CURRENTLY SCHEDULED TEK TALKS

Join us for informative and stimulating talks on groundbreaking topics by industry specialists.

• We Are U.S. Manufacturers

  10:00 AM

  Alan Huber, Production Plant Superintendent, Mazak Corporation

  Mazak has been manufacturing in the United States since 1974. Due to the cyclical nature of the machine tool industry, Mazak has experienced many different scenarios during this time. With over 30 years of experience, Alan Huber gives us some insight on what it takes to be profitable and efficient in the U.S.

• A New Paradigm for Industrial Engineering

  10:30 AM

  Grady Cope, President & CEO, Reata Engineering

  The new model in manufacturing is the reduction of overhead and floor space. How do you move from multiple single spindles and poor part flow to modular palletized systems? What are the additional benefits? How soon do you see a return on investment? Grady Cope discusses his story of making the switch.

• Looking Ahead: Future of the Digital Machine Shop

  11:00 AM

  Jeff Rizzie, Senior Manager of Business Development, Sandvik Coromant

  Through the lens of the machine shop owner/manager, Jeff will invite participants to consider how the “digital thread” will fundamentally transform their shop’s value stream in the future. Additionally, he will show some technologies that are already commonplace in other industries and explore how shops might repurpose these capabilities for use in digital manufacturing.

• Skilled Labor Not Quite Skillful Enough

  1:00 PM

  David Gonzales, Associate Dean of the School of Career and Technical Education, Long Beach Community College

  Finding affordable skilled labor in the current industrial climate has proven to be the most frustrating obstacle of running a shop. David Gonzales sheds light on the new educational facilities that have been developed to train today’s young workers and where to find them.

• Robots That Won’t Start an Uprising

  1:30 PM

  Andy Justice, Director of Business Development, Numatic Engineering

  The industry’s fear of robotics has created a myth that, “Robots are just not for my shop.” Andy Justice demystifies the simplicity of current automation systems and discusses advancements in robotics that have made symbiotic robotic systems and workstations that cooperate with human workers.

• The Next Manufacturing Revolution

  2:30 PM

  Dan Janka, President, Mazak Corporation

  Mazak leads the way as today’s emerging technologies become tomorrow’s industry standards. Dan Janka will explain the impact of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) on the development of intelligent, worry-free manufacturing. He will also discuss game-changing manufacturing processes, including 3D printing as well as expanded Multi-Tasking machines that integrate gear cutting, friction stir welding, honing and hybrid additive capabilities.

• What the New Administration Means for Manufacturing

  3:00 PM

  Amber Thomas, Vice President of Marketing and Communications, AMT – The Association for Manufacturing Technology

  President Trump made big promises during his campaign about strengthening manufacturing and creating jobs.
