Get ready for a pep talk, folks! The days of easily replacing sales talent are gone, and we must do more with less—less people, less time. Picture this: a changing landscape, a time crunch, and staffing challenges. But fear not! Just like Vince Lombardi, the legendary coach who turned a team of average players into NFL champions, we can transform our dealership. We’re not always blessed with an all-star team, but as leaders, it’s our job to develop and motivate our people. Let’s shift our mindset, hone our skills, and become the innovative coaches our dealership needs. Take a hard look in the mirror and ask yourself, “Am I giving my salespeople 100%?” We need to invest our time in them, set attainable goals, and use those goals to motivate instead of intimidate. No more relying on hope or last-minute fire sales to reach our targets. Let’s maximize our resources, work with our team’s strengths, and eliminate the excuses. We may not have the most talented players right now, but with dedication and innovative coaching, we can build a championship team. Game on!

62% of summit respondents pick training and digital work instructions

62% of summit respondents pick training and digital work instructions

At the Connected Worker Manufacturing Summit, 62% of polled attendees ranked training, skills or digital work instructions first. Lincoln International reads the market as moving toward AI-driven execution. That suggests AI tools will be judged on worker competency, downtime and labor productivity at the plant.

  • 01Once skills data decides who gets scheduled on a line or cleared to run a machine, a training-completion checkbox stops being good enough.
  • 0256% of summit respondents point to reduced downtime or better labor productivity as the biggest help today, so connected-worker business cases will likely need to be framed in those plant metrics rather than feature lists.
  • 03A useful vendor question for any connected-worker pitch: which legacy workflow does this replace, and which system of record (ERP, EAM, MES or HCM) owns the skills data afterward?

ODVA's CIP Security spec earns IEC 62443 Security Level 3 certification

ODVA's CIP Security spec earns IEC 62443 Security Level 3 certification

TÜV Rheinland certified ODVA’s CIP Security specification for EtherNet/IP against IEC 62443-4-2 at Security Level Capability 3. ODVA says this can simplify the compliance path for manufacturers and gives engineers a named level to specify. Plant buyers still need to verify which products implement it.

  • 01CIP Security now carries an IEC 62443-4-2 Security Level Capability 3 certificate, giving engineers a named security level to write into EtherNet/IP device specifications.
  • 02The certificate covers the specification, so the useful purchasing question becomes whether a specific drive, valve or I/O block actually implements CIP Security and how its maker documents that.

Nvidia puts a Vera Rubin AI factory in a shipping container and says it can go live in 14 days

Nvidia puts a Vera Rubin AI factory in a shipping container and says it can go live in 14 days

Nvidia introduced DSX POD, a containerized reference design that standardizes assembly of Vera Rubin AI factory blocks offsite before delivery, aiming to reduce onsite deployment work from six months to roughly two weeks. Partners build, test and cable complete systems in containers; sites still must handle land prep, power generation, water supply and external connectivity in parallel.

  • 01Containerized assembly moves factory-critical tasks like cabling, loop flushing and commissioning offsite, converting unpredictable project work into repeatable products with test records.
  • 02Power enters each core container at 800 volts DC; sites must engineer upstream generation and conversion. Cooling is liquid only; containers handle internal plumbing while sites supply water and heat rejection.
  • 03Deployment time depends on parallel site preparation: land, foundations, power and external connectivity must be ready before container arrival; on-site work is reduced, not eliminated.
