Episode Details

As a leader looking to grow his business, Tom Schroeder knew it was time to start gathering data to inform the growth process. So Tom began to implement machine monitoring technology in his shop. In this episode of MakingChips, hear how Tom implemented Amper Technology and the impact it has made on his business. 

Because let's face it, if you're not monitoring your machines, you don't know which ones are making enough chips, and if you're not making enough chips, you're not making money. BAM!

– Nick

BONUS: Akshat Thirani—the CEO and Co-Founder of Amper—also joins us in this episode to cover machine monitoring from every aspect.
