continuing our two-part Industry 4.0 technology showcase. Joining Elizabeth as a guest moderator is Scott Phillips, Program Director of the Industry 4.0 Accelerator, powered by Centrepolis Accelerator at Lawrence Technical University and Lean Rocket Lab. The role of the Industry 4.0 Accelerator is to maintain ongoing conversations with manufacturers to understand their i4.0 challenges, and to then engage in a global recruitment process to bring the world’s best industry 4.0 tech companies to Michigan to support our manufacturing base. Today we will focus on one of these tech companies, and luckily for Scott and his team, they didn’t have to go far. Detect-It, headquartered in Oak Park, Michigan is a hardware/software company that specializes in AI and Neural Network Technology. We’ll learn about the problems they are solving for manufacturers and take a closer look at how they are helping a Detroit-based manufacturer. ISAIC, or the Industrial Sewing and Innovation Center, a national resource for the manufacturing of soft goods, advance solutions that are transforming industry while promoting the upward trajectory of people through training. ISAIC was introduced to Detect-It through the Centrepolis Accelerator and ultimately funded through an Industry 4.0 grant with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, and supported by the Manufacturing Growth Alliance.
