What was the first industry to fully embrace automation? Not manufacturing. Not automotive either. According to Robert McElmurry, the first industry to automate was agriculture. Before data drove farming, the majority of Americans spent their days working to cultivate the crops we need. Now, most Americans are free to pursue other careers and hobbies. And, according to Robert, that kind of revolution is exactly why businesses need to embrace automation.

As the Director of Market Intelligence for the Association for Advancing Automation, Robert brings his full toolbelt this to talk about embracing automation, and what it could mean for your small business.
