A shoutout to Windsor Essex's Wendy Stark and the team at Invest WindsorEssex. I was invited to attend their Emerging Technologies in Automation & Mobility Transformation 2025 event in Windsor, and I was lucky to be able to catch up with him. From DIN rails to terminal blocks to power supplies, Garrett Renders has seen many automation products from a young age. He is currently the Business Development Manager at Phoenix Contact Canada for Ontario. His role is to help clients solve problems using our PC's automation portfolio (which includes controllers, networking, interfaces, and safety). While Phoenix Contact is well known from a product standpoint, his goal is to demonstrate how their value-added centre and solution partners apply technology to empower an all-electric society! OT Cybersecurity has become a big issue for SME manufacturers. Automotive industry has been soft with EV. M Guard Router concentrator. PLC Next product. OEE, uptime - customer machines and systems Unexpected downtime. The data conundrum: the cost and the efficacy of collecting the right data.
