EP 7 — SAE's Jake Bodily on Why Speed Requirements Can Kill Tech Adoption Despite Benefits

Jake Bodily, who was SAE's first Director of Business Development in 30 years, walks through why 12 collaborative robots earned him Global Salesman recognition in 2018, then got donated to education within months. The reason was that inherent speed limitations from safety protocols created throughput bottlenecks worse than manual processes. Jake explains SAE's deliberate approach to technology adoption, why his test for automation success is whether it spreads through operations, and how proven implementations enabled one customer to compress their 24-year automation roadmap into 4 years.
