Overcoming Variability Challenges in Surface Processes with Adaptive Automation

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.

Production Scheduling Re-Invented

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.
