Super pumped this morning with @CPBJEvents for the #cpbjcyber symposium. Your time is running out to protect your organization from technology risks.

[CPBJ Events @CPBJEvents]

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!

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

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

[CPBJ Events @CPBJEvents]

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

[CPBJ Events @CPBJEvents]

Correction: Gordon Laabs is with Elsner Engineerig, not Eisner

[CPBJ Events @CPBJEvents]

For every automated role, there are three jobs for humans created, says Palisin. #CPBJMFG

[CPBJ Events @CPBJEvents]

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

[CPBJ Events @CPBJEvents]

Never forget about your human workforce - your employees are indispensable! Cross-training, education, investment, etc. #CPBJMFG #manufacturing #STEM

[CPBJ Events @CPBJEvents]

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

[CPBJ Events @CPBJEvents]

Along with #tech advancements of course comes more #cybersecurity risks, says Dr. Shearrow. #CPBJMFG

[CPBJ Events @CPBJEvents]

#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

[CPBJ Events @CPBJEvents]

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

[CPBJ Events @CPBJEvents]

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

[CPBJ Events @CPBJEvents]

Our first speaker today is Dr. Charles Shearrow, program leader and assoc. prof. of advanced #manufacturing at @HarrisburgU. #CPBJMFG
