ABOUT THIS EPISODE
For decades, batch processing in complex industries like pharma, chemical, and food production has been held back by rigid, locked-down systems. In this episode, Travis and Tom join Polaris Automation's CEO Scott Cooke and SVP of Product Development Mark Merino to discuss breaking free from legacy MES constraints. They explore how building flexible solutions on Ignition, like their Chordata framework, allows manufacturers to scale faster, modernize iteratively, and organize plant data so it's genuinely ready for AI. Plus, they dive into a real-world case study with PPG to show what this transition looks like on the factory floor.
Guests: Scott Cooke (CEO) & Mark Merino (SVP of Product Development) — Polaris Automation
