Metal fabricators and machine shops are navigating a perfect storm of skilled labor shortages combined with a transition into shop floor automation and information technology that is radically changing the way they compete. The majority of shops have either no strategy or only an informal strategy to manage this transition. On September 28, 2016, Fabricating & Metalworking is hosting a free webinar on “The Future State: Shop Automation and the Industrial Internet of Things” that is designed to help direct these shops through the storm by educating them on how to build toward the future state of a fully interconnected plant that generates competitive advantage through continually leaner automation.

Construction of this future state begins with altering or changing the traditional way a shop selects and purchases equipment and systems. This webinar will profile the new selection and purchase process by examining:

  • How a shop moves from labor-centric operations to machine-centric.
  • How a shop shifts from lean manufacturing to smart machines as drivers of waste elimination.
  • How a shop selects and purchases smart machines, and how this differs from the old way of buying traditional machine tools.

This webinar will discuss how to invest in smart machines that aid in improving a shop’s entire production system, not just an existing process, and share tips on equipment and systems that buyers of smart machines must look for. You don’t want to miss this.
