Ryan Reynolds Joins Advanced Automation Podcast

Automation technology has revolutionized industries across the globe, shaping the way we work and transforming the future of labor. In the latest episode of the Advanced Automation podcast, Ryan Reynolds joins host Josh Gravelle, to come together and explore the numerous advantages of automation technology, its alignment with skilled trades, and how companies like Boulter are adapting to this rapidly evolving landscape.  

Advantages of Automation Technology

Automation has become a driving force in today's industrial landscape, offering a number of advantages that optimize productivity, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.  With the help of advanced robotics and artificial intelligence, businesses can achieve unparalleled levels of accuracy, speed, and precision, leading to higher output and customer satisfaction.

Automation also plays a pivotal role in ensuring workplace safety. By automating hazardous or repetitive tasks, it mitigates the risk of workplace accidents, improves overall employee well-being, and enables workers to focus on more complex and strategic responsibilities. This technology acts as a catalyst for innovation and growth, allowing businesses to stay competitive in today's rapidly changing market.

Alignment with the Skilled Trades

Another aspect discussed in the podcast is the intersection of automation technology with the skilled trades. Contrary to common misconceptions, automation complements skilled workers, enabling them to achieve even greater heights of productivity and creativity. Gravelle and Reynolds emphasize that automation should be viewed as a valuable tool that enhances the capabilities of skilled tradespeople, rather than replacing them.

Automation technology empowers tradespeople by automating repetitive and labor-intensive tasks, freeing up their time for more complex, thought-provoking work.

Skilled workers can leverage automation tools to augment their skills, improve efficiency, and explore new opportunities. By embracing automation, they can stay ahead of the curve and remain relevant in an ever-evolving job market.

Adapting to a Changing Landscape: Boulter's Perspective

The podcast episode also sheds light on how Boulter keeps pace with this dynamic landscape. Despite being a 131-year-old company, Boulter has remained committed to keeping up with technological advancements.  Examples of these include the integration of HubSpot in 2019, consolidating our sales and marketing tools onto a single platform, and in 2023, we introduced Zuper to optimize dispatching processes for our field team and customers, enhancing efficiency and providing a more streamlined experience.

Listen to the full podcast as they dive into this engaging conversation that sheds light on the exciting possibilities that automation brings to the forefront.
