Ctrl+Alt+Mfg: Ep. 5: Reducing MES Project Risk With Ryan Crownover, Vertech
Why do so many MES and industrial software projects fail and how can manufacturers finally fix the problem?
In this episode, Gary Cohen and Stephanie Neil talk with Ryan Crownover, director of digital plant at Vertech, about why industrial software shouldn’t be treated as special and how adopting agile, iterative development can dramatically improve ROI and user adoption.
We dig into: • What manufacturers really need from MES and digital plant systems • Why cloud outages expose gaps in resilience • How to avoid “boiling the ocean” with over-scoped projects • The value of operator feedback and user-centered design • Vertech’s Momentum Method for faster, lower-risk deployments
If you’re building or modernizing industrial software, this conversation offers practical, real-world guidance to help your projects succeed.
