Hello and welcome to the latest issue of Manufacturing Today . This month our features discuss efficiency both in terms of automation and energy . We cover AI and the need to deploy the technology where it makes the most impact . These topics also appear in our interview with Mike Eakins , CEO of KPS Global . He talks about the business following its recent acquisition by Viessmann , and predicts some major learning opportunities from Viessmann ’ s network because ‘… Europe is years ahead of North America when it comes to refrigeration technology and sustainability ’. He is looking for the right ideas to bring back to North America and it will be interesting to catch up with him again to report on the outcome !
