Wipfli is skilled at helping manufacturers automate operations. When thinking about efficiency and automation in manufacturing, is there a common item that small and midsize manufacturers overlook?
Making every minute count is a familiar phrase heard across the country. Maximizing through-put with understaffed crews seems like an insurmountable expectation, and yet somehow the hearty manufacturers continue to forge ahead. Wipfli can help by focusing attention on every minute of the process and leveraging simple machine sensors that tally where unplanned downtime minutes leak away. These same technologies provide alerts, predict when it will occur again, and use artificial intelligence to pair people and machines to maximize their full potential.
In the back office, Wipfli can aid in maximizing financial systems through automated workflows that forecast materials and place orders based on inventory levels. Suppliers can replenish on electronic triggers, and accounts payable and receivable and banking transactions occur with significant reduction in human oversight.

How do you enjoy Lake County in your free time?
As a parent with young children (13, 9 and 5), they certainly keep my wife and I busy with their activities. There is no better feeling than seeing them succeed. I enjoy getting outside to do various activities - either in the yard or around the golf course. I am a life-long Iowa Hawkeye fan, so any chance, regardless of the sport, I enjoy cheering on the Hawkeyes.
We appreciate your leadership and our partnership with Wipfli.
As a firm we love partnerships where both organizations can add value to one another, and this is exactly what the firm sees in our relationship with Lake County Partners. Lake County Partners' ability to assess and react to ever-changing business needs is crucial to making Lake County the premier area to do business.
