What is FRAME?

A weekly publication and professional network for the people building the future of manufacturing.

FRAME is more than a newsletter. It's a growing publication and professional network for the people building the future of manufacturing. Every week, we share real stories, hard-earned insights, and field-tested thinking from the world of industrial automation, factory operations, and plant leadership.

Our content is shaped by years of experience on the floor. We've migrated legacy systems, built high-performing teams, navigated obsolescence, and bridged the gap between strategy and execution. We write for technical professionals, operations leaders, and manufacturing consultants who want to think more clearly and act more decisively.

Our Approach

Deep Thinking

We go beyond surface-level analysis to explore the underlying principles and strategic implications of manufacturing challenges.

Field Experience

Every insight is grounded in real-world experience, not theoretical frameworks or marketing speak.

Practical Strategy

We provide actionable frameworks and decision-making tools that work in complex, real-world environments.

Modern Leadership

We focus on the leadership skills and organizational dynamics that drive successful manufacturing operations.

Whether you're leading a production line, designing an MES rollout, or rethinking your plant's digital strategy, FRAME delivers perspective, structure, and challenge. This is not a marketing channel. It's an effort to raise the bar on operational thinking in industry.
