In this episode I speak with Ryan Kuhlenbeck, CEO and Co-Founder of Pico MES. Ryan's career spans a wide range of automotive manufacturing at General Motors, Tesla, and Alta Motors. He has experienced firsthand the real-world issues that the digital divide creates and decided to do something about it! About Pico Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) have never been human-centric. Poor data management, broken traceability, and not designed for the average factory worker. Not anymore - we’ve fixed it. Pico MES is a fresh approach to factory operating systems and enables a connected environment to limitless factory tools, capturing data for visibility into the supply chain. Pico MES has migrated dozens of mid-sized factories off of paper-based systems and helped improve product quality for American factories in battery manufacturing, automotive, and aerospace. Pico MES is designed by end users, for future end users.
