Dean P.

In my 30+ years in manufacturing and technology, I have realized I’ve only just begun. I love to educate and inform. As a thought leader and Futurist in Smart Mfg, I am an adviser to several technology areas such as IIot, AI, AR and VR; building our future. I produce a podcast called the Destiny of Manufacturing for longevityindustries.com. As a writer I have contributed articles to Metalforming magazine, and several Sme periodicals. I work with 250 manufacturers each year to help them improve their technology and meet tomorrow’s demands. I have spoken at dozens of conferences for Precision Metalforming Association, Michigan Safety, and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers. I am on the board of directors for Sme and an advisor to the Smart Manufacturing Committee. Speaking extensively and presenting on technology has offered many opportunities where I meet with leaders of technology and manufacturing. The commonality of technology intrigues people as a whole. Traveling overseas taught me that technology is universal! Language may be different but robots, machinery and electronic technology has universal appeal. It has it’s own language. I have given presentations to dozens of foreign companies and the desire to learn brings us together. If you have needs in technology, I will help you find solutions.
