What comes to mind when you hear “manufacturing”?
Factory floors, machines, assembly lines? Maybe something a little old school?
It might be time to reimagine that picture.
In this special Manufacturing Day episode of the Empowering Women Podcast, Shannon sits down with Catherine Hayes of SCRA to explore how AI, robotics, reshoring and new approaches to workforce development are changing manufacturing.
But technology is only part of the conversation. They also talk about leadership, culture, breaking down silos, learning across generations and the people behind the progress.
Because even in an increasingly AI-powered world, “You still need a human.”
🎙️ Listen to Manufacturing Reimagined and discover where modern manufacturing is headed next.
