What a keynote! Walker you knocked it out of the park with crystal clear clarity. 👏🏽

Walker - man of conviction, focus and sheer will. Is the digital transformer.

Great message! Any chance you can provide the slides for this presentation?

Another great knowledge-sharing! Guess not everyone sees the light bulb..yet ;)

Excellent presentation Paul!!

Great video Walker! I've start my career from the shop-floor, and you're absolute right about the people in the top! That's the reason on one of my job about 18 years ago, my self and 2 more people build from scratch an MES!

Data is needed for 4.0 but if you have manual mills and lathes still on your plant floor as many companies still do (JBT is one) the collection of the data is done by the operator manually inputting the production time, parts completed on the shift, setup, scrap, other information into a computer by hand. This is usually done at the end of the shift (bad) and error sneaks into this data so a better way to collect accurate data for these machines is needed, not just run time, downtime, coolant, or lubrication issues but true production data. There will always be error in the data with human input. Legacy companies don't see this as an issue, they still do the same thing they have for years. So If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you have always got. Their eyes are still closed to 4.0 when it come to data, they think adding a CNC is 4.0 but not collecting the data from it still have operators input of data. Just plan silly to try to get them to understand this as you say the smartest people on the plant floor but they don't make the decisions on how the company runs, someone hundreds or thousands of miles away at a corporate office is. 45 plus years in industry and education with over a half dozen companies working in machining, its a mess out there, legacy companies just don't GET IT.

Superb as always.

Thanks Lot . Good presentation. If Testa can develop their ERP Wrap in 4 Months from scratch last decade why are we spending double the time to even plan to upgrade legacy ERP system? Are they not the elephant in the room ?

Another amazing video!

Great job Walker🥳

The sounds' a bit hard to listen to, sounds just a bit *too* clean. I wonder what it would sound like with a bit of the original mixed back in?

Regarding Tesla i would like to bring about a few points , trust me you had me hypnotized about the success of Tesla just because it was a data company and not a car manufacturing company , NOT TRUE at all , it does collect a lot of data for improvement but it did not become Tesla because it had data before it started it , its was his smart business move is a skillful s that took him ahead initially and it had nothing to do with old data when he started it !!

Excellent way of putting things up. You bought Tesla shares?

Have your heard about the Cybertruck? Anyone that thinks Tesla is awesome after that should go to Mars.

English Paper 1

The statement that "Tesla is an awesome company" is wrong for several reasons, the greatest of them being that it's an over-broad statement. PARTS of Tesla could be considered 'awesome', but as a whole, the company is a good example of a modern Ponzi scheme. He pays his creditors by announcing a new product and taking deposits, then takes 5 extra years to deliver half what he said he would at twice the cost. Yeah, the company has got some great technology, but it's cars aside from the electric tech are just so-so, they're on par with say a Ford Fusion in quality, fit, and design, at best. The designs are tired- they haven't updated them since 2014, and their only really 'new' entry, the truck, is a monumentally stupid thing just meant to sort out the fanboys from the reasonable. The company has lost 40% of it's value in a year for a very good reason- it was a powerhouse when it had no competition. Anyone can be the best when they're the only ones doing it. Aside from that, even you pointed out that Musk rules with chaos, which isn't a good way to run anything, a company OR a country. They won the charger format wars, and in response he blows up the charger division. Either he's an idiot, or they're losing money over there like crazy. My money is that they're losing money because they've subsidized fast charging to create the illusion that such charging is 'cheap' in order to sell cars. As for being a data company, big deal. Kroger has been collecting more important data on grocery shoppers for decades using their shopper cards. Doubleclick collects from everyone who uses a web browser. Lastly, Tesla is guilty of something that really needs to be squashed now rather than later- the subscription model for features. Hiding range behind a paywall is downright NASTY behavior. The only thing they've got going for them is the cult-like behavior of the less-educated segment of the consumer base.

Woah woah, tesla has done not much for sustainability my friend. He started with a father who made money in mining(opp of sustain), he created paypal(not related to sus), then he created a EV revolution where he did exactly the mistake you said was problem one - he got EVs without figuring out the actual process. EVs are not sustainable, not yet.

"It will change your life" - naah, it was midwit af

Elon.....again? Otherwise, all good...

This is absolute garbage !

Please clarify: Tesla manufacturing is no more assembly not additive not linear. Can you please continue what is it then? Is it modular manufacturing? Is it service based manufacturing? I understand the enthusiasm of the presenter but for sake of getting better attention its more beneficial to make logical flow in odeas rather than saying half information and jumping to what he is promoting for. Its like throw some disturbing attention and then jump to his idea or solution with emotional flow rather than using logical flow. Despite what i wrote there is no one in the market now has tha balls to say things closer to reality than this presenter regardless of whether I agree with his ideas or not Thanks and regards
