrop to discuss the changed US industrial sector with more reshoring and supply chain rethinking. SoA is a Navy term which calculates the speed of a ship anticipated along an intended track. As a surface warfare officer, Marty Groover spent more than two decades leading an intricate operational symphony of communications processes, computer systems, and weapons programs.
In our digital world, we often underplay the role of the physical, blue collar world - we still have to make, grow, transport, service lots of "stuff". Or we try to just throw technology at the problem and think that will work miracles. The labor shortages, process changes and breakdowns during the last couple of years have been a wake up call.
In this book, Marty shows how to create an enhanced, synchronized system between technology and the people who use it to produce winning results in the 4th Industrial Revolution. The technologies include robotics, 3D printing, IoT and others which are helping redefine the shop floor, the warehouse and so much else.
