In this Read Listen Watch®, host Karen Edwards is joined by John Kenney of Cotney Consulting Group to break down how robotics and automation are beginning to influence the construction industry and what that means for roofing contractors. Rather than focusing on fear or speculation, the conversation centers on awareness, preparation and operational readiness. John shares where robotics are most likely to show up first, why this shift is more about process discipline than machines and how contractors can begin familiarizing themselves with emerging technology without disrupting crews or culture. This session is about staying informed, strengthening operations and making sure roofing companies are positioned to adapt rather than fall behind.
