Welcome to a very special edition of The Automation Podcast!
To celebrate our 100th Episode, I reached out to five of our previous guests from Siemens, Rockwell, Mitsubishi, Phoenix Contact and the ISA to interview them on where they see the Industrial Automation industry going in the next five to ten years.
The result of these interviews is the below episode, which after editing comes in at just under two hours!
