Super pumped this morning with @CPBJEvents for the #cpbjcyber symposium. Your time is running out to protect your organization from technology risks.
And that’s a wrap on another great #CPBJMFG symposium! A lot of great discussion and questions. Thanks to our attendees, sponsors, speakers and panelists!
Our final panel of #CPBJMFG will be about the #manufacturing workforce. Panelists are, from left to right: Brian Hess of @AstroMachineInc, John Lloyd of @MANTECPA, Tom Palisin of @MfgrsAssoc and Gordon Laabs of Eisner Engineering Works
Demographic changes (retiring #babyboomers) is one major factor driving the #workershortage, says Tom Palisin of @MfgrsAssoc. Many, if not all, of the association’s members are hiring and will continue to be hiring for the foreseeable future. #CPBJMFG #manufacturing
Brian Hess of @AstroMachineInc shares his companies long-standing flexible work schedule policy, which has been in place since before he started there two decades ago. Workers arrive anywhere between 5-7:30 a.m., allowing for family or other obligations. #CPBJMFG
For every automated role, there are three jobs for humans created, says Palisin. #CPBJMFG
From Dr. Shearrow’s talk about #tech in #manufacturing, we go right in to a panel discussion about it. From left to right: Seth Bray of @pennair, David Skelton of @PhoenixContact, Sonya Zook and Dough Ankney from @ArmstrongFloor
#CPBJMFG
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time, says Dr. Shearrow. How do you implement latest overwhelming amount of #tech in #manufacturing? Step by step, starting with augmenting your current #workforce. #CPBJMFG
Never forget about your human workforce - your employees are indispensable! Cross-training, education, investment, etc. #CPBJMFG #manufacturing #STEM
Along with #tech advancements of course comes more #cybersecurity risks, says Dr. Shearrow. #CPBJMFG
#IoT and #AugmentedReality go hand-in-hand in #manufacturing and understanding machines, says Dr. Shearrow. IoT takes data and makes it real-world ready for use with #AR. #CPBJMFG
Ever heard of a #digitaltwin? It’s a digital replica of physical assets, a simulation that uses #AI and analytics to better understand customer wants and needs, says Dr. Shearrow. #CPBJMFG #manufacturing
Dr. Shearrow is outlining the wide range of digital advancements that are becoming mainstream in #manufacturing, from cloud-based real-time tracking of production to #automation. #CPBJMFG
Our first speaker today is Dr. Charles Shearrow, program leader and assoc. prof. of advanced #manufacturing at @HarrisburgU. #CPBJMFG – at Pennsylvania, USA
Thank you to our other presenting sponsor today, Weldon Solutions, as well as supporting sponsors @AmesTools, Cumberland Area Economic Development Corp., @SpilmanLaw and @MfgrsAssoc! #CPBJMFG – at Pennsylvania, USA
Leigh Ann Wilson of @MANTECPA, a presenting sponsor of today’s #CPBJMFG, shares a clever #manufacturing-themed riff on the classic #TwastheNightBeforeChristmas rhyme
