U.S. National Strategic Plan for Advanced Manufacturing – Requesting Input from the Manufacturing Community

SOUTHWEST Session: Join us for a town hall event designed for exhibitors and attendees to help shape the future of federal research and development in advanced manufacturing. SPECIAL REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED: Register Here Participants will share insights to help define the priorities for the 2026 – 2030 National Strategic Plan for Advanced Manufacturing, which guides Federal efforts to enhance the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturing. The plan is revised every four years to provide new federal priorities in advanced manufacturing research and development, aiming to create jobs, boost economic growth across various sectors, and strengthen national security. This town hall session augments an online Request for Information (RFI), enabling participants to voice their views and catalyze deeper input into priority areas. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has posted the complete set of questions in the Federal Register. The National Science and Technology Council’s Subcommittee on Advanced Manufacturing will manage the RFI process, and the NIST Office of Advanced Manufacturing will collect and analyze the information.

The Future of Manufacturing: Harnessing Acumatica, AI, ML, LLMs, and IoT

SOUTHWEST Session: The future of manufacturing is being reshaped by the integration of Acumatica, AI, ML, LLMs, and IoT. These technologies collectively drive unprecedented efficiency, innovation, and sustainability. Acumatica’s cloud ERP streamlines operations and scalability, while AI and ML optimize production, predict maintenance, and analyze data for smarter decision-making. LLMs enhance communication and automate documentation, and IoT enables real-time monitoring and interconnected smart factories. Together, they reduce costs, minimize waste, and foster agility, positioning manufacturers to thrive in a competitive global market. By embracing these advancements, companies can achieve long-term success, transform their operations, and lead the industry into a new era of productivity and sustainability.
