Welcome to Factory of the Future, E77, Manufacturing's Future: Why Automation Is No Longer Optional for U.S. Plants

Join us as we discuss: 

- Why AI data centers may head to orbit—SpaceX's solar-powered data center test and the Anthropic–SpaceX partnership 

- The energy and supply chain squeeze: storage challenges, reshoring momentum, and continued reliance on Chinese minerals for semiconductors and batteries

- Automation as a mandate, not a choice—how labor shortages will force U.S. manufacturers to act, and why leaders should prepare now

- The workforce pivot: certification in automated manufacturing systems as a smarter bet than the traditional four-year degree 

And so much more.
