In many instances the biggest challenge facing OT cybersecurity practitioners is knowing where to focus resources, especially their time. In other words, what are the priorities for the enterprise, facility and people?I recently sat down with Securin's Lead Threat Intelligence Analyst - Aviral Verma. And while I anticipated a conversation focused on vulnerabilities and the threat landscape, discussing these topics led to deeper dives on a range of topics that also included breaking down IT/OT silos, artificial intelligence, the dark web and patching strategies. Listen as we discuss:The transformation of threat actors and how they've been able to cut timelines for exploiting vulnerabilities to 15 days.How hackers are using Dark Web versions of ChatGPT to design more effective credential and data harvesting schemes.Why the security of every software platform, especially those embedded within industrial assets, cannot be assumed.How the legacy dynamic of many OT assets has led hackers to exploit vulnerabilities that have been around for as long as five years.Addressing patching challenges by breaking down silos and getting a deeper understanding of the unique elements of each OT environment.How threat detection needs to evolve, especially with state-sponsored hackers executing "quieter" strategies for attacking manufacturing and critical infrastructure. As a go-to podcast for our listeners, we want to help you align your brand with our expertise.

A lot of people drink coffee in the morning to kickstart the day. Interestingly, how you drink it (when, how many cups, length of time between cups, etc.) influences the kick that you get. This episode begins by explaining the best way to consume your morning brew for maximum benefit. https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/health/a15327/coffee-most-caffeine/ I'm sure you've had a gut feeling about something. You didn't have to think about it – you just knew! That is your intuition at work. But what is it? Is intuition just a knee jerk reaction to something or is it something more – perhaps some deep inner wisdom? Is it reliable? Should you trust it? Joining me to talk about that is Elizabeth Greenwood. She is a writer whose work has appeared in the New York Times, The New Yorker, Esquire, and GQ, and she is author of a book called Everyday Intuition: What Psychology, Science, and Psychics Can Teach Us About Finding and Trusting Our Inner Voice (https://amzn.to/3H0TN4U). It is astonishing to contemplate all the things around you that have been manufactured. Everything you can see that is not a plant, an animal or dirt – someone manufactured it. That means a person designed it, got the materials, assembled it, packaged it up and shipped it. How does that happen? What is the process that keeps it all going? Here to discuss this is Tim Minnshall. He is an engineering academic who works at the University of Cambridge, and he is author of the book, How Things Are Made: A Journey Through the Hidden World of Manufacturing (https://amzn.to/43bsRHf). Why do cars break down? Surprisingly, they mostly break down for just one of a few reasons – which are often preventable. Listen as I reveal what those reasons are and how to prevent them from happening. https://roadsidesurvival.com/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

President Donald Trump talks a lot about wanting to build more stuff here in the U.S. But the future of manufacturing might not even be on earth, but in orbit.It might sound kind of out there — or way out there — but space manufacturing is already happening on a small scale. There's a mini boom of companies looking to do more of it, according to recent reporting in Wired by journalist Jonathan O'Callaghan. He says space has some unique qualities that make it attractive for manufacturing.

Send us a textIn this episode, Tiago Matos, Associate Principal Scientist/Associate Director in Bioprocess Drug Substance and Commercialization at Merck & Co., shares a critical insight: continuous manufacturing in biologics currently demands 2–3x more time and FTEs than traditional fed-batch approaches. This highlights both the complexity of the shift - and the urgency for smarter digital tools and cross-functional collaboration.With over a decade of experience and a strong track record in biologics and smart manufacturing, Tiago brings a balanced view of the promise and practical challenges of digital transformation in bioprocessing.Top 3 Takeaways:Continuous Manufacturing is Coming - But Slowly: The infrastructure and tools aren't fully ready. Progress depends on better-integrated solutions and stronger collaboration across industry, equipment providers, and regulators.Collaboration is Key: No one drives transformation alone. Digital, automation, modeling, and process experts must work together - like building a functional protein from diverse amino acids.Digital Twins and AI Will Bridge the Gap: AI, soft sensors, and digital twins will help streamline control strategies. The goal isn't perfect models, but reliable, adaptive systems that improve in real time.Tiago's vision is both realistic and inspiring: the future of biologics manufacturing lies in openness, teamwork, and continuous learning.What challenges or questions do you face in the shift to digital bioprocessing?Here is what other guests had to say on this topic:Episodes 5-6: Hybrid Modeling: The Key to Smarter Bioprocessing with Michael Sokolov;Episodes 85-86: Bioprocess 4.0: Integrated Continuous Biomanufacturing with Massimo Morbidelli;Episodes 121-122: The Transformative World of Digital Solutions in Bioprocessing with Simon Wieninger.Connect with Tiago Matos:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/tiagobmatosMerck & Co.: www.merck.comNext step:Transform your bioprocess development strategy with a complimentary consultation.

"Cash strapped" might be the most heard phrase in the cannabis industry right now.So… where's the cash?Without disciplined forecasting and visibility into true costs, growth is meaningless. Most companies aren't failing from bad ideas — they're failing in execution. That's where cash leaks into missed forecasts, bloated inventory, and lost opportunity.Cash flow isn't a quarterly metric — it has to be a daily focus.The ones with visibility are growing profitably and setting themselves up to survive now and thrive later.This week we sit down with Tyler Nielsen to discuss:• Closing the Execution Gap and unlocking hidden cash• How to identify leaks and improve visibility across the business• Connecting the front of the house to the back for real-time decision makingChapters00:00 Introduction to Vast Insights Partners01:23 Tyler's Journey into the Cannabis Industry02:39 Defining Growth vs. Profitability05:14 Executive Alignment and Operational Execution07:10 Integration Process for Cannabis Businesses09:23 Granularity of Data and Internal Audits12:19 Coaching vs. Hands-On Execution15:27 Building Trust and Transparency18:43 Common Inventory Challenges in Cannabis21:03 Proactive Inventory Management Strategies29:08 Navigating KPIs in a Complex Supply Chain32:40 The Importance of Integrated Business Planning34:25 Cash Flow: The Lifeblood of Business37:28 Visibility Tools: Bridging the Execution Gap40:25 Understanding the Value of Engagement43:14 Coaching and Leadership in Operational Change47:28 Identifying Common Operational Issues50:33 Tailoring Solutions for Smaller OrganizationsGuest Links https://www.linkedin.com/company/vast-insight-partners/https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylernielsen/https://www.vastinsightpartners.com/Our LinksOur Links Bryan Fields on TwitterKellan Finney on TwitterThe Dime on TwitterAt Eighth Revolution (8th Rev), we provide services from capital to cannabinoid and everything in between in the cannabinoid industry.8th Revolution Cannabinoid Playbook is an Industry-leading report covering the entire cannabis supply chain The Dime is a top 5% most shared  global podcastThe Dime is a top 10 Cannabis Podcast The Dime has a New Website.

In this episode of The Kula Ring, Nelson Bruton, Founder of Manufacturing Chats, joins Carman and Jeff to explore the role of live chat in modern B2B manufacturing websites. Nelson shares how real-time, human-enabled chat, not bots, can unlock conversions from prospects who would otherwise stay silent. Drawing from 20 years in the digital space, he outlines why staffing chat with internal teams often falls short, and how businesses can successfully integrate chat into their buyer engagement strategy without overwhelming their teams. Whether you're considering bots, hybrid AI, or fully staffed human support, this episode offers clear advice on how to maximize conversations and move beyond form fills.

Critical minerals are required for the manufacturing of electronics, aerospace equipment, medical devices, and renewable energy technologies, making them essential for a country's economic and national security. These materials have been at the center of China's domestic and foreign policy for many decades, and China's ability to integrate internal industrial policies with foreign trade and investment policies has allowed them to gain dominance in the market. Meanwhile, the US has lagged behind China in terms of both access to and processing technology of critical minerals. The country has been heavily dependent on China for its critical minerals and struggles to find an alternative supplier.China's announcement to impose export restrictions on seven rare earth elements on April 4th has opened many conversations surrounding critical minerals, especially regarding the US and its supply chain vulnerabilities. What has China done to achieve their global dominance in the critical minerals sector, and what can the US do to address the overdependence issue they are facing today? To answer these questions and more, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Gracelin Baskaran, the director of the Critical Minerals Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. She is a mining economist whose area of expertise is critical minerals and trade. Timestamps[00:00] Start[02:13] US Dependencies on Rare Earths and Critical Minerals[03:51] Sourcing from Latin America, Africa, and Asia[06:28] Environmental Harm from Mining and Processing[08:11] Deliberate Suppression of the Price of Rare Earths in the Market[11:06] Chinese Exports Restrictions on Seven Rare Earth Elements[14:08] US Administrations' Approaches to Critical Minerals Vulnerability[20:02] 2010 Fishing Boat Accident and Japan's Response [24:00] What might China do moving forward? [27:42] Timeframe for the US to Catch Up to China

What happens when a young marketer decides to stop chasing every client and instead zeroes in on one industry? You get Gorilla 76—a leading agency that's spent nearly two decades helping B2B manufacturers connect, grow, and lead. In this special episode of MakingChips, the team sits down with Joe Sullivan, co-founder of Gorilla 76 and host of three powerhouse podcasts, to officially welcome him into the MakingChips Network. Joe opens up about the early missteps of trying to be everything to everyone—and how discovering a niche in mid-size manufacturers changed the game. The conversation touches on everything from how content marketing builds trust, to why ditching a break-even product line can be the smartest growth move you'll ever make. Along the way, the hosts reflect on their own decisions to niche down, double down, and expand the MakingChips mission. But this episode isn't just a reunion. It's a launchpad. Joe and the team announce the addition of “The Manufacturing Executive,” “The Manufacturing Marketer,” and “The Manufacturing Employer” to the MakingChips Network—further cementing their collective goal: to equip and inspire the next generation of manufacturing leaders.

Manufacturing employment has been declining as a share of total employment in the U.S. What's driving this decline? Does the reduction in manufacturing employment represent a natural progression as economies evolve? Can manufacturing jobs today offer a stable, well-paying means of employment for those without a college education? If not, what policies can help those without a college education find careers that offer a path to the middle class? Robert Lawrence joins EconoFact Chats to discuss these questions. Robert is the Albert L. Williams Professor of International Trade and Investment at the Harvard Kennedy School. He served as a member of the President's Council of Economic Advisors from 1998 to 2000. His latest book is 'Behind the Curve: Can Manufacturing Still Provide Inclusive Growth?'

The electronics manufacturing landscape is undergoing a significant transformation as companies seek global capabilities and strategic advantages in a post-pandemic world. Chaim from Lincoln International, the largest global investment bank focused on private capital markets, shares exclusive insights from decades of orchestrating EMS mergers and acquisitions.After a flurry of private equity-driven consolidation between 2015 and early 2020, M&A activity experienced a predictable downturn during COVID and subsequent supply chain challenges. Now, the market is rebounding with renewed vigor, driven by companies pursuing geographic diversification and vertical integration. This resurgence combines both private equity interest and strategic buyers seeking competitive advantages.What stands out clearly is the critical importance of global agility. Manufacturing leaders face difficult decisions about establishing or expanding operations across various regions including the US, Mexico, and Southeast Asia. Those who can provide customers with production flexibility across multiple geographies possess a significant competitive advantage in today's uncertain regulatory and tariff environment. As Chaim explains, "The best players, the ones that can serve their customers in the way that the customers want, are the ones that have the ability to be global."For companies considering their strategic options, preparation trumps perfect timing. While cultural fit remains important for integration success, the factors that truly drive valuation multiples are operational fundamentals: revenue growth, profit margins, target markets, and customer relationships. Despite fluctuating transaction volume, multiples have remained relatively stable, reflecting the enduring strategic value of well-positioned manufacturing partners.Whether you're considering acquiring capabilities, expanding your global footprint, or planning an eventual exit, understanding these market dynamics is essential. EMS@C-Level Live at APEX is sponsored by global inspection leaders Koh Young (https://www.kohyoung.com) and Creative Electron (https://creativeelectron.com)EMS@C-Level is sponsored by global inspection leaders Koh Young (https://www.kohyoung.com) and Creative Electron (https://creativeelectron.com) You can see video versions of all of the EMS@C-Level pods on our YouTube playlist.
