For World Telecommunication and Information Society Day, , we wanted to recognize someone who has helped build the digital backbone of Innovative for nearly 30 years.
When Scott Maclennan joined the company, he was the first — and only — IT person.
Today, as Manager of Information Technology for Innovative Group of Companies, Scott leads the team responsible for supporting and protecting the systems, infrastructure, cybersecurity, and digital operations behind a growing global automation company.
From the early broadband days and Innovative’s first website in the 90s, to mobile technology, 5G, cybersecurity and now AI, Scott has seen communication and technology evolve faster than ever before.
And through it all, he’s helped ensure Innovative evolves with it.
Technology keeps changing. Innovation never stops.

March is National Engineering Month in Canada, and we are wrapping it up by introducing one more member of our engineering team.

Meet Brad, who recently earned his P.Eng and has already built a strong track record here at Innovative Automation, working across meaningful projects, solving industry challenges, and developing solutions that make a difference on the floor.

And he’s not leaving without sharing some advice for anyone going through the P.Eng process right now.

Engineering powers everything we build ⚙️

This March we’re celebrating National Engineering Month in Canada, and the people behind the automation systems we design every day.

Meet Ryan Bridge, P.Eng, part of our engineering team for 8+ years.

He’s spent years building machines.
Today, he grabbed a camera. 📸

Meet Dennis Smith, Mechanical Developer at Innovative Automation.

We handed him an old-school Cybershot and told him to shoot his day.
No filters. No tripod. No photographer.

Just Dennis, the factory floor, and whatever caught his eye.

Turns out the guy who designs the machines also has the best eye for them.

February moved fast.
Our team was on factory floors in Barrie.
And on the ground across global markets.
🇲🇽Mexico.
🇸🇬Singapore.
🇺🇸California.
🇮🇹Italy.
From Expo Manufactura to MD&M West.
From customer conversations to system discussions.
While machines were running at home,
our sales team was building new relationships abroad.
And yes, even a little 🥞Pancake Tuesday with the team.
Momentum matters in manufacturing.
March is already in motion.

Behind every stable production line is structured ex*****on.
Most automation issues do not appear at launch.
They begin earlier.
In unclear requirements.
In integration gaps between mechanical and controls.
At Innovative Automation, every project moves through three connected phases.
Design.
Build.
Integrate.
Scope is defined early.
Cycle times are validated against production targets.
Safety is engineered from the start.
Controls and mechanics are developed together, not in isolation.
Uptime and repeatability are not features.
They are the result of disciplined system integration.
If you are planning your next automation project, where do you see the highest risk today?
