The Featured Summit Case Study

RYAM & KCF Technologies

Mark Rosen

President U.S. Division
Calfrac Well Services

"...We're getting a lot more catches because the guys aren't having to diagnose it. It's telling them. We're much more responsive and we're getting four times as many catches as we used to."

RUSSELL WHITNEY

IOT Manager
Precision Drilling

"KCF has really offered blind spot assistance right before we merge into another car on the highway. They have a light that's going up. It's alerting us, it's there, and we continue to grow in this partnership."

YAHYA KHAN

Sr. Reliability Engineer
Clarios

"...we started small, and we are scaling as we go and, as we are integrating more sensors and taking advantage of machine learning, it will provide us deeper insights into our processes, making process changes."

Jeremy Frank

Co-Founder and CEO
KCF Technologies

"These technology revolutions affect all businesses, but we in this community, we know something that average people don't know, and that's industry is different. We know that delivering real change in industry is difficult. Unlike consumer facing businesses or in software companies that are focused on clicks or ad revenue, you do real things with real consequences. One single pump or bearing failure could cause a catastrophic fire, shut down a plant costing millions of dollars of lost productivity or even kill someone."

CA MCDONALD

Sr. Director of Reliability
RYAM

"And the value of that, with KCF, has basically been upskilling our plant. It's as if we have added multiple excellent vibration technicians to our organization because they're no longer wasting time walking around with a box in their hand. They're spending more time thinking about the troublesome assets amongst the hundreds and thousands of assets that we have, and they're spending time thinking about the most important pieces."

David Bonfante

Senior Director of Asset Health
Georgia-Pacific

"Some suppliers, when you ask them a question, they're going to send you an invoice and look for a deal before they take a phone call...And so that is not the type of partner we prefer to work with. You know, a mutual benefit says that we'll pick a partner at scale because they make sense and, you know, we'll have a good service relationship. And we have that with KCF."
