Made in America, Powered by Tech: Is U.S. Manufacturing Ready to Scale?

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. 

How Lean Teams Cut Downtime and Boost Output with Smart Maintenance

SOUTHWEST Session: Unexpected breakdowns, rising costs, and limited asset visibility continue to be a challenge for manufacturers, especially as teams face mounting pressure to do more with less – fewer technicians, tighter budgets, and limited time. But with the right technology and a practical approach to reliability, lean teams can shift from fighting fires to building long-term, operational resilience into every layer of production. In this session, we’ll showcase how manufacturers are using modern CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) tools to drive higher uptime, extend asset life, and reduce reactive work – all without needing additional headcount or new equipment. We’ll demonstrate how top performing teams have digitized preventive maintenance schedules, deployed QR code-enabled work orders, and built mobile-first maintenance workflows that keep machines running and teams aligned. Whether you’re still using spreadsheets or looking to get more out of your current system, this session will provide a clear blueprint for building a smart, scalable maintenance program.

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.
