Safety, security, ethics and morals. For many companies, these issues sit in a gray area. Should the users and consumers bear the responsibility of these issues within IT? Or, rather, should the responsibility fall on the shoulders of the developers and distributors? In this episode, Kevin Williams, CEO of WISE Power, answers this question as well as introduces the concept of lifestyle management and what he believes is required for the future success of smart devices.

“As consumers we don’t want to have 15 different icons on our phone or another 15 different passwords to manage in our lives,” Williams said. “If you’ve got all these different smart devices – its great to having a Ring Doorbell, a Nest thermostat, a Samsung refrigerator, but its really helpful for consumers if you can make things simple. And there are other behind the scenes technologies that are available to help with that integration.”

Matt Kelly says brownfield packing can pay back under two years

Matt Kelly says brownfield packing can pay back under two years

Matt Kelly and Joe Bradley argue brownfield warehouses often speed up picking while leaving packing manual. SupplyChainBrain reported in June 2026 that Kelly said service-model packaging projects can pay back in as little as one month and capital projects in under two years. Sparck's published 3-second boxing benchmark shows why operators still need a workflow-by-workflow comparison.

  • 01SupplyChainBrain reported in June 2026 that Kelly said some service-model packaging projects can pay back in as little as one month and capital projects in under two years.
  • 02Bradley says BoxLast can work from a license plate ID, a unique order identifier, so the machine can print and apply a shipping label without preloading weights and dimensions.
  • 03Sparck's published benchmarks, up to 20 manual stations replaced and a box every 3 seconds, show operators should compare throughput, staffing and machine scope before choosing a brownfield packaging path.

For constant plant-floor process streams, a data historian is often a better fit than SQL Server or Oracle

For constant plant-floor process streams, a data historian is often a better fit than SQL Server or Oracle

Precedence Research values industrial IoT at USD 602.87B in 2026 and projects 16.8% CAGR to 2035, adding pressure to handle growing sensor data volumes.

  • 01Precedence Research values the industrial IoT market at USD 602.87 billion in 2026, growing 16.8% a year to 2035, so plant data streams keep getting larger.
  • 02In Schmidt’s example, historians can store a timestamped point when a value changes (skipping repeats), while logging every repeated reading in a relational table can increase storage and slow time-window reports.
  • 03Historians such as AVEVA PI handle capture; CrateDB argues cross-plant analytics often sits beside the historian, and Tiger Data notes teams want SQL/dashboards while generic relational tables can degrade as they grow.

CED: Specify holding brakes where gravity can move a servo axis

CED: Specify holding brakes where gravity can move a servo axis

CED’s Nicholas Rodacz demonstrates spring-set servo holding brakes. Selection requires the correct torque rating and manufacturer instructions; the bench demonstration does not replace a machine risk assessment or establish personnel safety.

  • 01A spring-set holding brake is intended to hold a stationary shaft within its rated torque; it is not automatically a safety brake.
  • 02Gravity and other stored energy should prompt checks of load holding, torque and any required safety measures.
  • 03Use the exact motor specification and manufacturer inspection procedure. Hand-turning a shaft is not a sufficient brake-identification or safety acceptance test.
