In this podcast you’ll be listening to Johnny Jones from Induasol and myself. We now own automation companies but came up from the bottom. We kept having conversations about automation over the phone until we finally convinced ourselves that we needed to do a podcast so we could share our horror stories with everyone else. We mostly work in different industries, but there are a few things that merge. Induasol is mostly a panel shop with a few software solutions and Agile Automation is on the opposite side as a mostly a software SCADA company with a small portion with hardware. We disagree on our approaches to different applications, but as we dive into the issues we both learn from each other.
In the future we’ll get into some horror stories and hash out more. We wanted to provide experiences starting from an electrician, to a technician to a programmer, and then to an owner.
