info_outlineToday’s episode is part of a special series were doing to focus on the cutting-edge fluid power technologies and customer solutions on display at the 2024 iVT EXPO.
iVT EXPO is an annual exposition for the off high vehicle design and engineering community, with exhibits that are highly focused on a number of key technologies, including new powertrains, electric and hybrid systems, control systems, sensors, and autonomous technologies. Hydraulics serve as a key enabling technology for these vehicles and many of these systems, iVT EXPO offers an ideal platform for growth and expansion of hydraulics, both in its affiliated education program and on its show floor.
Our first guest in this series is Adam Livesay. Adam is the co-founder of a company called Elevāt-- a Seattle-based Industrial IoT company focused on connecting the Industrial World. Elevāt powers the ecosystem of smart manufacturers, machines, and connected fleets to deliver smart services, products, and outcomes to the marketplace. We’ve had Adam on the podcast before to help discuss possible IoT applications for the fluid power industry.
Today, we invited him into our forum to learn about the applications that Elevāt will be showcasing at their exhibit at iVT EXPO.
