The Talking Industrial Automation Podcast is a show to help you get to know the people who make modern manufacturing and processing possible. Along the way we will touch on integration technology, trends and challenges. If you are a manufacturer, end user/client, supplier or system integrator interested in industrial automation, I hope you will enjoy the insights CSIA members will bring to this podcast. CSIA is the Control System Integrators Association and exists to improve the professionalism of system integrator businesses.

When clients want to hire a system integrator, they must perform a deep vetting process. Automation clients who hire a CSIA Certified System Integrator know that their integrator has superior project management skills and is financially robust. CSIA Certified is equivalent to "qualified system integrator."

As membership and marketing manager of CSIA, I am very interested in [elevating the profession of system integrators and helping CSIA members demonstrate quality. This will be the goal of our podcast: to educate the industry and market about system integration, while telling individuals' stories. In this podcast you'll hear interviews with CSIA members and leading system integrators. They are experts in solving the most difficult manufacturing and processing problems. We'll share case studies, project profiles and stories of the people behind them.
