When Steel Meets Software: The Intersection of Automation and Hydraulics in Construction Construction industry veteran Ken Gray outlines how the creation of smarter hydraulics is enabling automation of heavy-duty mobile equipment.

Humbled to have been asked this week to share my thoughts about how #technology and #automation are helping modernize #hydraulic equipment, especially #construction and #mining machines.

The tech a former Caterpillar exec claims can improve even the best excavator operators For decades, excavator productivity has depended largely on the skill of the operator behind the controls. Is that about to change?

Very excited about Construction Briefing @KHLConstruction taking an interest in what our team is building at #DIGRobotics!

How can a company have the capacity to deliver a new order but lack the capacity to solve a current customer’s problem? That’s truly beyond my ability to understand.

My late, Great friend, Dr. Dick Lee, developed a concept he called the MIC, the most important customer. The process involved deciding who the buying decision-maker is and then developing a product and plan to, not only do the job, but appeal to that key person.

Appealing to decision-makers is critical, you know, the people controlling the budget, making buying decisions.

Find people who work themselves out of a job by developing people to be better than themseelves.

Chappy couldn't even pretend to be interested in the Seahawks-Bears Thursday Night Football game. Whew boy was that exciting... #NFLTerrier #NFL #TNF

Love these misty winter mornings in Cedar Key, Florida, especially when Mother Nature isn't trying to kill us! Taking time to appreciate the natural beauty of this wondrous place is helping everyone get back to a sense of normalcy in the aftermath of #HurricaneHelene. #cedarkeystrong #floridastrong

How cool is that?

Many thanks @ironmanofit.bsky.social, @thecontechcrew.bsky.social, and @tannisliviniuk.bsky.social for following me here in the sky! Great connecting with all of you as I grow my network from zero! #contech #toughtech #construction #business #innovation #leadership #builtworld #digrobotics #ai

So I'd have to choose between what's actually good pizza and self-respect!

Product Support Makes or Breaks Customer Loyalty Following Hurricane Helene, my wife and I to steps to further improve the resiliency of our home. One of our additions is a “bug out”…

How we do what we do often matters more than what we do. We ultimately received the parts we need to make repairs ourselves, but chances are low I'll be recommending this company!

Obviously, Peter, Coop needs more seasoning on the bench before he can see more significant playing time.

A black and white terrier's eyes are half open as he is half way under a quilt sleeping on a sofa.

While it may appear to the untrained eye that Chappy is keeping a suspicious eye on NFL officials during the Green Bay Packers vs. Seattle Seahawks Sunday Night Football game, he's actually snoring loudly! He's also chasing squirrels in his sleep. #NFL #Packers #NFLTerrier #SundayNightFootball

Defensive holding on a field goal attempt? That was a belly flop, not a hold! That was bad enough to even wake up Chappy! #NFL #NFLTerrier #Terrier

Never want the humans who officiate NFL games to have an impact or even be noticed enough during a game to be the subject of any post-game conversation.

A man's legs hang over the side of an empty swimming pool.

Hangin' out by the pool, but something's not quite right.

Chappy is a black and white Teddy Roosevelt rat terrier. You cannot see his blue eyes because they are closed. He is asleep on his back under his blanket. One of his paws is visible, because it's not under his blanket.

The #ThursdayNightFootball game between the #Packers and #Lions was just too intense for my buddy, Chappy, to watch. #NFL #terrier

Four more years of jokes writing themselves.

Am I all alone in thinking #skeletoncrew wasn't very good? I've been alone before, so it's ok! If the new #starwars series improves after episode 1, I'll never know!
