Our Chief Engineer of Life Sciences, Mick Trompen, recently participated in the Medical Device Summit hosted by MichBio, where he shared expert insights on emerging technologies, regulatory trends, and the evolving landscape of the medical industry. As a panelist in the session “Smart Manufacturing in MedTech: Harnessing Industry 4.0 for Precision and Efficiency,” Mick explored how cutting-edge technologies such as automation, robotics and AI are redefining how medical devices are being designed, produced and delivered. We’re proud to have leaders like Mick driving innovation and helping Michigan’s MedTech community grow. #automationsolutions #medtech

As battery manufacturers face persistent supply chain disruptions, rising production costs, and unpredictable global tariffs, onshoring has become a vital strategy. But relocating battery production isn’t simple. These operations rely on highly specialized, automated equipment integrated with advanced digital systems. Moving them requires more than a change in location—it demands a complete transformation of how production is planned and executed. Our latest blog breaks down: ✅ The biggest risks in domestic battery production ✅ Smart strategies to mitigate those risks ✅ The role automation plays in scaling safely and efficiently 👉 Read the full blog: https://bit.ly/4h8L8vz #batterymanufacturing #onshoring #automation
