Summary In this episode of Chattinn Cyber, Marc Schein sits down to chat with Paul Dowding, co-founder and head of design at L4S Corporation, focusing on blockchain technology and its real-world applications. Paul, an authority on digital assets, begins by demystifying blockchain for novices, describing it as a distributed ledger system that eliminates reliance on central authorities for transaction validation. He explains the intricate process of trust-building within blockchain through mathematical hashing, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize peer-to-peer transactions and reduce errors. The dialogue delves into Paul's journey into blockchain, revealing his unique background in operational infrastructure and encryption. He recounts how his expertise in engineering and global banking operations converged, leading him to explore blockchain's capabilities and limitations. Paul's insights shed light on the challenges faced by early blockchain solutions and the development of Tapestry X, a distributed ledger designed to meet scalability, interoperability, and real-time processing needs. Marc and Paul explore the intersection of blockchain with AI, highlighting opportunities for algorithmic inference and auditable record-keeping within blockchain networks. They envision a future where blockchain simplifies transactions to the extent of communication protocols, ushering in an era of seamless peer-to-peer interactions. Paul underscores the potential of blockchain in diverse sectors like capital markets, supply chain management, healthcare, and identity verification, showcasing the versatility and adaptability of L4S Corporation's offerings. The conversation concludes with Paul extending an invitation for further engagement through LinkedIn and TapestryX.com, emphasizing the accessibility of blockchain technology for businesses and individuals alike. His closing remarks underscore the transformative nature of blockchain as a process engineering and operational control innovation, urging listeners to perceive it beyond mere technological novelty. The dialogue encapsulates the profound impact of blockchain on transactional efficiency, trust-building, and future digital economies, setting the stage for continued exploration and innovation in this dynamic field. Key Takeaways Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that allows peer-to-peer transactions without a central authority. It uses cryptographic hashing to ensure data integrity. Blockchain has the potential to simplify transactions, reduce errors, and enable near real-time settlement. It could be as transformative as the internet protocol. Paul got involved with blockchain in 2014-2015 when enterprises were starting to explore it. He saw limitations in early solutions which led to developing Tapestry. There are opportunities to use blockchain to track what data AI bots have absorbed, creating an auditable record. AI could also potentially help drive what gets recorded on a blockchain. Tapestry is a configurable, scalable blockchain solution focused on accounting to enable real-time transactions. It is industry-agnostic and can be used for supply chain, healthcare, voting, and more. Key Quotes [00:03:10] "So there's a mathematical way to give your own ledger so that you can trust other people based on what you see, not what they present to you. And then there's a method of agreeing it across the ledger. And so this allows, rather than you transacting through central authorities, what bitcoin really showed the world was you could transact peer-to-peer, or b-to-b, without that central authority, which then means you can settle in hours, minutes, or not seconds." [00:06:15] "The […] origination of what became Tapestry X was going back to the basics and saying, okay, let's take the blockchain concepts, but design a distributed ledger that meets the requirements, configurability, scalability, high capacity,

Jim RIeke is Vice President of Process Engineering at Veolia Water Technologies. Within the Veolia Galaxy, we focus today on HPD: Large-scale, highly-integrated process solutions utilizing evaporation, crystallization, and more. If you recall what Tony Strobbe shared on this microphone a couple of weeks ago: "if you ship spodumene concentrate across the ocean, you ship 6% what you want, and 94% what you don't want." 6% is the highest you will get in lithium from hard rock, after onsite concentration from the natural 1.5% lithium content in the best spodumenes. To get to the battery grade 99.95%, you hence need to refine that lithium, a quite specific and key process along the EV material supply chain, in which HPD specializes - in a way Jim will explain in a minute. That said specialization doesn't stop at lithium from hard rock, though, as we'll discover with use cases from clay, Direct Lithium Extraction, and maybe the most spectacular example, with Veolia's latest reference in refining lithium from evaporation ponds. The way these projects are built is quite revealing of the pace of this sector as well, as Jim will describe how it can sometimes take up to seven years to freeze the process design. It's also a fascinating blueprint for circular economy and resource recovery, as by-products can be upcycled and sometimes even directly used again in the refining process.

In this episode, we brought on two guests: Kevin Capatch, the Director of Process Engineering for Geisinger, which is a regional health provider out of Pennsylvania that services roughly 3 million people across 45 different counties in Pennsylvania, and Vicky Lyle, she's the Vice President of Industry Relations for Owens and Minor. They both discuss medical recalls, the current process, and where we are going in the future. Today, we're making great strides into automation for these recalls, but we still have a lot more to do and we need everyone involved. Please join us as Kevin and Vicky dive into the challenges the healthcare industry faces in managing recalls for medical devices and how automation and data standards like Unique Device Identification (UDI) can address these issues. Key takeaways: The Internet is a powerful tool for collaboration and problem-solving, with significant untapped potential. There is a clear affinity for the Internet, citing its ability to connect people from different backgrounds and enable collaborative problem-solving. We are only starting to scratch the surface of what is possible with this technology, but there is still much to be discovered and leveraged in the years to come. Automation and UDI hold promise for improved recall management. Despite the challenges of recall management in healthcare, there are several promising advancements in the field. Automation has increased in recent years, improving efficiency in the recall management process. The implementation of UDIs (Unique Device Identifiers) has likewise shown promise, as they can help to quickly locate products during a recall and provide more specific information beyond a catalog number. Enriching medical records with specific product information can lead to more detailed analytics. There are a variety of potential benefits of enriching medical records with specific product information, such as catalog numbers and lot numbers. This data can provide medical professionals with more detailed analytics on patient outcomes and device performance, leading to better research opportunities and ultimately, better patient care.

"We estimate that potentially 25 to 30% of the overall effort on smaller brownfield projects is in just trying to find reliable records that can be edited and updated to address whatever project you're trying to do." In this episode, I'm in conversation with Scott Mussbacher, who is the Systems Integration Business Unit Manager at Vista Projects, an engineering, procurement and construction company based in Calgary. Construction engineering is critical to the oil and gas industry because the industry is capital intense–pipelines, refineries, tanks, processing plants all need complex engineering to make them functional, safe, and cost effective. Scott is helping to reimagine the interface between the build phase of an engineering project and the operate phase – how does the information generated in build play a role in operations. "When a regulator visits, they give you a couple of weeks notice. And it's typically a big scramble to try to find the documentation, the maintenance records, the data sheets, and all the information about some asset in their sights." Scott Mussbacher leads Vista's System Integration team, and works closely with Vista's Process Engineering and Project Management teams. Scott has a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering and a Master of Science in Chemical Engineering – both from the University of Alberta, and is a member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA). Scott is an expert in process engineering, project management and data-centric project execution. As the System Integration Manager, Scott leverages his expertise to guide the team through the development of digital twins for multiple clients in diverse industries. With his unique background, he brings a holistic approach to digital twins to enhance value from initial project conception through to operations and maintenance. "An engineer does not want to be trying to find where their issues are, find where there's concerns. They want to be focused on innovative ways to solve those problems. And so you're really taking out some of the worst part of our job as engineers trying to find problems, and really focusing on the value added tasks for the project." Scott has contributed to many client's research and development programs by leveraging his graduate school education and experience in process engineering and management. Scott has also presented his research and expertise at multiple conferences and exhibitions.

"You can't really connect the dots moving forward, but you can connect them backwards once you make sense of it." In this episode, I'm in conversation with Christian Retek who is the Chief Revenue Officer at Flutura. The topic is ‘process engineer meets data science'. You can substitute any engineering discipline for process engineering, and the concepts in this episode still hold—how do you introduce data science ideas and solutions into highly risk-averse, change-hesitant industries like oil and gas? "I describe processing engineering as the understanding and application of the fundamental principles and laws of nature that allow humans to transform raw material and energy into products that are useful to society." Christian Retek is currently serving as the Chief Revenue Officer at Flutura and is a specialist in designing scalable, replicable sales processes for digital innovations across Education, Defense, Construction & Oil & Gas. Flutura helps refineries, gas processing & chemical manufacturing plants successfully automate the prediction of equipment failures, process upsets and swings in quality using their aggregate plant data & camera footage.

Diese sollen dann in der Lage sein, technologisch fortschrittliche Produktionsprozesse, Digitalisierung und Nachhaltigkeit zu kombinieren. Wir haben mit dem Leiter des Innovation Engineering Center von Fraunhofer Italia, Prof. Dominik Matt, darüber gesprochen, wie Fraunhofer-Forschung auf italienisch aussieht und wie künstliche Intelligenz in der Anwendung für mehr Nachhaltigkeit sorgt.
Dylan discusses Process Engineering for easy and big security wins. Dylan explains simplifying the "jibber jabber" for the non technical to make cyber security accessible to all. He elaborates on the true goal of what we do, to reduce the frequency and impact of being stolen from. What other things can we do to achieve that goal other than spending lots of money on tech? There is tremendous value in making things simple and easier for customers and vendors. Understanding a businesses main concern is to make money, cyber security is a part of that. Cyber Security needs to be in line with the business goals and learn to meet business leaders and partners where they are. Learn to help them specifically and individually. Don't refer to other departments in the business as a "cultural other". Cyber security is not outside the business, but a part of it. All departments work together to achieve the same goal, and not in competition or opposition to each other. There are numerous process changes that can be made for businesses of all sizes to add value and make work easier. Cyber Security isn't so much a cop, but should be more like a lawyer or doctor and help those other people learn to better protect themselves.

Governments are spending big on electrical infrastructure upgrades and flagging that the future of industry is going to be powered exclusively with electricity with grid scale storage and export with batteries and hydrogen. Many mineral or chemical processes haven't had the opportunity to make use of low cost, renewable electricity because availability of proven, large scale, electric fired thermal processing hasn't been available until now. The next 10 years is going to see significant shifts in costs and processing methods to more sustainable energy sources. A shift to processes which are more flexible in energy source and feedstock. A seismic shift in Process Engineering, Economics and Profitability is here today. Is your business ready for the coming decade? Calix electric calcination is the next step in thermal mineral processing. The world is shifting from the use of fossil fuels over to clean, adaptable technologies.

In this week's episode of Carbon Removal Newsroom, hosts Radhika Moolgavkar and Dr. Jane Zelikova are joined by Heirloom's Head of Research and Process Engineering, Noah Mcqueen. Heirloom is a Direct Air Capture company that launched in April 2021. Noah and our hosts discuss the science of Heirloom's approach, the techno-economic challenges to scaling DAC, and the kind of continuous research and materials development necessary to grow the industry. In 2021, Noah and several co-authors published a review of existing DAC technologies in the journal Process in Energy. The paper provided a techno-economic assessment of the two most researched and developed DAC methods- liquid solvent and solid sorbent. The researchers used their findings to examine what will be needed to scale up these technologies quickly. They also made recommendations for how research can be directed to support the widespread deployment of DAC. Heirloom received investment from Breakthrough Energy Ventures and Lowercarbon Capital and sold carbon removal credits to Shopify and Stripe. The technique they are pursuing has not been commercialized before and was co-invented by some of the leading experts in the industry, including Dr. Peter Keleman, Dr. Jennifer Wilcox, Dr. Greg Dipple, and Noah. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/carbonremovalnewsroom/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/carbonremovalnewsroom/support

Two pillar key performance indicators (KPI) of employer branding are cost-per-hire and time-to-hire. These two indicators function as a bird's eye look at how your organization is doing from a talent attraction and hiring process perspective. That said, the hiring process - and all its details - is often overlooked as a point of differentiation for organizations. And the candidate experience can really be ruined by a poor or sub-par hiring process.To learn more about Daggerfinn's employer branding and growth strategies practice, visit us at https://daggerfinn.com.

In this months episode, we focus on the brewing and distilling industry, which is part of the hygienic process industries sector, which also covers industries such as food, pharma and biotech. Brewing and distillation have been part of our way of life for over a millennia; with the earliest records of both processes being found in Mesopotamia. Useful Links: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distillation http://se.asee.org/proceedings/ASEE2013/Papers2013/175.PDF While the methods of both distilling and brewing have largely remained unchanged over time, refinements to the processes by which the raw ingredients are handled and combined, has resulted in a multitude of flavours and colours of both alcoholic and now non-alcoholic drinks. Despite the unprecedented impact on the global hospitality sector as a result of the COVID pandemic, appetite for beer and spirits remains strong. Today's brewing and distilling manufacturers rely on a raft of complex technologies covering raw materials handling, production, and waste handling. In each of these, accurate control of product flow is essential to ensure the final product quality is consistently high. This requires multidisciplinary teams covering chemistry, biology and even agriculture to ensure products reach the market in a consistent and safe way for the consumer. But where does the engineer come into this? Well, process optimisation and increased efficiency have been a priority for many brewing and distilling companies over recent decades, and Process engineers have been central to those improvements, developing technologies such as on-line process control, in-place cleaning and energy recovery from steam or fermentation, as well as gaining a greater understanding of fluid flow. Even before a brewery or distillery is built, the engineers are working to understand the requirements such as grain capacity, the size and number of cookers and fermenters and type of still in the case of distilling, as well as Basic Piping Design and sizing. And most important of all, Electrical and Mechanical Engineers determine the power requirements for conveyors to move the grain; mills for grinding; agitators for cookers, fermenters, and beer tubs. As well as the countless pumps and motors that move the fluids throughout the facility. It's safe to say that we wouldn't be able to imbibe our favourite tipple today without the input of the process engineer. Helen's guests this month are George Crombie, Engineering Director for Briggs of Burton. He is responsible for all engineering and automation activities at Briggs and has worked on a number of high-profile global projects across brewing, distilling, spirit storage & packaging, foods and pharmaceuticals. George is a fellow of the IMechE and a Member of Institute of Brewing & Distilling. Marina Ferreira is a chemical engineer. She is a technical specialist and laboratory manager in the Food & Beverage division at Pall Corporation. Marina is passionate about craft brewing and is a home brewer herself. In her work she develops methods for filtering brewing products to enable her customers to create new and improved products. Marina shares her thoughts on health & safety and innovation across the industry. https://www.linkedin.com/in/marina-santos-ferreira-3845a997/ We would love to hear your thoughts and comments on this episode or about your experiences, interest or work in the food & beverage industry.

Process engineering is not something that gets a lot of love during school, so many engineers enter the field without an understanding of what it means to be in process engineering. In practice, it's one of the most important skills an engineer can have because it relates directly to a company's ability to manufacture their product or device. Join us on this episode to hear from Zach O'Ferrell, a master process engineer, about design verification & validation, IQ/OQ/PQ, Lean, Six Sigma, DMAIC, and other tools for optimizing the manufacturing of products.

Today we have a treat for you; we’re going to talk to two bright, young leaders at Advanced Assembly, Chao Vang, who’s the Engineering Manager there, and also Sebastian Weber who’s their Process Engineer. Both have come up through Advanced Assembly, learned in the trenches and they’re going to share great tips with you on how to make sure that your assembly is done right the first time and this will save you a lot of headaches. Show Highlights: Chao’s degree and background are in Computer Engineering and Electronics Technology. She started off at Advanced Assembly ten years ago as the Coding Engineer; did sales for two years, and has been in her current role for two years now. Sebastian has a degree and background in Electronics Engineering and quick-turn assembly. He started as a Receiving & Shipping Supervisor and due to his technical knowledge, gradually got into more technical positions and eventually Process Engineer which he’s been doing for three-and-a-half years. Located in Aurora, Colorado, Advanced Assembly is the original quick-turn PCB assembly service shop; the pioneer in these services 15 years ago. Built from the ground up, they are specifically geared towards prototypes and small quantity quick-turns. Over the years they’ve assembled over 40 000 unique designs. With a staff complement of 105, their focus is that they are real people, with real experiences ensuring their customers get exactly what and when they need it. What happens after you receive the data package and files? Critical files required for DFA (design for assembly) check are: BOM, XYRS (pick and place files), and all the layers of Gerbers which must include copper, paste and silkscreen. For customers who don’t have all the files, we can create them. Most jobs (in fact, 95%, go on hold initially due to missing files. What is the first step for process engineering? Review files for special assembly notes, identify designs that aren’t necessarily the best for manufacturing and communicate on issues long before the actual build. What issues most routinely come up on the process engineering side? Via in pad especially on BGAs, glass top micro-BGAs, overage on very small parts. Common issues in front-end engineering: in the BOM, parts called out are not the same as in the description, for example, capacitors and resistors as well as polarity issues. How many parts on an average board? Between 250 to 500 - the DFA check takes almost two hours depending on complexity and some jobs have thousands of parts. What can your customers do to speed things up? Talk to the assembly house and ask what they need. A schematic and list of special requirements can help tremendously. Tips from engineering: Keep suggestions and feedback from the assembly house and do these implementations upon the next revision to avoid rework and related costs. How would customer’s implementing your suggestions impact you as an assembler? Mostly shorten lead time by preventing jobs from going on hold. Better planning means better results - partner up with your assembler and save money. All front-end engineering is done before a purchase order is even produced, meaning, the customer doesn’t pay for the DFA check. Parts sourced during the quoting phase through proprietary software and Octopart® shortens the sourcing time from an hour, to an average of 5 to 7 minutes! It’s been confirmed that Advanced Assembly will be at AltiumLive, October 9 - 11, 2019 Links and Resources: Bil Herd from Commodore Podcast - Commodore AltiumLive, San Diego, October 2019
Medical devices are a major contributor to the quality of life for many people. To ensure the quality of the medical devices, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has a huge focus on compliance. And medical device manufacturers have been trained and conditioned over the decades to fulfill regulatory compliance in order to do business, with the biggest myth being that compliance to regulations equals quality. Regulations are a phenomenal starting point, but they do not guarantee quality. To address this issue the FDA is piloting a new program: the Medical Device Discovery Appraisal Program (MDDAP). MDDAP is a tailored application of the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) V2.0 that allows a different way of recognizing outcomes and promoting quality. In this episode Cisco Vicenty, Case for Quality, Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) at the FDA talks about quality and MDDAP.Cisco is responsible for the CDRH Voluntary Medical Device Manufacturing and Product Quality Program. He is an experienced Quality Program Manager with a demonstrated history of working in the government administration industry. Cisco is a strong community and social services professional skilled in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Management, Semiconductors, Process Engineering, Engineering, Quality, and Reliability. My favorite quotes from Cisco Vicenty:“The biggest myth is compliance to regulations = quality. Regulations are a phenomenal starting point, but don’t guarantee quality.”“Focusing on what is working and what is not working is a completely different dynamic from compliance.”“Success for the FDA is that the word “compliance” is dropped from the lexicon. Compliance is no longer your end goal, it is a means to provide a base set of stability. Your end goal is delivering the best quality for your customer.”“Startup device manufacturers are spending a lot of money on how to be compliant. MDDAP provides a mechanism that allows them to learn from the beginning to set up a system to deliver the best outcome.”How to reach and stay connected with Cisco Vicenty:Email: francisco.vicenty@fda.hhs.govEmail: caseforquality@fda.hhs.govWeb Site: https://mdic.orgWeb Site: https://search.usa.gov/search?query=mddap&affiliate=fda1Web Site: https://cmmiinstitute.com/products/mddapAbout PPQC:Process and Product Quality Consulting (PPQC) helps global executives tackle complex corporate challenges.To learn more about PPQC, visit www.ppqc.netSupport the show (https://ppqc.net)

Leslie led the launch of Commercial Direct and oversees sales and operations for the entire small-balance commercial lending division of Bayview Asset Management, headquartered in Coral Gables, FL. She has been instrumental in driving productivity and growth for nearly a decade within the Bayview organization. Leslie’s key contributions include building a banker education program, managing the top 50 correspondent relationships, and leading expansion into international markets, as well as overseeing Project Management, Vendor Management and Process Engineering groups within Bayview Loan Servicing. An experienced financial services professional with more than 20 years in the industry, she is a frequent speaker and presenter for national publications and media outlets. Podcast Highlights Who is Leslie Smith? Leslie started her career in a banking call center. That experience taught her to be fast on her feet and solve problems really quickly. This is where she developed her “spidey sense” superpower and allowed her to adjust to what her customers need and adapting to that. She later moved on to another company that was originating commercial loans which is how she got into the loan business. When Leslie was young, she wanted to be a Supreme Court Justice. Leslie has always aimed high for her career. Commercial Lending Small balance means a lot of things to lots of people. It typically means $250,000 to $2 million and Leslie’s average loan size is $400,000. Leslie’s company fills an important gap in the market because most lenders are looking to loan out much larger amounts. Business owners that have made it through the recession have a story that says a lot about them. The person on the other side is almost as important as the data analysis that goes into making a deal. Leslie’s business looks at more than just tax returns to understand how healthy someone’s business is. Tax returns are just a snapshot in time and don’t tell the whole story. What could people do better to get access to the financing they are looking for? People often underestimate how important their story is. Lenders want to know what your objective is and what your expected outcome is. Most people that come to Leslie don’t really have a good response to that question. After the credit score, the most common reason someone is declined is inconsistencies in their story. What challenges do women face in the commercial lending world? One of the biggest challenges is representation. It’s hard to come into an industry without seeing someone like you that has done it already. Leslie stopped taking it too personally and instead thinks about the misperception as an opportunity to open people’s minds to what is possible. Early Challenges Hiring the right team is definitely a challenge. Hiring slow and firing fast is very important, as an entrepreneur you don’t have the luxury of wasting money on a lot of bodies. Look for the unicorns, people that can take on a number of different roles. Don’t just focus on your industry, look at other industries and what’s happening around you to make your thinking more free. The most successful entrepreneurs are focused on solving a specific problem. Commercial lending is a problem that many people need a solution to and Leslie is grateful for her chance to solve those problems. Real estate has a place in everyone’s portfolio, one way or another. The Perfect Loan There is no real perfect deal in Leslie’s world. She is agnostic to industry and business because they are looking motivation and circumstances very closely. L
Project and Process Engineering roles in pulp and paper mills are typically entry level positions. Should they be?
Create a scoring system for anything--production, sales, whatever--and people WILL game it so they are shown in the best possible light and given the most results. Jason Kanigan shares a deep level example of gaming piecework production and rewards in a factory to demonstrate. Do not think because you hired nice people that they aren't gaming the system. And don't blame them, either: you set the rules. They're just doing what humans--what you--would do. Cold Star Technologies has, in the course of investigating and documenting processes, uncovered many scams, misrepresentations, and cases of outright theft in client organizations. Do not believe you are immune. Humans WILL game.

The conceptual design - or front end engineering and design (FEED) - phase of a project is the shortest but most important part. Key business decisions are made on process configurations, layout, safety, operability, and cost. Today we will discuss how we have streamlined the work process between process simulators and the detailed design phase with SmartPlant Process Engineering.

Today I am talking with Justin Roff-Marsh, the author of, The Machine: A Radical Approach to the Design of the Sales Function. And guys, it truly is pretty radical. Justin is also the founder of Ballistix, a consulting firm that builds and re-engineers sales environments from the ground up. He's been doing this for 15 years plus and he's been building more efficient sales functions to help companies, really just grow. Dominate their market. And the work that he's done is called, “Sales Process Engineering”. In our chat today, we're going to go over what exactly Sales Process Engineering is and why it's so important for property management entrepreneurs. Justin walks us through what this looks like in practice, from the organizational structure to compensation. Justin tends to work with larger organizations, but what we are talking about could not be more relevant to the property management industry and I'm so excited that Justin has come on the show with us today.
Justin and I discuss sales process engineering and why he believes it’s important to reduce a salesperson’s autonomy through a division of labor.
