Recently, PlusOne Robotics was able to take part in the District 4 Back-to-School drive for students ranging from PreK to grade 12. What an incredible opportunity to engage with our local community and enlighten them about the world of robotics!🤖 Not only did we get to interact with locals, but we also had the pleasure of extending an invitation to students and education leaders to experience the marvels of technology at Port San Antonio! A big shoutout to Councilwoman Adriana Rocha Garcia, Ph.D. for organizing an amazing event. We would also like to thank Roshon Williams, Thomas Gossman, Jared Perkins, and Jose Hotema for their participation!👏🎉 #technology #industrialengineering #automation #industry #automationengineer #vendormanagement #manufacturer #innovation #management #technology #robotsworkpeoplerule

I've been waiting for this for a while now. After months of hard work and analysis, the 2024 State of Engineering Management report is finally LIVE! This is our 5th annual report, and we talked to over 600 engineering professionals, including engineers, managers, and executives. I'm not going to spoil the fun, but we've uncovered interesting insights about GenAI adoption, lack of alignment between engineers and executives, and burnout. So, grab a ☕ and dive in -> https://bit.ly/4ehnMSx
