A career in emergency response taught the speaker that technology must be intuitive and reliable to work when it matters most. Those lessons now shape his approach to manufacturing tech: the same principles that save lives in the field amplify safety and productivity on the shop floor.
You could say that emergency response and life safety was really in my blood. So when I transitioned from the response side, 'cause we all get older, of life safety to the technology side, all those lessons that I learned in the field really shaped the way I approached the work, right? Because I really had a good understanding on how critical it is for technology to be intuitive and reliable, right? Yeah. Right? It's got to be easy to use and it's got to deliver, right? Because that maximizes the effectiveness that protects on the life safety side both victims and responders. And those kind of experiences translated very nicely as I came over here to the manufacturing sector, you know, and we started to explore Industry 4.0's potential. Because even though the focus is different, Is just as critical for the technology to be intuitive and reliable. And the technology, like in life safety, can be a powerful force multiplier, right? Because on the life safety side, it enables response teams to operate more effectively and create a safer environment for everybody. And in the manufacturing sector, where intuitive technology can again become a powerful force multiplier, it also helps create a safer workplace, right? So it's not just more productive, it's also safer.
