SOUTHWEST Session: LillyWorks’ Protected Flow Manufacturing (PFM) solves “The Late Problem” for manufacturers by implementing the “Dynamic Production Method” (DPM). DPM applies 3 principles from Lean/TOC and other manufacturing improvement techniques to deliver fast results so that Manufacturers can quickly see their On-Time Delivery go up, and their production lead-times go down. Manufacturers can implement DPM quickly using LillyWorks’ Protected Flow Manufacturing (PFM) software. PFM speeds the flow of information to production personnel, so they have the visibility to make the right decisions to accelerate the flow of material and workorders through the manufacturing shop. Manufacturers implementing PFM typically see significant improvements in OTD, reductions in production leadtimes, and increased throughput within 60 – 90 days. PFM can be used in a stand-alone mode, or tied directly to the company’s ERP system.

SOUTHWEST Session: The fusion energy sector is in a pivotal moment. Commercial fusion energy would help unlock an abundant new source of reliable energy to help meet the growing energy needs of the grid and data centers across the United States. The high energy density of fusion fuels - The fusion energy released from just 1 gram of fuel equals the energy from about 2,400 gallons of oil - makes it an important priority for American energy dominance. There is a growing consensus that commercial fusion power could soon become a reality. But how will we get there? DOE’s Office of Science Fusion Energy Sciences program aims to usher a burgeoning fusion private sector industry in the U.S. toward maturity on the most rapid timeline. By leveraging investments from both the public and private sectors with prudent and strategic processes, DOE is marshaling the forces of the public and private sector to close key gaps on the critical path toward fusion energy . What’s at stake is enormous. If the sector meets its ambitious timeline, fusion could transform the world’s energy system and truly unlock U.S. innovation and energy dominance.

SOUTHWEST Session: Unexpected breakdowns, rising costs, and limited asset visibility continue to be a challenge for manufacturers, especially as teams face mounting pressure to do more with less – fewer technicians, tighter budgets, and limited time. But with the right technology and a practical approach to reliability, lean teams can shift from fighting fires to building long-term, operational resilience into every layer of production. In this session, we’ll showcase how manufacturers are using modern CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) tools to drive higher uptime, extend asset life, and reduce reactive work – all without needing additional headcount or new equipment. We’ll demonstrate how top performing teams have digitized preventive maintenance schedules, deployed QR code-enabled work orders, and built mobile-first maintenance workflows that keep machines running and teams aligned. Whether you’re still using spreadsheets or looking to get more out of your current system, this session will provide a clear blueprint for building a smart, scalable maintenance program.

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.
