What does it take to move from automation hype to practical, scalable solutions on the factory floor?In this deep-dive episode of Manufacturing Hub, recorded live at the ProveIt Conference, we're joined by Benson Hougland, Vice President at Opto 22—a company that has been quietly shaping the future of industrial automation for over 50 years.Benson walks us through the journey of Opto 22: from its roots as the birthplace of the solid-state relay to becoming a leader in edge-native control platforms with the groov EPIC and groov RIO product lines.

Electrical monitoring and stimulation could revolutionise diagnosis and treatment for some of the most aggressive brain cancers and intractable neurological diseases.In glioblastoma, a particularly aggressive brain tumour that is hard to treat and almost invariably fatal, the impacts of an effective treatment would be huge.My guest in this episode, Dr Elise Jenkins, is working with a new class of therapeutic brain-computer-interface (BCI) that can measure and disrupt neural signalling within the body. With this technology she and her team are creating breakthroughs in new materials and electronics to develop safe, minimally invasive interfaces to interact with the complex biology of the brain. That will lead to earlier detection of new tumours, and could pave the way for new treatments. Elise shares her journey from aspiring medical doctor to electrical engineer to leading a neurotechnology startup. She discusses the many difficult challenges of engineering tiny bioelectronic devices, and the importance of understanding brain activity in cancer progression for them to be a success.We also touch on regulatory hurdles, funding strategies, and the future potential of the technology in both cancer and non-cancer applications.Elise and her team are looking to create a new approach to healthcare which will change the lives of millions.“We're looking at how to slow down cancer growth.” – Elise JenkinsYou'll hear about:01:06 - Elise Jenkins and OptoBioSystems02:30 - Elise's Journey into Science and Engineering05:42 - Understanding Bioelectronics and Neural Interfaces09:01 - Exploring Glioblastoma and Its Challenges12:18 - Measuring Brain Activity and Cancer Progression16:30 - The Role of Implants in Cancer Treatment19:14 - Engineering Challenges in Medical Devices22:57 - Wireless Power and Data Transmission Innovations25:20 - Regulatory Considerations for Medical Devices28:14 - Future Directions and Broader Applications33:24 - Funding and Company DevelopmentConnect with Elise Jenkins: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/elise-jenkins-/Opto - https://www.opto.bio/Find out about opportunities with Opto - https://www.opto.bio/teamConnect with me:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markdavison100/ If you need any lab equipment:Grant Instruments: https://www.grantinstruments.com/ Grant Instruments on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/grant-instruments-cambridge-ltd/

Jason Hamlin | Operations @ Instrulogic, LLCMaking science fiction real... Ever wonder how industrial automation works? I have the privilege of helping design and build the systems which power it! At Instrulogic, I help to build cutting-edge control systems which don't (always) cost as much as a Deathstar. I thrive working in critical infrastructure, with water/wastewater being incredibly close to my heart. I enjoy being conservative with customer resources and liberal with my own. And I firmly believe adding value to those I work with is mutually beneficial, and I am humbled to help lead a company with the same belief.Join Manufacturing Hub as we dive into an area of integration that has been lacking in the past. Public Works, specifically Water and Wastewater integrations. Of everyone Dave knows who works in this area, we cannot think of someone with the combination of experience and forward-looking vision than Jason. Plus if we're going to get someone on who has tech to rival Vlad... there's a very small list!A big thank you to Opto 22 for sponsoring this theme and your continued support of the community.Connect with Us Jason Hamlin Vlad Romanov Dave Griffith Manufacturing Hub SolisPLC #manufacturing #automation #engineering #industry40
