How Data-Based Simulations Find the Fastest Wins and Best Options for Optimization — A Conversation with ChiAha

At the 2025 edition of the North American Manufacturing Excellence Summit series we sat down with Andrew Siprelle and Tom Lange to talk about something every manufacturing leader with shopfloor experience knows intuitively but has spent a career trying to prove: Sometimes fixing the little things even when everything else is working right pays bigger dividends than the ‘big wins’ that everyone understands but require time and resources to deliver an often temporary solution. Figuring out where to get the most ROI has too often been a thankless task done after the fact whose lessons learned may well be forgotten by the time the next time a proactive maintenance decision or process optimization strategy session comes around.

Recent advances in digital simulations unlocking plant data and demonstrating where the actual dollars and cents are waiting to be saved and earned are taking the pain out of how to prioritize how people spend their time and energy. For a fascinating conversation about making a difficult thing easy while looking for the best results the easiest way, give this episode a listen!

Predictive, Proactive Maintenance and Asset Management for Food Manufacturers — A Conversation with Steven Pamensky of Industrial Matrix

At the 2024 edition of the North American Food Manufacturing Summit series we sat down with Steven Pamensky, the founder and CEO of Industrial Matrix, to talk about the next generation of proactive and predictive maintenance and asset management tools and technologies now available to food manufacturers. There is a tidal wave of features and options on offer, and of course all of them need to interact with existing systems within facilities. Improvement cannot come at the price of disruption. When it comes to Food Manufacturing especially, the ongoing monitoring of what happens in a plant or factory is something that can always be improved upon but must never be interrupted. So how should food manufacturing leaders make informed choices about what is the best fit for their operations, their products, and their existing mix of maintenance and asset management tools? Give this episode a listen to learn more!
