What is Industry 4.0? It includes applied and incremental automation as well as advanced manufacturing methods. Principals can be learned from other industries and applied to just about any sector. What can the construction industry learn from experts who excel in their respective industry? What tasks can we automate to better apply precious resources like skilled labor to solve for more complicated, global problems?
Glenn Ford, VP of West Coast Operations, Volumetric Building Company joins Dave Cooper LIVE to see how this industrial revolution can bring advanced manufacturing techniques to the construction sector, delivering a world of intelligent productivity and efficiency.
Glenn Ford, VP of West Coast Operations at Volumetric Building Companies as we discuss the impact and potential Industry 4.0 in the construction sector.
The term Industry 4.0 encompasses a promise of a new industrial revolution—one that marries advanced manufacturing techniques with the Internet of Things to create manufacturing systems that are not only interconnected, but communicate, analyze, and use information to drive further intelligent action back in the physical world.
So please welcome Glenn Ford, VP of west coast operations at Volumetric Building Companies. With over 40 years aerospace leadership experience at leading companies such as Sikorsky Aircraft, Pratt & Whitney, Aurora Flight Sciences, USAF and the B&E Group, His technical experience spans engineering, manufacturing operations, quality, SCM, ILS, and program management.
