概要

 🎙️ Guest: Dave May | Owner & Lead Service Engineer, DCM Bioservices🎧 Hosts: Mike Ouren & Sura Hadi📺 Series: Automation in the Wild"You can't lie to the robot. It doesn't know." – Dave MayWhen a 500lb robot dumps a $250,000 instrument on the floor, someone has to show up and fix it. That someone is Dave May. In this episode, Dave pulls back the curtain on what lab automation service really looks like — the duct tape on light curtains, the instruments collecting dust in corners, and why the robot is almost never actually the problem.🧠 What You'll Learn:Why 25-30% of automation failures are actually user errorWhat buyers should always ask before signing a POHow proprietary software is changing third-party serviceWhy keeping your instrument clean is your best PM strategyWhat "validated" really means when the plate sealer isn't integratedThe real reason robots get fired for cycle time☕ Whether you're running a lab, buying automation, or keeping it alive after warranty — this one's for you.🎧 Subscribe for new episodes → / @helicalbrew 📩 Want to be a guest?
