SOUTHWEST Session: Manufacturers increasingly struggle with robotic surface finishing, treatment, and welding as production shifts toward high-mix, high-variability manufacturing. Traditional robotic systems demand time-consuming, manual programming—often taking days or weeks to accommodate complex geometries. These systems also lack adaptive capabilities, making it difficult to compensate for part variations. The result: costly manual touchups, process inefficiencies, and production delays.   Augmentus transforms robotic surface applications by combining advanced 3D scanning with automated toolpath generation. By eliminating the need for manual programming and enabling seamless adaptation to part variations, Augmentus delivers greater accuracy, reduced rework, and significantly improved operational efficiency.   This presentation explores how Augmentus overcomes key industry barriers—empowering manufacturers with precision, adaptability, and unmatched process efficiency across surface finishing, surface treatment, and welding applications.

Speaker at SOUTHWEST: James Lozos, President, Systematic Quality Management Systems, Inc.

SOUTHWEST Session: In today’s manufacturing environment, quality systems are often weighed down by the very tools meant to improve them. Multiple databases, disconnected platforms, and redundant processes can make even the most capable teams less efficient. Yet true excellence has never been about doing more — it’s about seeing clearly. In this session, James Lozos shares insights from over three decades working with manufacturers to design, implement, and sustain ISO-based management systems across aerospace, automotive, medical, and industrial sectors. Drawing on lessons from the field, he demonstrates how simplicity and integration — not complexity — drive productivity, consistency, and long-term success. Attendees will learn how to: Recognize where complexity hides in everyday processes Connect core quality functions to everyday workflow Adopt simple, best practices Align digital tools with ISO 9001’s process-based intent to achieve measurable efficiency
