The Human and Machine Podcast

In this episode, we host Leon Potgieter from Hulamin.

We discuss a cohesive Industrial IT team's roles, skills and culture. We delve into data silos, supply chain delays and other industry challenges. But also short-term optimisation opportunities and the importance of continuous learning.

Let us know if you find our discussion helpful or have anything to add! We'd love to hear from you.

In this episode, we host Kenney O'kennedy and Riaan Du Plessis from Zutari. We speak about how Zutari Solutionists integrate technical mastery with creative intelligence and digital acumen to co-create enduring infrastructure to benefit all. We also discuss the near-term view on renewable energy solutions and the importance of interoperable and future-fit solutions.

In this episode, we speak with Rob Obree from Next Integration. And how organisations can use their data to improve operations in a practical and sustainable manner. 

In this first episode of 2022, we speak with Carolina Torres from Cognite, an Industrial software business that helps transform industrial data into customer value.

We explore the crucial role data plays in the energy transition to a more sustainable future. The role of Industrial DataOps as the enabler. And the large-scale adoption of emerging technologies like AI, ML, and Robotics. If you're devoted to a future-proof digital and data system for a carbon-neutral future, join the conversation!

In this episode, we speak with Ray Sensenbach, Product Design Manager at Inductive Automation. Designing an interface might seem like a second-tier priority for many engineers when creating their industrial applications since it appears to be a decorative detail. But, good interface design can increase operator productivity, decrease human error, and make operators feel more at ease. Ray shares his thoughts and practical approach to the power of user interface (UI) design.

In a data-driven world, it’s critical that the people who need the data to make timely, strategic business decisions, to have access to it. In this episode, we speak with Almero Roux from Control Systems Integration. Integration and Mining sector veteran Almero shares his experience and learning on collecting, cleaning, and contextualising mass amounts of data. Their approach and philosophy followed and why a single version of the truth instils trust and drives information to action. Learn more about CSi here: www.controlsi.co.za 

Machine Learning (ML) will revolutionise entire industries. And change the way we interact with data and use it to enable digital growth.

We speak with machine learning crafters Dr. McElory Hoffman and Dr. Johan van der Merwe from Praelexis. They share why they believe in purpose before profit and explain the competitive advantage opportunity - the types of machine learning and the proven approach to building a data-driven enterprise.
