As I see it
Too much of a good thing?
In this issue, we focus on data. It’s everywhere in your operation! You may feel entirely over- whelmed by the idea of machines generating information for you 24/7, because that means you have to do something with it. We under- stand the frustration, so we asked manufacturers and distributors how you can take a fresh look at what your equipment is telling you and use it for a more successful 2018.
BECCA ANDERSON EDITOR
As usual at this time of year, we are also encouraging you to make a fresh commitment to bettering your business by joining or becoming active in an association. Our list of associations will help you get connected.
In addition, check out our Virtual Hall of Fame Call for Nominations below. Who mentored you? Who would you put in a Canadian industry Hall of Fame if we had one? Make 2018 the year you say, ‘Thanks!’ in a very special way.
