SOUTHWEST Session: This session will explore the transformative potential of industrial CT technology to revolutionize quality control in manufacturing and product development. Attendees will learn how CT enables faster, more accurate inspections, improves defect detection, and reduces waste while accelerating innovation and ensuring product reliability. We will examine the challenges of adopting these systems, including cost, workflow integration, and training, and share best practices for successful implementation across industries. In addition, we will highlight the role of automated inspection systems, their integration with complementary technologies, and what the future of digital quality control holds for organizations seeking a sustainable competitive edge in manufacturing.

SOUTHWEST Session: Everyone talks about AI — few talk about the “boring” foundation that makes it work. In manufacturing, most AI dreams collapse under the weight of messy spreadsheets, disconnected systems, and inconsistent data. This session cuts through the hype to reveal why data discipline—not algorithms—is the real competitive edge. We’ll explore how small and mid-sized manufacturers can turn their existing data into a living foundation for AI, move beyond endless pilots, and start making decisions that learn and adapt on their own. If you’ve ever wondered why your AI projects stall — or how even to get started with them — this talk is for you.

SOUTHWEST Session: Manufacturing is undergoing rapid digital transformation—driven by predictive maintenance, AI-driven insights, and smart factories. Yet IT/OT convergence is not achieved in strategy documents; it is lived daily through remote access, where people, vendors, and data cross into critical environments. This presentation explores the unique challenges CISOs and OT teams face—legacy patching debt, vendor access sprawl, ransomware pressure, and compliance demands—and why secure OT remote access is the essential bridge to efficiency, resilience, and productivity. Through industry case studies, we’ll examine how leaders are standardizing connectivity, reducing downtime costs, and enabling AI-driven operations—while ensuring security never falls behind transformation.

SOUTHWEST Session: Many manufacturers are stuck in “CMMC hell,” overspending, missing deadlines, and relying on providers who have never taken a company through a successful Level 2 audit. The result is frustration, wasted budgets, and failed assessments. In this session, Manufacturing ROI founder Ben Allen shares how to identify the warning signs of a failing CMMC plan and the steps to rescue it. Attendees will learn how to realign leadership and IT around a realistic roadmap, find funding to offset compliance costs, and select the right partner to ensure audit success. Manufacturing ROI is the nation’s only CMMC compliance brokerage, focused on helping manufacturers achieve compliance faster and more economically. This presentation offers a clear, practical path to avoid audit failure and turn CMMC from a costly burden into a strategic advantage.

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.
