Are you coming to #ProMat? Come hang out at our session with MaintainX as we highlight what AI is doing in our industry with some great discussions with Co-Founder Nick Haase

#RoboticGluing! I checked out this live demo during PACK EXPO SouthEast, which was surprisingly one of the few #robot applications that ?????? ?????? palletizing. ?????? Robatech, along with KUKA demonstrated their industrial adhesive melter solutions that can be used in a variety of packaging and assembly applications. Thanks Erik Olney, MBA for the demo. ??Follow The Manufacturing Millennial for more content!?? ?? // Jake Hall #TheManufacturingMillennial #Robotics #Automation #Packaging

??.???????????????????? it is #PiDay!! There is no better way to celebrate it than eating some delicious pie served to you by a robot! The friends over at Zimmer Group US were able to serve up some pie with their #Zimo robot cell and an ABB Robotics GoFa arm. If you had a robot that could serve you food? What would you be eating? ?????????? ???????????????? ???? ??????!! ??Follow The Manufacturing Millennial for more content!?? ?? // Zimmer Group US #TheManufacturingMillennial #Robotics #Automation #Packaging

?? ???????????????? ?????????????? ?? Episode 2! This is a video mini-series on?#LinkedIn?to showcase stories I have with our next generations of workers in?#manufacturing,?#robotics,?and?#automation. Up next is Ben Watkins! A 2024 Biomedical Engineering grad from Milwaukee School of Engineering currently working at Hamilton Automation LLC. Ben has been hitting it out of the park, following a career path similar to how I started working for a distributor/manufacturer rep. The experiences you get so quickly are amazing, especially being able to see so many different applications and companies. So here is Ben's Question: What was the biggest mistake you learned from in your career? #TheManufacturingMillennial #Robots #Cobots #FutureWorkforce #GenZ PACK EXPO Automate Show

There is a machine or piece of automation that can do anything, including putting a bag in a box. ?????? I remember seeing this type of equipment when touring several food processing facilities over the years. This week was?PACK EXPO?Southeast, and I saw this demo of some high-speed box erecting and bagging from?Niverplast! Even cooler was to learn that these bags are manufactured about 12 miles from my house! Small world! ??Follow The Manufacturing Millennial for more content!?? ?? // Jake Hall #TheManufacturingMillennial #Robotics #Automation #Packaging

Do your kids not like taking vitamins? ?? ???????? ???????? ???????? ??????????! ?? This is how those many pills, children's vitamins, and supplements are filled into containers! We are at PACK EXPO South East seeing some pretty cool packaging solutions, including this ?????????????????? ????/?? from Pharma Packaging Systems Ltd that does product inspection and feeds at a rate of 55 bottles/minute. ??Follow The Manufacturing Millennial for more content!?? ?? // Jake Hall #TheManufacturingMillennial #Robotics #Automation #Packaging

We are here at PACK EXPO South East to kick off the week and getting to see #automation, #packaging, and #robotics give me more energy than a cup of coffee!!! It was great to see some of the #PMMI team right away with Jim Pittas, Tina Warren and Gatwiri Muthara who are excited to kick off their first show in Atlanta!! Looking forward to seeing many friends and meeting some new ones too! I also just realized this is my 9th time in Atlanta so far in 2025 (a few being pass throughs) but I am here a lot. ?? Stay tuned for my #PACKEXPO recap video tomorrow!!! #TheManufacturingMillennial #PXSE Jake Hall

Do you enjoy a ?????????????? ?????? ???? ????????????? It might even be more enjoyable for you to be served by a robot! I know I am going to need a lot with PACK EXPO kicking off tomorrow! If you fly a bit, you might see some #robots serving you drinks at airports like ?????????????? ?????? at DEN This system was designed by ?????????? company based out of Denver, CO. ?? // Reddit #TheManufacturingMillennial #Robotics #Automation #Manufacturing

Another Keynote is in the books! Thanks so much to the ???????????????? ???????????????????? ?????????????????? ?????????????????? for inviting me to speak about manufacturing technology trends and generational workforce! It was a thrill to have this event hosted at my alma mater,?Grand Valley State University,?where, in that exact same auditorium, I had several engineering classes 13 years ago. Thanks to Jon Dyer and Katherine Dreyer for inviting me to speak to the 100+ businesses! #TheManufacturingMillennial #Keynote #Speaking #Manufacturing

?? New Video Drop!! ?? What's happening with the future of #Robotics? What are the upcoming trends around #automotive, #FoodandBev, #Warehouse, and undeveloped #automation industries? During our visit to ABB Robotics to check out their new US Headquarters, I met with three of their subject matter experts to ask them where they see the industry adopting robotics and deploying new use cases.
