Dave Graf

Before beginning a 30 plus year career in Industrial Sales and Sales Management, Dave was a professional musician for a 10 year span as a guitarist/vocalist/songwriter. He and his wife of 33 years Kathy, relocated from their hometown of Chicago in ‘97 to Scottsdale, AZ where they spend much of the year along with son Matt, daughter Kylie and wonder dogs Gracie and Rizzo (you can take the Cubs fans out of Chicago but….!)

  • Reduce Multi Vendor Integration Risks With Structured Ownership

    The article explains how structured ownership reduces multi-vendor integration risk by assigning clear accountability from planning through commissioning. It highlights end-to-end automation strategies for structural steel fabrication, aligning equipment, software, and data workflows to improve throughput, quality, and traceability. By coordinating integration across oil and gas, shipbuilding, bridge, and tower construction shops, teams can shorten ramp-up time, avoid costly rework, and validate ROI with measurable productivity and cost-per-part gains.
