with it, a noticeable challenge became evident. Addition- al cyber security requirements are needed as well as a simplistic implementation and installation plan for all the connected components in this Industry 4.0 and A.I. craze. “The versatility and adaptability for on-prem and edge solutions continue to be a priority and that is evident in the design of the platform. “Since the introduction to the corrugated box industry at CorrExpo in 2018, the now patented POWtalk platform and individual components prove to provide solutions for manufacturers to become safer and improve efficien- cy in multiple ways. A major focus, however, has been to improve employee cohesion by bringing manufacturing transparency to the market. “As a person who installed equipment in a variety of locations for a lot of years, I got to see different manu- facturing disciplines and leadership techniques. It always seemed that decisions were made without knowing the root causes for the problems or knowing what builds suc- cess. “POWtalk is unique by giving insights into raw machine metrics, video, audio, ergo metrics and interactions be- tween employees and departments. A complete machine center learning platform that takes action. “Now that the platform has been patented with 20 claims, WPR Services will narrow down and deliver realis- tic ROIs with case studies as we look to grow the company. “We’re looking into venture capital or an established machinery builder as a partner and lead investor. All of WPR Services’ products offer a unique value add, not only to complement their product offerings but to also improve its own manufacturing process. This one-of-a-kind tech can expand into so many different industries and having a reputable partner can expedite that process. “WPR Services has also taken off in additional product verticals. We continue to provide custom engineering and automation solutions for conveyor systems and ancillary equipment but now have been fortunate to design custom mechanical equipment. “As an industry veteran in this space, it’s nice to be able to provide mechanical hardware designs again however now with an emphasis on manufacturing ease and seam- less installation planning. “WPR Services is currently working out of a startup in- cubator facility in Fishers Indiana, which has been its home for a few years now. “With the expected growth plans, WPR Services is poised to expand its footprint so that it can accommodate the production demands and future partnership opportu- nities to make the corrugated industry the most advanced in the world.” Schedule a topic specific one-on-one virtual meetup or call us anytime at (888) 617-6465 or email chris@wprser- vices.net.
