MICHAEL PARES: Welcome, welcome to AU 2023, the Fusion Digital Thread through Fusion 360, Upchain, Fusion 360 Manage, and Prodsmart. Today I've got a whole crew with me. And we're going to walk you through some really amazing things about the digital thread through the Fusion Cloud.
So I'll introduce myself. I am Michael Pares. I'm the director of Enterprise Services at Team D3. I've been working in Fusion 360 Manage for the last 10 years heavily. I've got 15 years of industry experience in the aerospace, especially when it comes to enterprise software implementations, integrations.
And for the last 3 and 1/2 years, I've been leading enterprise services at Team D3 And leading technical teams, cross-functional teams on many complex deployments, automation, integration, especially when it comes to connecting to PLM. I'm going to let these other guys introduce themselves. Go ahead, Jason.
JASON DUPREE: My name is Jason Dupree I'm an implementation consultant in the area of data management for Team D3. I've been working in the industry focused on the manufacturing space since 2010 with a sole focus on data management over the past few years. I do a lot of implementations, system configurations, data migrations, and been spending the majority of my time in Upchain since Autodesk acquired it.
NICK NARZINSKI: I'm Nick Narzinski. I'm a senior solution consultant here at Team D3. I've got 20 years of industry experience. Right now, I'm currently working with the Advanced Manufacturing solutions and MES solutions. That includes Fusion 360, FeatureCAM, PowerMill, and Prodsmart. And one of my tasks is performing business value assessments to identify underlying problems and create roadmap programs to achieve company goals.
RYAN JOHNSON: Hey everybody, my name is Ryan Johnson. I'm the manager of education and support here at Team D3. I've been using Fusion 360 since its inception. And I've got about 15 years with Team D3, the first 12 years on our consulting technical teams and for the last three years, I've been honored to manage an awesome education and support team on our client success organization.
GREG LEMONS: Hey everyone, well, I'm Greg Lemons. I'm a senior application developer here at Team D3. I've been slinging code for 30 years, doing it for Team D3 for about seven now. As you can see from the picture, I'm also an FPV drone pilot. Those are my goggles. And if you see that QR code and if you don't get dizzy, give it a shot. I'm also from the aerospace industry, like Michael, and spent a decade in the exotic car industry as well.
MICHAEL PARES: So thanks, guys. All these guys are sort of rock stars at Team D3, all experts in their fields. And I'm really lucky to have them join me today.
So today we're going to talk about, like I said, the Fusion Cloud. And when we talk about this, if you look back at AU 2022, they introduced those three industry clouds, Forma, Flow, and Fusion. All of these parts of the Autodesk platform, they connect processes and help drive new ways of working. The intent of the Autodesk Fusion industry cloud for manufacturing is to connect your data and people, deliver next generation workflows across the product development life cycle and throughout your organization and ecosystem.
So while today we've got the products on the left, Prodsmart, Upchain, Fusion 360 Manage, Fusion 360, Fusion Team, the intent from Autodesk is to integrate those over time into the industry cloud. On the right, you can see desktop applications, traditional applications, Vault, Inventor, third parties. Those connect to this cloud through the platform to create that full industry experience. That is the intent.
But today, what it really looks like is this, sort of divergent. Autodesk has acquired these amazing new products. Some of these are very recent acquisitions. Upchain and Prodsmart, these things really complement the strength that Autodesk has in Fusion 360 design and PLM platforms. But it takes real time to converge those newly acquired products. And it's not immediately obvious how these products might play well together in a cohesive, end-to-end workflow or product life cycle.
So the question is, how can these discrete, related, but not yet fully converged Fusion products be tied together today, now, without waiting, to create a digital thread, an end-to-end solution that enables your organization to design and make products intelligently. And so that's the question that we're looking to answer today.
The answer, we believe, is to establish that digital thread by using supported products, like ForgeFlow, which is a platform that Team D3 developed to integrate as a service all of those products and to use several other techniques. And what those look like might be out of the box connectivity, so things like using the CAD connector, taking advantage of any CAD and multi-CAD across multiple systems-- like today, we'll show you some SolidWorks design components going into the mix-- as well as things like the Prodsmart Fusion 360 Import.
We'll show you how to use low code, low effort, lightweight integration, like ForgeFlow, for an easy path to create connected data across a digital thread. We'll talk about how ForgeFlow can help create a project and upchain from an MPI process in Fusion 360 Manage or a project in Fusion Team hub, things like that. We will talk about other ways of tying all of those pieces together, for example, for designers, by using lightweight development developing add-ins for Fusion 360, for example, so that you can view all of the data in the thread, up and down the thread through all of these systems.
And what that ends up looking like today, what we're going to show you, which systems should you connect, why, how do you do it, and all of those things, we'll show you using like I said, ForgeFlow to creative projects in Upchain. So we'll first start talking about Fusion 360 Manage, connecting Fusion 360 Manage and Upchain and the ways in which we've done that with our platform. We'll talk about connecting Upchain and Fusion 360 and using those connectors and things like that. We'll talk about connecting Fusion 360 and Prodsmart, how you leverage that out of the box functionality for that purpose.
So the start of the thread really happens when we talk about the beginning of the process and connecting Fusion 360 Manage and Upchain. That's what we're going to start our journey. And throughout this demonstration, throughout this presentation, we're going to assume different personas. So I'm going to start by assuming the role of product manager. So I'll initiate the product lifecycle.
And as a product manager, it's my duty to really meet the customer needs and expectations. And what we're going to be designing is an easy-to-use drone. Our company, DroneX, wants to be a leader in drone technology. And we want to gain significant market share. And those are my responsibilities as a product manager.
So first I'm going to introduce the tool that I'm going to be working in as a product manager, which general term for it is Autodesk PLM. Autodesk PLM is the term that refers to all of the PDM and PLM products that can connect and form a full solution. So whether that be Vault and Fusion 360 Manage or Upchain and Fusion 360 Manage, today we're going to focus on Fusion 360 Manage and Upchain, like I said.
But Autodesk PLM provides that comprehensive set of data and process management capabilities that allows you to grow and scale. And I'll go into some of these capabilities. But just as examples, BOM management, change management, MPI, which is what we'll highlight today, quality, of these things are part of this backbone product PLM that really provides structure across your product development life cycle, regardless of which connected product you might be working within. That's the point of these products, to manage the organization and life cycle of that data across multiple systems.
So with Autodesk PLM, they have some ambitious objectives to be uncomplicated, to be accessible, to scale. So when we talk about uncomplicated, what do we mean? Well, it's native cloud, SaaS product. It provides anytime, anywhere access, easy, intuitive, easy-to-use experience. And that's the kinds of things that you need when you're trying to be flexible and develop these products in an easy manner across many different types of users in many different contexts.
You want it to be accessible, give you a central source for product data, like I said, multi CAD integration, open APIs, bringing in data upstream and downstream, systems like ERP and CRM. Those are the kinds of things you want with this kind of accessibility. And scale, you want to be able to start with when you're rolling something like this out, start with one process at a time. It easily expands with you. And that's some of the beauty of these products and the flexibility of them.
So like I said, we're going to be talking about new product introduction today. That's the process that I'm going to kick off as a product manager. So with that process, the capabilities-- basically, it's the initiation of the idea for the product. And we're going to show you from design to manufacturing the steps that are involved. And the MPI sort of is the backbone workflow for those steps.
So I'll show you initiating MPI. And some of the things that sort of fall in line with new product introduction is that project management capability within PLM. A flexible workflow allows you the right control at the right time, getting the right data to the right people, managing those tasks, the status, to-do lists and all of those things, and connecting all the way through to the data itself, so you can inform that MPI process with real-time status and real-time management and using those phase gate workflows, templatizing it, basically making it as easy and efficient as possible to get through that process, because let's face it, those processes can be complicated and can be burdensome. So you want to take as much of the burden out of it as possible.
So first, I'm going to show you a little bit about that. I'm going to jump in here to Fusion 360 Manage. And I'm going to log in here right in my browser. And I'll land on my dashboard.
And what I can show you is I can navigate through all the kinds of different work spaces. Each workspace represents its own sort of repository of data or a workflow or process. Mine is going to be within product management and new product introduction. But I can also show you on the dashboard that-- actually, I'd already started working on this earlier today. So it's down here in my recently viewed items. So I'm going to go directly to this one.
And what I've begun to draft and set up here is essentially the information that my organization needs and especially the players and personas downstream in the process need in order to develop and to understand what it is is the product vision, what are the goals, what are the drivers, what are the things that they need to understand in order to successfully fulfill the vision for this product, as well as schedule and things like that.
Like I said, the MPI process is sort of a backbone workflow throughout the whole life cycle. So you can see that it goes from ideation through feasibility, definition, development, even to production, evaluation. You can even make things obsolete and [INAUDIBLE].
And so ultimately, I'm starting off in this process. I'm going to essentially kick off in the very beginning, submit this and get it going. Now when I do this, it's going to kick off an integration. And that integration is going to essentially establish a project in Upchain that we're going to be able to work within.
And effectively when I was looking at that workflow, I might tie this integration to any sort of spot that I want in that workflow. It just happens to be tied to this one transition that I'm going to take now, which is this, what we call it the integration transition. So that could test through and show this integration. But I could do this when I was going into development or into definition or just into feasibility, if I wanted to.
So I'm going to hit that. It's going to have kicked off the integration behind the scenes. And then we'll move on from there. Like I said, the idea is to get this information here in one place, so that this information can be reused throughout the digital thread. And so that's what we'll be able to jump into here next.
And with that, I think I'll pop it over to Greg. So [INAUDIBLE].
GREG LEMONS: So when Michael committed that last workflow transition, Fusion 360 Manage initiated a remote event or what you might know as a webhook. Our integration platform picked that up. And then the integration created two projects, one in Upchain and another one in Fusion Team hub. That automation allows our next player, the engineering manager, to assist in this new product design. So go ahead and take it away, Jason.
JASON DUPREE: So as the engineering manager, I manage the data for the drone, such as sensor readings, images, videos, telemetry. I'm utilizing cloud computing, big data, and sometimes artificial intelligence to store, process, and analyze them securely, efficiently, and reliably.
I've also got to follow standards, regulations, and ethics of our company that our company has in place. I've got to review the design and its components. We've got mechanical and aeronautical data. We've got software and electrical components. I provide feedback, suggestions, and approvals.
I've got to make sure we're meeting the project specifications, requirements, and objectives, as well as the best practices and quality standards of our engineering discipline. I also focus on coordinating and facilitating collaboration and communication between the engineers and the other stakeholders involved.
I'm integrating the reference 3D model design for our product designer. We've got tons of things to keep track of, like shape, size, color, texture, materials, logos, branding, lots of words to express the sheer amount of data that we deal with. I've also got to make sure this data is compatible with the CAD software in the 3D printers we're using.
In this SolidWorks example, notice the Upchain interface on the right. With these Autodesk PLM platforms, you can keep teams working in the CAD tools they already know. So we're lowering the impact to training, IT resources, having to add CAD specific plug-ins, and of course, the cross-discipline and multi-CAD collaboration.
Now, that's just the benefits of the plug-in itself. But there's also the fact that it's a cloud-based PDM, which is incredibly important for several reasons. With these platforms, there's plug-ins for several different CAD systems as well as a standalone panel to work with any other CAD application. There's automated part numbering, so no need to keep track of what the next number to be assigned is.
Revisioning is automated as well as the items go through their life cycle. Upon check in and release, there are translation files that get automatically generated, like PDFs and STEP files. And permissions are controlled based on user roles and project access.
We're managing all file types in one organized system, including documents, spreadsheets, images, PDFs, engineering data and associated metadata. The archival is secure and controlled through approval processes. There are indicators letting everyone know if they're not looking at the latest data. And all of our data is in one ecosystem. So our users know when they need to get info, they know there's no guessing where to go.
Now let me jump in and show you a step in the process from my team sending CAD data over to Fusion 360 Manage for consumption by our Fusion 360 designers. So here I am in SolidWorks with a piece of a new component that's going to go into our design. I've got my Upchain panel over on the right. You can see that I'm in the project that was created from the Fusion 360 Team, the ForgeFlow connection, as that project got created in Fusion 360 Team.
I'm going to take this component. I've already loaded into Upchain, so I can see that the components are in a development state still. And they're ready to go over to Fusion 360 Team. So I'm going to add these to this cart here. And then I'm going to run this through a commit items workflow.
So this is a specific workflow that we have built that does the connection over from Upchain to Fusion 360 Team. And it pushes me right into the web interface for Upchain. And I'm inside of that CR, that commit CR. And all I've got to do is start the workflow, give it just a moment to process.
And that's going to be sending over the data, those translation files, whatever we decide on, PDF, STEP files possibly, over to Fusion 360 Team. And the engineering department will be able to pick up the designs from there.
GREG LEMONS: So the engineering manager has now loaded up resources into that Upchain project. Our integration detected that and dutifully moved those data to that Fusion Team hub, that project in the Fusion Team hub. And that now makes that data accessible to our design team using Fusion 360.
So who's next? Well, we need to design this thing, so that means the product designer. And so that's your cue, Ryan. Make a drone for us.
RYAN JOHNSON: Awesome, hey, everybody, Ryan again. I am the product designer. So what is my role as a product designer? Well, my job is to design cutting-edge products, basically gathering the data from the team that I need to design these things.
I also need to react to change orders. I need to react to supply chain info. And well, that third bullet, that's what they tell me my role is. I guess we'll see if it's true here in a minute when I get to my demo.
So first of all, let's talk about what is Fusion 360 in this process. Fusion 360 is just a comprehensive product development software. It covers every phase of design, so whether you're any of these personas, designer and engineer, CAM programmer, even a machinist or machine operator, Fusion 360 has the tools that you need to do this work.
And in the past, these tools maybe would have been separate software packages that you would have had to interact with with their own UI's. But with Fusion 360, they're all in one platform. Also, the platform is scalable, extendable. It's got the licensing models. And the extensions are ways to easily scale how you're going to use the product.
It's also built on Fusion Team as part of the core Autodesk platform services for manufacturing. And thus, it easily connects to many disciplines, many different workflows that you need to do, also suppliers and clients who maybe need to design review or you need to share info with. And as we'll see in the demo, it's also connected through the digital thread to all the other products we have discussed and the products that we're going to discuss next.
Another thing we notice is the complement to other software solutions. You have the ability to consume and work with designs for many other softwares. As we saw earlier, Jason added some SolidWorks files, which are going to be easy for me to consume in my design in Fusion 360.
And so to summarize, what is Fusion 360? Design to manufacturing, generative design, rendering, simulation -- it's got some really nice advanced features. It's got multi-CAD integration, design review and collaboration, manufacturing tools, all inside of one platform and flexible with team size or features required for you to do what you need.
Awesome, so let's take a look at Fusion 360. Now earlier we got a new project introduced by Michael Pares. And what we just saw was Jason, our engineering manager, starting this project from Upchain. And we can actually see the components that he added from SolidWorks right here inside of Fusion 360, my data panel. This is the project we're working on.
Now, since this is a brand new design that I need to get started on, I need to see some of the data, some of the details of what it is that I'm designing. So we've got the SolidWorks parts, the STEP files. But what else do I need to know? We've actually got built into the Manage tab here some add-ins that connect the digital thread right into Fusion 360.
And so I'm going to go ahead and click on the Fusion 360 Manage button here. This is just going to load up some details of the project that I'm looking at. And if you remember back at the very first step, our product manager, Michael, loaded some details into Fusion 360 Manage that told me what it was I was designing, a compact, lightweight quadcopter for hobbyists, some additional requirements. And we can see many other details from Fusion 360 Manage could be accessible right inside of Fusion 360 without me having to go anywhere else. Pretty cool.
Now I'm ready to get started. I've got some design work to do. Of course, this isn't a design class. So I know you probably want to see me design this thing. But we're going to fast forward a few weeks, days, whatever it is to the design. It's a little more in-progress here, as you can see.
And so the design has been created. Let me go ahead and close my data panel. With a few more components, we see some of the original pieces as well as additional design pieces that I've added.
Now, I know some of you might be a little surprised at the color scheme I've got here. Michael Pares, our product manager, I know I didn't run this color scheme by you. What do you think?
MICHAEL PARES: I mean, you're telling me you like it? Is that-- because this is not really what we talked about. If you don't mind, can you go check the stock and go out front and see if we've got any other plastic sheets that might make more sense?
RYAN JOHNSON: Yeah, I mean, I guess I could go do that. I thought the company colors were amazing, but all right. Well, before we looked up the digital thread to see what the requirements were passed down to me, but with these add-ins we've created, I can actually look down the thread as well. In fact, I'm going to connect directly to Prodsmart, which will show us stock that we have right now in our shop. And you'll see more about Prodsmart in just a minute with Nick.
But as we can see here, I've got several different categories of material. I'm going to check out raw material now. A lot of these pieces were plastic sheets. We're just going to search for nylon here. I happen to know these arms that I designed with 4 millimeter nylon-- and sure enough, that's out of stock.
Maybe we should bump up to 5 millimeters. That's a little low. It might be better to go down. We should probably check though if a 3 millimeter arm is going to work for us. So I can quickly make a change in the model here. Let's just do an adjustment here and drag that up to 3 millimeters.
And I'll probably run a quick simulation on this just to get some initial feedback. Fast forward, let's see what the results were. And you know what? They're not actually as bad as I thought they would be for shaving a whole millimeter off that thing. I think this might be doable. So I think we're ready to pass this off to design review and probably to production.
GREG LEMONS: Wow, so Ryan has finished his epic design. He's analyzed it. Obviously he's fought with the product manager a little bit about colors. And he simulated all of the modes it looks like. But now someone has to figure out how to make that thing, how to build it. So we're going to the shop floor with Nick, the production manager.
NICK NARZINSKI: Thanks, Greg. So as the production manager at DroneX, I am focused on eliminating the non-value added activities on the shop floor, reducing lead times and wasted resources. I also have a focus on enhancing production output and product quality through process improvements, employee training, and quality control measures, at the same time, identifying cost saving opportunities and optimizing resource utilization to reduce expenses and enhance the overall profitability.
Today I'm going to use Prodsmart to implement data analytics and KPIs to monitor production performance in real-time. All right, we'll also be identifying the bottlenecks, production fluctuations, and areas of inefficiency, and use this data to make informed decisions for optimizing workflows, resource allocation, and production scheduling.
So what is Prodsmart? Prodsmart is an MES system, which stands for manufacturing execution system. This helps to schedule, track, and trace production quality processes in real-time with data captured on the shop floor.
So this screen here is showing us what most manufacturing businesses look like. They have all distinct processes that are tracked with different methods, whether it's paper, spreadsheets, or whiteboards. The problem with this is that the data associated with these processes moves very slowly, so that you can only ever look backwards at what your business did yesterday, last week, or last month, instead of being able to get this data when you really need it, which is in real-time.
So some of the immediate benefits of Prodsmart are the four on the left. So that's going to be digitize and automating your manufacturing process, real-time visibility of what is happening on the shop floor, real-time visibility into the current inventory levels, visibility into inventory based on orders, and then some of the long-term benefits include analytics that you can analyze over time to help improve your efficiencies, and resource planning and scheduling.
So to keep this simple, Prodsmart aims primarily at digitizing production processes. So the old style ways of writing stuff down on travelers that have 10 coffee stains on them and illegible handwriting are now being transformed into either a paper that you can scan with a barcode scanner, or we can use tablets, laptops, or smartphones to enter this information on the shop floor giving us instant access to material.
So here's a screenshot showing some of the analytics that we can evaluate with those inputs from the digitized process on the shop floor. Over time, we're going to be able to see trends and look into inefficiencies, which can help us make valuable business decisions into the future.
So with production orders digitized, we can manage orders, track their progress, integrate other systems, manage the product inventory, and analyze their performance. The benefits of this are live data on workers, orders, machines, and inventory, being able to track waste and quality, and we can visualize load and capacity. We're also able to capture long-term analytics I spoke about, just being able to make informed business decisions about the future of our company and products and processes.
All right, so let's jump into Prodsmart. So here is the screen that you-- this is cloud-based. It runs inside your browser. So open it up. We can see we have not much information available.
First thing we're going to do is connect to Fusion 360, the model that Ryan, our designer, created for us. So we're going to run into the job section and use the file importer to import from Fusion 360. We're going to select the team that's located in the project, the folder, and finally, that assembly of the drone.
After that's selected, we're going to import it. And what this does initially on import is it's actually adding a product inside of Prodsmart for all those products, for all the components of that. So as I select that top level assembly, here you can see that it also brought in all the sub-products, as well as our quantities that are needed to complete one of these drone assemblies.
So now that we've got that product completed, we can then go ahead and attach an operation or process workflow to this. So I'm going to attach one that is assembled, packaging and labeling for the overall assembly.
And then we're going to do the same for that arm that Ryan worked on. We're going to find that in the products, select it, and we're going to go down and add a template for it, too. This one one's going to be cut and deburr on that part.
So with the products created, and normally you'd create templates for all the products that need it. Purchase components are just going to be pulled out of inventory. But now that we've created those, we're going to go ahead and create a work order.
So with this we're going to set the start date, the due date. We're going to select the product. In this case, it's that top level assembly of the drone. And today, we got a work order for a quantity of five of these drones. So we're going to put that in there. And then we're going to set our workforce to all the workers and set it to active, so that it shows up on the shop floor.
So as soon as we did that, it brought up this new screen that is showing me the quantities for each of the individual components. On the right, you can see the quantities that are for each, how many it would take to make all five of these. And so we can adjust those quantities.
So maybe for that drone arm, instead of making only 20 that are required, today we're going to say, you know what? We can make 50 out of one sheet of nylon. So we're going to put 50 in there. And we could store the other ones in inventory.
And then down below we could say, do we want this to be separate work orders? Or do we want to add them all to one work order? In this case, we're going to keep them as two separate work orders for just those two components. And we can see that those were created. So we got the assembly on top and then the drone arm on the bottom.
So as we have created those, now we're going to jump over and play the role of Steve on the shop floor. So this right here is the digital format that you would see. We have control to let them see what they want-- to let them see the buttons that we know that they need to use. But in this case, he's just going to log in with his ID. And then we're going to select which job we want to work on. Then we're going to select the component and then the operation.
So we're going to start the cutting operation. It's been started. He goes and does the job. Now me back as the manager, I jump back into my dashboard here. And I can then see on the dashboard that Steve had started.
I could see there's two. There's one worker working. There's one machine working. I can jump over to the status of the machines. I can see it's green. It's active and running. And I can see my workforce. Steve's the only one that's logged in today. I'm not sure where Tom and Sally are right now. But they should have been in the office.
So now jumping back into Steve's role, he is logging back in. He's completed his job. We fast-forwarded. Here it's asking for how many parts that we completed. So in this case, we were expecting 50. And he actually only completed 48.
He's going to confirm that. Two of them are waste. We could have preset options for why they were wasted, so we could start tracking this over time and start figuring out where our breakdowns are in production. So we're having a workholding issue on this part of the machine. We enter that and submit it.
So now the cut operation is done. Now jumping back into the dashboard as the production manager, I can see my quality has gone up to only 96%. My workforce is 100% available, because he's not logged in any job right now. My productivity is through the roof. We just did about an hour of work in about 30 seconds.
So from there we can jump back into production. Let's just complete this one and do the deburr real quick. So we're just entering that same product, entering the deburr. And now I'm just going to jump ahead and finish it as well.
So this arm is going to be completed. Again, we're only doing 48 of them on the deburr side. Submit that. And now getting more analytics back on the dashboard, we'll see it here, update. There it goes. So our quality is up to 97% now. Productivity continues to grow. We can see 48 completed. Total finished products are working. And workers are down to zero, because we were not in any active jobs. And two products are wasted.
And then from there, we can start diving down into more of the scheduling, seeing that maybe we need to shift stuff. We still got a few days before this is due. So maybe we can complete those two extra ones, or maybe we just push that off into another week.
Comparison of workers, company-- and production records, we can see what Steve has done today, what's finished. The jobs, I can see, compare the work orders against each other and what percentage of those are finished as well.
And so as we build this information up over time, we'll be able to get analytics, as far as machines are having quality issues, workers are having performance issues, what's causing the waste, what's causing the rework. As our production flow issues, or do we need to predict maintenance on the schedule, so that we can reduce the downtimes that have been happening in the past? And with that, I am going to hand it back over to Michael.
MICHAEL PARES: Thanks, Nick. Basically now that we've seen the movement from design to production, we've really seen the entire thread, from the first ideation step in the new product introduction process through design, engineering, production, all of it informed by connected data throughout the entire digital thread.
So the thing to do next is to look out to find out more about ForgeFlow, find out more about any of these products. Here's the links to Fusion Manage, Upchain, Fusion 360, Prodsmart, or connect with us, Team D3, if you want to hear more, as well as go and check out the handout, because we'll have a bunch more information in there, links to videos and various other things that'll be there for you.
Lastly, I wanted to highlight all of the people who contributed to making all of this possible, just significant effort. Thank you to my co-presenters, Ryan, Jason, Nick, and Greg. Thank you to the development team at Team D3, John, Andrew, Adam, and Michael, as well as Greg again, because they did quite a bit of work to make some of this stuff seem seamless and look as good as it did for the demo, which all this stuff is functional, pretty awesome. And thanks to our speaker mentor who really kept us in line, Rob Stein. And that's it. Thank you for joining us.
