SOUTHWEST Session: In today’s manufacturing landscape, effective communication isn’t just about speed—it’s about intelligence. As the industry faces growing complexity across global supply chains, workforce dynamics, and customer expectations, the ability to turn data into dialogue has become a defining competitive edge. This session, presented by Epicor , explores how manufacturers can harness Artificial Intelligence to transform business communications —from automating customer and supplier interactions to enabling real-time insights across production, sales, and service operations. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of how AI-driven tools can streamline collaboration, reduce administrative overhead, and enhance decision-making accuracy across the enterprise. We’ll showcase real-world examples of manufacturers leveraging Epicor’s AI-powered solutions to personalize communications, predict operational needs, and empower teams to focus on innovation rather than information management. Whether you’re seeking to modernize internal workflows or elevate customer engagement, this session offers a roadmap to achieving measurable ROI through intelligent communication ecosystems. Takeaway: Discover how AI is redefining the way manufacturers connect, collaborate, and compete—one conversation at a time.

SOUTHWEST Session: This demonstration showcases how agentic automation streamlines material replacement and inventory management using UiPath Maestro. The flow begins with an MTR (Material Test Report) being received, processed, and linked to its corresponding purchase order (PO). Upon identifying a defective material, the system transitions to a Maestro-driven workflow where an intelligent agent analyzes the issue, reviews inventory, and finds suitable substitute materials. The agent then recommends replacements based on availability and need. A human operator reviews and refines these recommendations—such as adjusting shipping quantities—and approves an automatically drafted email prepared by the remediation agent for the customer and requisition team. The demo concludes by highlighting how this automation fits into a larger source-to-pay and manufacturing management process, improving speed, accuracy, and end-to-end efficiency.

SOUTHWEST Session: Transitioning from prototyping to serial production is the defining challenge in additive manufacturing today. This presentation by Farsoon Technologies Americas will demonstrate a clear pathway to achieving high-volume, cost-effective manufacturing using truly open and integrated 3D printing solutions. We will explore real-world success stories across key industries, including the production of civil aerospace components, high-performance shoe molds, Intricate 3C products, electronic motorcycle parts, athletic and sporting goods, and medical implants. These case studies will reveal how our open-system approach provides the flexibility and material choice necessary for serial production. The session will then delve into the specific technology innovations that make this possible. We will showcase how Beam Shaping optimizes material and processing capabilities, while the Support Reduction System (SRS) slashes post-processing time and material waste. Attendees will learn how fine laser spot printing achieves ultra-fine 0.05mm details for intricate parts, and how large-layer thickness printing drastically improves efficiency for less critical dimensions. We will also highlight specialized solutions like Auto-Grafting Technology for superior mold production. Join us to discover how the latest advancements 3D printing technology are delivering great ROI by reducing total manufacturing costs and unlocking the full potential of volume AM production.
