Benefits of Automatic Scheduling and Load Balancing
Software automation can do more than automatically program your blankmaking forming equipment. Why not take things to the next level? This presentation will show the benefits of automated software that will schedule your production and automatically create nests for your lasers–while dynamically balancing the workload at each workstation. The presenter will provide the benefits of his experience to this new fabricating frontier.

Connecting your Business: Your Company is Your Product
When you step into a fab business, there’s a stark disconnect between the shop floor and the office. The shop runs on advanced machinery and robots, moving and cutting material at extreme precision, while archaic software supplemented by paper and spreadsheets determines how the business operates. These advanced machines produce isolated data that should instantly flow to a central operating system, visible to everyone. A mountain of data exists in fab shops, but it needs to be connected to be actionable. This is possible through one connected manufacturing system. Once synced, modern technologies (AI stuff, cloud stuff, internet stuff) open the possibilities for a new connected manufacturing era, moving beyond the shop. In this presentation, the presenter will talk about how to reconcile all this data into actionable insights and create a culture of collaboration by connecting the entire business, from office to shop floor.
