Yvonne Harrison: Automation & Asset Data (Part 2) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A bad process that you automate is still a bad process. It's just faster, and now it has a timestamp on it. Griffin Hamilton and Yvonne Harrison of CamCode pick up part two of their conversation on automation, moving from clean data into the three pillars that decide whether a rollout actually sticks: standardized process, a real link between the asset and its record, and people who want to use it. What you'll learn: - Why standardizing the workflow has to come before automating it, walked throu
Yvonne Harrison: Automation & Asset Data (Part 1) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most automation projects don't fail because the software was wrong. They fail because nobody could answer a simpler question first: is our asset data actually trustworthy? Griffin Hamilton sits down with Yvonne Harrison of CamCode for part one of a two-part conversation on what has to be true before you automate anything.

Neil Simons: Labor, Safety, and Autonomous Mowers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Neil Simons of RC Mowers joins Griffin to talk remote-controlled and autonomous mowers, and how they tackle the labor and safety problems every facilities team faces. Takeaways: RC vs. autonomous: RC mowers keep an operator safely off steep slopes; autonomous mowers run on their own and lay down clean commercial stripes — one operator can run several at once. Labor multiplier, not job-killer: No customer has cut staff. Crews get freed from open-field mowing to focus on higher-value work like tri
Ryan Chan: Founder & CEO of Upkeep (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ryan Chan didn't set out to build software. He was a chemical engineer at a manufacturing plant, watching technicians write work orders on paper, walk back to the office, and retype it all into a desktop system nobody wanted to use. That frustration became UpKeep. Eleven years later it's a 150-person company that's raised $50M, and Ryan's still obsessed with the same thing: making tools the shop floor actually loves to use. In this episode, Ryan and Griffin get into what's changed across a decad
