First Resonance

What really happens when hardware meets software? At LA Tech Week, First Resonance asked leaders from Epirus, Picogrid, and Karman Industries how software and hardware intersect, what challenges they’re solving, and why this intersection is shaping the future of manufacturing.

Factory Fuel Returns This Thursday — Brew Ideas. Build Faster. Join us Thursday, October 23 for fresh coffee, new ideas, and real discussions about what you’re building in hardtech. Our in-house coffee connoisseur, Alberto, will debut a different roast or brew method, and we’ll dive into the challenges you’re solving—from the factory floor to scaling production with ION. This isn’t just about coffee. It’s a chance to connect directly with First Resonance engineers and product leaders, trade ideas, and spark breakthroughs together.  📅 Thursday, October 23rd  🕐 8:30 AM – 10:00 AM  📍 2030 E. Maple Ave., Suite 400, El Segundo, CA 90245 Skip the drive-thru, swing by, and stay for a conversation that fuels your next build.

From the factory floor to the boardroom, MES performance, reliability, and scalability are no longer optional — they’re essential. We break down three critical questions you should ask before scaling your MES, and show how ION Factory OS meets the challenge head-on: ✅ Are response times consistent, even under peak load? ✅ Can your system stay up, recover fast, and maintain data integrity? ✅ Do you get meaningful metrics (SLIs/SLOs) and transparent reporting tied to real-world benchmarks? Swipe through to see how ION solves for each — and if you want the full story, check out our blog for the in-depth framework and checklist. 🔗 Learn more: “The Importance of Performance, Reliability, and Scalability in Modern MES” → link in comments #HardTech #Manufacturing #MES #FactoryOS #Scalability #Reliability #IndustrialAI #Performance #FirstResonance
