Yvonne Harrison: Automation & Asset Data (Part 2)
Thursday, 17 September, 2026
A bad process that you automate is still a bad process. It's just faster, and now it has a timestamp on it.Griffin Hamilton and Yvonne Harrison of CamCode pick up part two of their conversation on automation, moving from clean data into the three pillars that decide whether a rollout actually sticks: standardized process, a real link between the asset and its record, and people who want to use it.What you'll learn:- Why standardizing the workflow has to come before automating it, walked through with an inspection example where seven technicians each have their own method, their own vocabulary, and their own way of capturing data- What bridging physical to digital means in practice, and why printed labels fail first in wash-down, outdoor, and high-heat environments, taking the asset history with them- The three reasons adoption stalls: users don't trust the data, the process feels more complicated than what they had, and nobody showed them the win- Why implementations slip from four months to eighteen, and the front-end work that keeps a go-live date honest- Yvonne's closing sequence: visibility, identification, data integrity, process standardization, and only then automationAbout Yvonne:Yvonne Harrison leads the facilities and asset management market at CamCode, best known for durable asset identification. She has sat on every side of a software implementation: technician building hierarchies, sales, and now the partner side doing field walk-downs and audits. Four years at IBM as an asset lifecycle management SME shaped how she thinks about the whole asset life cycle, from online to disposal.This is part two.
