AI-enabled vision systems can significantly enhance accuracy and speed in quality inspections, significantly reducing defects and eliminating costly rework. But effectively deploying these systems requires a strong data foundation, the right digital infrastructure, integration with manufacturing systems and a clearly defined use case with measurable value. Find out how embracing this technology and developing a…

Manufacturers that win will turn operational data into real-time advantage. In this session, Thermo Fisher Scientific shares how it scaled a digital performance system that delivers immediate visibility into OEE, yield, and time-loss events. By equipping teams with live dashboards and root-cause analytics, they accelerated decision-making on the factory floor—reducing downtime and driving measurable performance…

What if the world’s most powerful magnets could be made without relying on rare earth elements? This session explores how Niron Magnetics is doing exactly that with high-performance iron nitride magnets built entirely from abundant, globally available materials. Beyond magnets, the lessons in innovation, resilience and supply chain agility apply to manufacturers across industries. Learn…

Too many digital initiatives start as promising pilots and end as isolated experiments that never scale. PACCAR has avoided this pitfall by evaluating digital projects not just on technical capability but on whether they can become global standards across its production system. Deep engagement with frontline teams is the difference between real adoption and vanity…
