The Rise of the Frontline Engineer: Driving Digital Transformation on the Shop Floor

This week’s guests are Ryan Infantozi (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-infantozzi-202ab723b/) of VEKA, Esmeralda Gonzalez (https://www.linkedin.com/in/esmeralda-gonzalez-m/) of Stanley Black & Decker, and Cuyler Monahan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/cuylermonahan/) of Agility EMS. The three represent a new generation of frontline engineers—dedicated shop floor problem solvers applying digital technology to tackle the diverse set of challenges each of their operations face on a daily basis. The three share best practices and lessons learned on the shop floor, how manufacturers can attract the next generation of engineers and operators, and their take on the pros and cons of a citizen development approach to digital transformation. Augmented Ops is a podcast for industrial leaders, citizen developers, shop floor operators, and anyone else that cares about what the future of frontline operations will look like across industries.
