Theme: Automation Success Stories based upon simplicity, value and a holistic perspective regarding automation.  Automate-Zen is based upon experiences and interviews by Shane Bernard = Avid’s eRep

The Blog:  Automate-ZEN is a blog that is derived from the concept of ZEN (based upon the simple / holistic state of living) and industrial automation (typically complex, disparate and stressful to all involved).  The goal is to find “ZEN” in our complex world.  I am neither a ZEN Czar nor an automation guru so I reach out to the subject matter experts in our industry and share their stories that add value and simplicity to our world.

Content: Automate-ZEN includes what I have learned and witnessed from thousands of very talented and some highly respected colleagues.  I will give credit to all who participate in my observations, interviews and chats for those who are willing to accept it.  Sometimes the stories and prattle will conceal the actual names and organizations to protect the innocent, or those who will lose their jobs for talking to the likes of me.
