Can we trust what we can’t see? Hidden cracks and voids still slip past legacy inspection methods. In this episode of The Manufacturing Connector, Jim talks with François Mainguy (Pragma) and Jeremy Heinks (CIC NDT) about how true 3D, data-grounded NDT is reshaping inspection for both manufacturing and in-service assets.
Jim sits down with Jannik Wiedenhaupt, cofounder of Supplyco.ai, to unpack why the biggest problem in US manufacturing might be buyer and supplier matchmaking. Jannik explains how their AI agents qualify and prioritize target accounts in minutes, sync with your CRM and email, and free sales teams to spend time with real humans. They walk through a live demo, discuss data grounding and hallucination risk, and outline a simple vision for modernizing how deals are found and closed.
Manufacturing is built on people who take pride in their work, protect their standards, and push their companies forward. Most of those stories stay hidden.
