Times are changing. We constantly hear about the "shortage of labor" and the "skills gap". The reality is the previous generation of skilled tradesmen and tradeswomen are finishing their careers, and the generation coming up behind them prefers technology over manual labor. How can we leverage the skills of this generation to get more work done with such a shortage of workers? With a background in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, I am a huge fan of making the machines to do work for me.Technology is scary you say? The machine shops of today have already embraced technology. Rarely will you see lathes or mills that are not CNC controlled. And it's far easier to train a CNC operator than to train a highly skilled machinist. Has this technology taken away jobs? Over the years, yes it probably has. But we are seeing increasing numbers of machine shops bring work back from overseas to workers here in North America.In welding and cutting, the repetitive parts been automated now for decades. Look no further than your closest automotive plant - that technology is very mature. The future is automating those parts that are different every time. In the past decade, I have helped dozens of fabricators lower their production costs and increase throughput - often without spending extra money. And when the time is right for technology, we work together to find the best solution that fits the business.
