50x more AI at IMTS than two years ago? 👀
In our live IMTS episode of The Wrench Factor, @theNickHaase and @MFGMillennial unpack two themes they kept hearing across the show floor: the rapid rise of AI and growing urgency around skilled labor challenges.
🎧 Watch or listen on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts.

Absolutely epic!
Blows sprinting robots into a wall as a marketing stunt out of the water. Great job @adcock_brett and team!
Creative robot videos are so important!
Such an important milestone. What a time to be alive
From concept to reality.
@SpaceX has successfully deployed Starlink V3 satellites into Earth’s orbit and made contact with them for the first time.
At scale, one Starship carries 60 V3 satellites, the same network capacity as about 20 Falcon 9 launches.
Killer launch video for an even more impressive product 🤌
Introducing AgentCloak: Use any AI without sharing your real data.
Chinese AI services, ChatGPT, Claude, doesn't matter.
You probably try to hide details before asking: different names, fake numbers, no address.
But then the answer's useless because the AI is missing actual context.
AgentCloak runs in your browser.
It swaps your sensitive info for realistic fakes before sending anything, then swaps your real info back into the response.
You get what you need.
The AI gets nothing about you.
Works entirely in-browser.
Already trusted by some of the biggest companies in the world.
Now free to use.

One of my favorite personal Grokbot agents so far - Grocery Deal Alerts
Opening prompt:
“I want to track the best deals for fresh beef, poultry and pork at my local grocery stores. Based in [your zip code].
I’m most interested in beef tenderloin (whole or filets) but other deals from Publix, Whole Foods and Fresh Market are interesting as well. They usually release latest weekly deals on Thursdays”

Eight years ago, @maintainx started at a kitchen table in a small San Francisco apartment. 🌉
Despite the naysayers, co-founders @CTurlica, @dozoisch, @theNickHaase, and Mathieu Marengère-Gosselin believed they could build a better platform for industrial teams and frontline workers.
Nick Haase retweeted
It's official: MaintainX is now part of @Autodesk.
We started this company because the people who keep the physical world running deserved software built for them. Today, that mission gets a much bigger platform.
Same team. Same focus on the frontline. More to come.

Manufacturers have been asked to do more with less for years.
Now, leaders are looking to AI as a way to help bridge the gap.
On the next episode of The Wrench Factor, @theNickHaase sits down with Ryan Kelly, VP of Technology at AMT, to discuss why manufacturers are leaning into AI and where they see the biggest opportunities.

One theme from #MLCRethink that still stands out:
The best digital transformation strategies don't start with technology. They start with the people closest to the work.
@theNickHaase talks with Jon Hobgood, Head of Global Smart Manufacturing at GE HealthCare, about data, adoption, and what manufacturers are getting right.

On the next episode of The Wrench Factor, @augurysys CEO Elan Greenberg joins @theNickHaase to discuss what happens when experienced workers retire, and critical expertise leaves with them.
From machine health to industrial AI, they explore how technology can help teams stay productive, solve problems faster, and keep critical operations running.

AI does its best work when it’s helping maintenance pros focus on the work they love to do, instead of the frustrating and time-consuming parts.
