I like talking with people in product design and the manufacturing industry. Contact me if you're interested in being interviewed and being a guest on the show.
Sometimes engineering has to do some rework. Usually, it isn’t caused by bad answers. This engineering rework is caused by questions that were never asked or the right questions answered with the wrong tool at the wrong fidelity. Prototyping should be the antidote to that. But for a lot of engineering teams, it’s actually part…
Dianna Deeney interviews Keven Wang from UnitX about today’s AI in factories and his vision for the future.
One of my favorite things about being in this space is the conversations. Real, unscripted exchanges with hosts who care about the same things I do: building better products, leading smarter teams, and making quality a strategic advantage instead of an afterthought. Over the past few years, I’ve had the privilege of being a guest…
Engineering Advantage in Equipment Design — Lessons from Structured Concept Development When your product’s value proposition is a specific financial promise (like a three‑month payback) the concept development output that engineering receives isn’t just a starting point. It’s either a foundation or a liability. This case study shows exactly what engineering receives at the end…
You’ve been in this meeting before. Engineering is three months into detailed design when someone from manufacturing finally sees the concept and says, “We tried this two years ago. Here’s why it failed.” The knowledge existed, but it didn’t have a path into the conversation when it actually mattered. We often treat this as a…
Two design inputs say the same thing. One is a feature name. The other tells engineering who fails, how, how badly, and what “done” means. What happened in concept development that produced one versus the other?
