Our CEO, Jason Stoecker, joined an MHI Supply Chain Tech Talk to talk about heavy load automation.

The conversation covered why this space is gaining momentum, what it actually takes to implement it successfully, and where the value shows up once it's in place. Safety and standards came up too, since those set the boundaries for what "successful implementation" even means.

Jason brought the Align perspective to the table: real experience moving heavy, oversized loads and what that looks like when automation enters the picture.

If you're weighing heavy load automation for your own operation, this is worth a watch.

Moving large, heavy materials has traditionally required skilled operators, specialized equipment, and processes where safety and precision are critical. But ad

We will be at FABTECH 2026! Find us at booth S27016.
October 21st to 23rd at the Las Vegas Convention Center, booth S27016.

We're an automation and material-handling partner, helping manufacturers safely move heavy loads to increase production. Stop by booth S27016 to talk about where automation could speed up your line, whether that means moving heavy loads more efficiently, cutting cycle time on a repetitive task, or connecting steps in your process that currently run in isolation.

If you work in industrial marketing, you already know the job comes with a few things nobody warns you about.

You're often the only marketer in a building full of engineers. The one who has to explain years of technical mastery into a message that lands with a buyer who has thirty seconds to spare.

Most weeks, nobody around you speaks that language.

We built the Industrial Marketing Collaborative because we know what it's like to be the only marketing person in the room, working alone to make niche, highly technical products feel human and understandable.

This industry doesn't have to be lonely. When industrial marketers show up for each other, share what's working, admit what isn't, and swap lessons learned, everyone gets better faster. Someone else's win with a new content strategy isn't a threat. It's proof of what's possible for the rest of us.

That's the whole idea behind this event. Not another conference full of generic marketing advice that doesn't translate to our world. A room full of people who actually understand what it's like to sell something complicated to someone who didn't know they needed it.

If you've ever felt like industrial marketing is a solo sport, consider this your sign that it doesn't have to be.

Join us at the Industrial Marketing Collaborative, October 13th & 14th in St Louis.
