I dedicate time daily to read up on manufacturing technology and trends across many sectors of the industry. Usually I focus this time on reading blogs, industry articles, and reports that I’ve subscribed to or bookmarked over the years.
On occasion I attend industry events which allows me to talk with industry peers, attend sessions, and get some face time with industry analysts. This is one of my favorite exercises as I get real-time feedback on what’s currently going on with colleagues who are focused on the journey toward smart manufacturing.
