Swiss Machining in Today’s Manufacturing

SOUTHWEST Session: Modern Swiss machining continues to evolve through advanced software that combines digital twin technology with AI-driven automation. This presentation explores how the latest tools in ESPRIT EDGE are transforming how complex, multi-axis kinematic machines are programmed - enhancing precision, adaptability, and overall efficiency - while also empowering the workforce with intuitive, intelligent solutions that simplify complexity, support upskilling, and help manufacturers attract and retain skilled talent in an evolving industry. Key Points: • Intelligent digital twin • Comprehensive setups • Simplified programming • Accurate simulation and G-code output

Bridging the Gap: How Secure Remote Access Powers Manufacturing IT/OT Convergence

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.

AI and Its Boring Foundation

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.
