Steelhead Technologies announced the official launch of The Steelhead Hatchery, a cutting-edge demonstration environment that showcases its job shop software. According to the announcement, a Steelhead Hatchery, in the context of Steelhead Technologies, represents a paradigm shift in how the company approaches manufacturing solutions. The company said the Steelhead Hatchery will nurture individuals and businesses from initial curiosity to complete mastery of the Steelhead platform.

“We are excited to open the doors to our Steelhead Hatchery and invite the industry to explore the future of manufacturing with us,” said Jeff Halonen, chief executive officer at Steelhead Technologies. “Just as a hatchery fosters the growth of steelhead trout, our Hatchery nurtures the growth of knowledge and expertise within the Steelhead ecosystem. We believe this initiative will revolutionize how businesses perceive and leverage ERP solutions.”

The Steelhead Hatchery offers a full-scale playground where employees, prospects and new customers can immerse themselves in the manufacturing ERP platform. It simulates the real-life experience that job shops across the country will have with the job shop software, ensuring a deep understanding of its exponential power.

The Hatchery comprises nine stations that mimic the various steps of typical metal finishing plant processes. This gives the operator an opportunity to receive a deep understanding of the physical application and software execution of each process. Steelhead has revolutionized the company’s training experience by providing a realistic demonstration of the capabilities of each feature to support visual, physical and social learning styles. 

The first Hatchery training session took place in September with a group of seven guests. According to the announcement, the hands-on environment allowed for an accelerated and more complete understanding of the software features and capabilities. One of the guests remarked, “My interpretation of the value of Steelhead has now tripled, now that I have experienced its power.”
