ID34 Mining & Engineering

VanBlake Shannon. Professional Staitonary Engineer. Mentor. 10 years critical infrastructure — 0 accidents, 0  shutdowns. 30 years field experience.

The channel explores the  blindspots of field engineering, emerging technology, and operational doctrine. Content covers automation and controls, OT/ICS security, Bitcoin mining infrastructure, 3D printing, edge computing, AI tools, and the question nobody in the industry is asking: how are engineers being trained differently to operate smart facilities?
The answer, largely, is they aren't. That's what this channel exists to address.
