What solutions are you providing, that\\u2019s what people want to know! \\xa0Manufacturing was lagging in technology and not a lot of people were jumping into it. \\xa0Ripe for disrupting! \\xa0Cloud technology has changed everything in the industrial space! \\xa0Adapt or go out of business!\\nWhat's it like to work with family and create good culture for millennials in a connected world? \\xa0Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy!\\nAdam Livesay is the cofounder of Elev\\u0101t.IoT, a keynote speaker, and when he's not working he enjoys bonding over sports, coaching, and skiing.\\nAdam Livesay has made a name for himself in the IoT world, specifically as it applies to use with heavy commercial equipment.\\xa0 Adam co-founded Elev\\u0101t.IoT to partner with OEMs and Fleets to bring ready-to-use, big-picture solutions to real business problems.\\xa0\\nBefore Elev\\u0101t, Adam was at Western Integrated Technologies (WIT), an industrial manufacturing and integration company.\\xa0 During his time at WIT, Adam saw that its customers, OEMs of heavy commercial equipment, were plagued by a limited ability to see, in real-time, what went on with their machines once they were out in the field.\\xa0 This limitation hampered their ability to know when the machines were off-line, prevent costly repairs, recommend scheduled maintenance, and identify when to replace parts.\\xa0\\nAdam understood that eliminating this pain point would help his customers save time and money, spot trends earlier, and determine what improvements to make on future machines - critical components of staying competitive. That's why Elev\\u0101t was born.\\nAdam believes in using every one of the 1440 minutes he has in a day wisely, and he helps his customers do the same.\\xa0 He created a ready-to-go platform that works with the customer's existing process and business model instead of handing them a burdensome and time-consuming learning curve.\\nElev\\u0101t's platform allows customers to get valuable feedback and quickly make improvements that relate to in-field realities, increase productivity and safety, and reduce the time between equipment failures.\\nYou can find out more about what Adam Livesay and Elev\\u0101t are doing at www.elevat-iot.com.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nConnect with Reena\\nhttps://linktr.ee/bettercalldaddy\\npodchaser.com/bettercalldaddy\\nlinkedin.com/in/reenafriedmanwatts\\ninstagram.com/reenafriedmanwatts\\nMe and my daddy would love to hear from you\\xa0\\nratethispodcast.com/bettercalldaddy"
