⚽ Today, one of the world’s biggest sporting events begins.

48 teams. 16 host cities. Millions of fans watching.

Most people will focus on the game. Engineers notice something else.

Inside the match ball, sensors, vision systems, AI, and real-time data processing work together to track movement and support split-second decisions.

The same technologies are helping manufacturers improve quality, increase efficiency, and automate complex processes every day.

From robotics and machine vision to fully integrated automation systems, we’re proud to see engineering making an impact far beyond the factory floor.

Automation is closer to our daily lives than most people realize.

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.
