Following up my recent post on the 9th annual State of Smart Manufacturing Report, let’s focus on one of the most important industry trends to emerge: artificial intelligence (AI).

Back in October 2023, we held our 3rd annual user conference, Fiix Forward, in Nashville, Tennessee. The conference wasn’t just our chance to tell you about what we’ve been doing as a company, but it’s true purpose was to give you, our community, a chance to feel heard, seen, and understood.  As part of that promise, we conducted interviews, where individuals like you shared their maintenance troubles, triumphs, and resilience that led to their success. Those stories have been captured and will be shared with our customers in hopes that others will be inspired. With that being said, we are excited to share our first two videos of the series:  JJ McDonnell Co. Inc, a leader in seafood processing and distribution, was busy trying to keep operations afloat before Fiix. In that line of work, every minute of downtime spells disaster, p

This article was written by Marc Cousineau. Safety first. It’s a term you’ve probably heard, and said, thousands of times. And for good reason— the safety of your team is incredibly important. Even minor accidents can have a profound impact on everything from productivity and morale, to the environment and individual lives, and lead to injuries, fines, lawsuits and more.An overreliance on reactive maintenance is a major cause of accidents in many production environments. In fact, one study found that corrective maintenance leads to twice the number of accidents than preventive maintenance. Establishing a 

My colleague @Marc Cousineau is looking for some volunteers to share their CMMS experiences and insights for an upcoming campaign to help other maintenance teams who are researching Fiix.I know how many experts we have in our community so I am hoping we can get some takers to help him out. It’s pretty simple, he’ll ask you 2-3 questions and will record the session which should take about 15 minutes...unless you have A LOT of stories you want to share with him, then he’ll keep the camera rolling to capture it all 🎬 🎥 💥Respond to this thread by May 15👇 and he’ll reach out to you directly to book something based on your availability...and thank you so much for agreeing to help your peers begin to understand what is possible with Fiix 💙.

This article was written by Katie Allen, Fiix Alumni. Katie’s article remains very much relevant today as we celebrate Earth Day, and take action as individuals and organizations to look at our world through an environmentally-conscious lens.  Waste. Garbage. Rubbish. Litter. Trash. Excess. These concepts are relatively new in our modern world. Waste was often synonymous with barren land and had nothing to do with disposal. Garbage — the act of throwing something away — was introduced in the early 1900s. Now, it’s a regular part of life— we buy, we use, and then we throw away. This is so common that we have entire waste management systems with teams of people and machinery dedicated to our garbage. This used to be my job. I would advise the public on where to put items when they were ready to throw it out. I would pick through big, black garbage bags on gruell
