Irish Engineering Executive Brilliance

So last week I had an amazing learning experience around true professionalism on how to administer a highly regulated large manufacturing company. They constantly beat their global competition hands down, year on year.

I wanted to understand more about best lean optimisation in the manufacturing of low to medium volume equipment from a commercial viewpoint. As a precision manufacturing engineer with vast international experience across several sectors, I have observed and worked with all sorts of philosophies, attitudes and systems. I really admired the likes of many OEM multi-nationals for strategy, communication and execution but I could also see weaknesses in personalisation, real inclusive team culture for long-term, stimulated retention despite their wonderful HR packages.

I clearly witnesses top-class leadership that empowers their entire workforce while nailing their customers consistent on-time delivery schedules, leveraging off closed loop technology with quality management systems. It solidified my confidence in Irish state-of-the-art engineering competence across the entire value chain.

We hear so much about digital manufacturing these days, especially after covid, and observing this company in action really inspired me no end, and hard for me to share in a simple blog.

However, my knowledge for total ownership with fully integrated engineering support is the way forward so we stay relevant in this ever-changing world.

If you need your complex equipment manufactured in small to medium volumes, contact me and I will integrate you with the right total cost of ownership supply partner.

Why Ireland: Factories of the Future

As we all know manufacturing industries are faced with significant paradigm shifts with the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution known as Industry 4.0 or Factory 4.0 with the introduction of game-changing ways to design and manufacture products such as Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing.

Advanced Manufacturing Ireland is at the cutting edge of these inflection points working with industry leaders to help integrate customers in parallel to the technology.

Under Factory 4.0, the introduction of next generation technologies is allowing for very complex connection of everything on the manufacturing floors with IoT* in conjunction will all sorts of measurement devices, automation and data analysis communications.

This technology as well as supply chain reliability (due to logistical costs, regulation etc.) are causing customers to re-evaluate their supply strategies. Last week, one large multinational customer stated that reliability was their #1 driver, as the cost of being late to their customer is significantly greater than trying to save some money from lower-cost countries.

How times have changed since covid and on advancement of technology. I feel privileged living in a thriving safe economy in Ireland with confidence we will continue to stay sovereign, free from war with an ever increasing educated workforce.

Best Regards,

5 Reasons (+ 1 Bonus Reason) to Attend Trade Shows and Exhibitions

Should you attend exhibitions?

The answer is a resounding YES!

As the world lifts out of a near post-pandemic scrap to survive, missing out on fully accessible events and exhibitions could mean missing out some great opportunities to not only heal your business, but to expand your business. Here are our top 5 reasons to make sure a representative of your company attends these events:

1. Industry Knowledge
With innovators and technology continually evolving, exhibitions are a great way to keep up-to-date on industry know-how, tools, facilitators, resources, suppliers, trends, products and so much more.

2. Trial and Error
Why make mistakes yourself when your competitors can do it for you! Exhibitions enable you to check out what your competitors are doing, their products, presence (branding, messaging and personality), industry direction and attendee interest. All of this gives you an insight into what works and what doesn’t so your business and marketing efforts can be focused solely on what does work.

3. Brand Awareness & Marketing
As an exhibitor, not only can you use these events as a platform to showcase your company’s offerings, capabilities and personality, but you can also gain free social media exposure by piggybacking off the event’s own social media activity on the day. And all of this TO YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE!
Even as a visitor, you can still market your company to a degree by one-to-one engagement with stallholders and other guests. It’s really a no-brainer!

4. Tap into a Pool of Potential Clients
No matter what level your business is at, or even what role you have in the company, networking is a must. Exhibitions and trade shows provide a pool of potential clients, potentials suppliers and even potential supporters. This is where you can leverage the power of events through the connections it attracts. Out of this hub of industry experts, you can establish one-to-one friendships and allies by sharing your USP through personal connection.

This point cannot be underestimated!

5. Prospecting > Leads > Sales!
You just might have the opportunity to sell by leveraging off an already engaged gathering of people. If not a closed deal, you can certainly prospect and generate valuable leads.

BONUS REASON – Get Out of the Office & Get in With Your Tribe!
Having so many restrictions has kept us indoors for far too long. As facilitators to the industry (both suppliers and customers), physically integrating into the world of manufacturing in all its glory is like food for the soul! It truly is.

We’re currently at the Med-Tech Innovation Expo at the NEC in Birmingham, UK. With over 4000 attendees and floorspace so large it requires trainers or other suitable footwear to comfortably manage all the walking (see photo for evidence), we are absolutely LOVING meeting industry peers and meeting new people!

When you get out and about, visiting like-minded industry experts, employees and fans, you know you’re in your tribe and your confidence to expand your horizons for your business will hit the roof!

So get out there folks, and start attending relevant trade shows and exhibitions now!

Diagnostics as a need-to-have, not a nice-to-have

Today, an estimated 70% of medical decisions depend on lab tests for diagnosis or treatment. By allowing for early-stage interventions, thus reducing late-stage complications, diagnostic testing plays a critical role in routine patient management and holds incredible promise for improving healthcare delivery at scale. The new generation of diagnostics and their impact in transforming how we currently access, test, and deliver routine care.

 

Diagnostics as a Need-to-Have, Not a Nice-to-Have

Our healthcare system is heavily focused on treatment, not diagnostics. As an example, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed fault lines within our current healthcare system. At its onset, patients were treated largely based on symptoms because COVID-19 diagnostic tests were not widely available. The absence of widespread COVID-19 diagnostic testing limited scientific understanding of the virus and thus, delayed the development of treatment protocols.  But it doesn’t have to be this way – the transition from the central lab to the point-of-care model for routine tests is already underway.

 

Diagnostics Non-Negotiables: Accuracy, Speed, and Cost-Effectiveness

If you’re going to diagnose infections, it should be done in less than ten minutes, for less than ten dollars, with less than a tenth grade education. And you have to do all of this without sacrificing accuracy or negative predictive value. Industry experts agreed that ease of use is key to realising the full potential of diagnostics in anticipating, intercepting, and preventing diseases early – especially among asymptomatic patients.

As medicine shifts towards a more preventive model, timely and accurate diagnostics will be more important than ever before. Experts say that patients who get routine screenings have the best chance for positive health outcomes because clinical decision-making will be tailored to a correct understanding of the disease.

Dynamic Innovations vision for Modular Automation instrument manufacturing is to help the diagnostic industry by expanding their versatile capabilities to get these disruptive instruments to market fast. Modular Automation’s value engineer expertise supports scaling companies get to market in an efficient predictable manner.
