Podcast: executive sessions – practical automation for manufacturers
Podcast Links:
In this episode of Executive Sessions, John Dotson and Miles Anderson from MiddleGround’s Automation team offer a real-world perspective on how automation is transforming the manufacturing industry. As the labor pool continues to shrink and more companies bring production back to the U.S., automation isn’t just an option—it’s a necessity.
John and Miles break down how automation can help close labor gaps, improve safety, and significantly boost productivity—often increasing throughput by 50% or more. They share how MiddleGround identifies the best opportunities for automation, from high-risk tasks to areas with quality or consistency issues, and how we execute automation solutions across our portfolio. Plus, they explain how MiddleGround sets companies up for success with hands-on training, built-in backup systems, and a sharp focus on ROI.
