About This Podcast
Abelara Ascent - Long-form conversations about what it actually takes to modernize manufacturing.
Abelara Ascent is where architecture meets execution. Interviews with the people building real systems. Panel discussions that go deeper than the keynote. And solo episodes that break down the frameworks, decisions, and trade-offs behind industrial digital transformation.
Hosted by Zack Scriven, Director of Sales and Marketing at Abelara, with regular appearances from cofounders Dylan DuFresne, Chief Architect, and Glenn Gardner, President.
If you are a manufacturing leader, plant manager, controls engineer, or solutions architect trying to figure out where to start, what to prioritize, and who to trust, this is the show.
