Throughout our blog series, “The Patents that Made Us: A History of American Innovation in Building Automation,” we explored the stories of creative and passionate people who became the problem solvers of their generations.  

They created solutions like ice machines, dimmer switches, and well-connected soda machines. Their achievements in Wi-Fi, anti-virus software, and computer code made it possible for the kind of web-based digital connectivity we at KMC use in facility management. 

While it’s true that some of our featured innovators were professionals in the STEM fields, others were dabblers, dreamers, and weekend hobby inventors who changed the world through their passion and persistence. We hope their stories have inspired you to look around and see what influence you too can have on the world.  

KMC Controls is proud to support and recognize the unique contributions of contemporary men and women to the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Join us in our next blog series, “Inspiring STEM Across America,” as we celebrate the people currently driving these industries forward. These scientists, inventors, and technicians represent KMC’s values of focus, dedication, and passion—and we can’t wait to introduce you to them!
