SOUTHWEST Session: The call to bring manufacturing back to U.S. soil has never been louder—but the question remains: Can our manufacturing sector meet the moment?  This presentation dives into the reality behind the reshoring movement and explores the technological readiness of U.S. manufacturers to produce more efficiently, competitively, and sustainably. We’ll unpack where the gaps lie in digital adoption, automation, smart factory infrastructure, and skilled labor—and where forward-thinking manufacturers are already making big moves.  Learn what it truly takes to modernize your plant, compete globally, and deliver on the promise of “Made in the USA.”  In this session, we’ll cover the following:  The current state of U.S. manufacturing technology adoption  How automation, AI, and data are transforming the factory floor  Challenges and solutions in bridging the tech and workforce gap  What industry leaders are doing to future-proof their operations  Practical steps to accelerate your technology readiness  Whether you're  a C-suite executive, IT leader, or operations leader this webinar will give you the insights and next steps you need to drive innovation and scalability in your manufacturing business.

SOUTHWEST Session: Your next efficiency breakthrough isn't hiding in a machine learning algorithm. It's walking around your shop floor right now. While manufacturing obsesses over AI, 85% of operations still depend on human expertise. The CNC programmer who knows exactly when to adjust spindle speeds. The veteran welder who spots perfect joints in seconds. The setup technician whose alignment cuts cycle times. These operators don't just run your processes, they've mastered them. They hold the institutional knowledge that separates good production from great production. But your systems can't see what they know, creating a costly blind spot. Mid-market manufacturers nationwide face the same challenge: valuable knowledge trapped in individual heads instead of being scaled digitally. The result is lost efficiency because operator expertise can’t integrate with core systems. Companies overcoming this aren’t layering more machine learning. They’re building systems that amplify human intelligence. They digitize workflows, connect teams to real-time data, and create interfaces designed around how operators think and work, not the other way around. In this session, Docket will reveal how shop floor digitization platforms close the gap between operator expertise and digital execution. You’ll gain practical insights into smart manufacturing systems that support your frontline, enabling faster setups, higher accuracy, and smoother production. At a time when manufacturers chase the next big overhaul, don’t overlook the team that got you here. The goal isn’t replacing human insight, it’s designing systems that can multiply it.
