The Smart Factory Podcast, powered by Catalyst Connection, explores how manufacturing is evolving on the ground — not in theory, but in practice. Recorded inside the Citizens Bank Podcast Studio at Mill 19 in Pittsburgh, the podcast connects the region’s industrial legacy with the technologies, talent, and strategies shaping what comes next. Each episode features candid conversations with manufacturers, technology leaders, workforce experts, and partners working at the intersection of operations, automation, digital tools, energy, and leadership. The focus is practical. What’s working, what’s challenging, and how manufacturers are making decisions in real environments. Built for small and mid-sized manufacturers, The Smart Factory Podcast delivers grounded insight, relevant examples, and clear perspective on the future of American manufacturing — one conversation at a time.
