    About this Episode

    Joining us this week on the podcast (@AugmentedPod (https://twitter.com/AugmentedPod)) is CEO and Founder of Pyze, Inc. (@PyzeInc (https://twitter.com/PyzeInc)) Prabhjot Singh (@psinghSF (https://twitter.com/psinghSF)) Here with futurist Trond Undheim to talk all about business process intelligence, the workflows in manufacturing and logistics, and the future outlook for low-code in industrial applications, the episode is 76 and the topic is: "Low on Code, High on Process." Augmented reveals the stories behind the new era of industrial operations, where technology will restore the agility of frontline workers. Technology is changing rapidly. What’s next in the digital factory? Who is leading the change? What are the key skills to learn? How to stay up to date on manufacturing and industry 4.0? Augmented is a podcast for industrial leaders, process engineers, and shop floor operators, hosted by futurist Trond Arne Undheim (@trondau (https://twitter.com/trondau)), and presented by Tulip, the frontline operations platform (@tulipinterfaces (https://twitter.com/tulipinterfaces)). Trond's takeaway: Business process intelligence is the "why" of technology. Because smoother operations are where the value of technology is realized. The future outlook for low code in industrial operations is bright because it has the potential to streamline workflows in manufacturing and logistics. However, it is important to keep in mind that to leverage automation to do better decisions, and not just to squeeze out more with less--that starts with keeping in mind what the real problem is and steering with that in mind. If you don't know, figure out the problem and then invest in the process and if technology gets you there, invest. Thanks for listening.
