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. Learn more here: White House Fact Sheet This exclusive town hall roundtable gives manufacturing leaders the opportunity to: Get a seat at the table with peers and policymakers Make your voice heard in shaping U.S. manufacturing priorities Provide deeper insights beyond the formal Request for Information (RFI) process.

SOUTHWEST Session: Manufacturers from fabricators to assembly shops are all challenged with workforce woes, the need to boost productivity and the endless quest for quality. Knowing automation is the answer is one thing, but actually finding real success with technology investments can feel challenging and risky. How do you know what will truly bring value to the organization? How do you determine the return? And now with the hype of Artificial Intelligence (AI) seemingly on every product, how do manufacturing leaders determine the right places to invest limited time and capital budgets? In this session, we will delve into the ever-evolving landscape of automation & AI in the factory and take a look at technologies that are having a real impact today across the shop floor. Then we will stare into the crystal ball to look forward at technologies that are on the near horizon that manufacturing leaders should be keeping an eye on. Covering important topics like human-robot collaboration, automated equipment tending, data-driven insights, cobot welding, predictive maintenance, robot guided vision, bin picking, collaborative automation, quality inspections, and much more, attendees should leave this session ready to make value-creating technology investments in their business. Join us as we explore how AI is reshaping the factory floor — one algorithm 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: 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.
