SOUTHEAST Exhibitor: We are a prototyping service company in southern California. Our manufacturing site features state-of-the-art CNC machines and other advantageous equipment. We have been working on prototyping for over 25 years from hand-made to machining. Also, we have ISO9001 and IATF 16949 Certified.
SOUTHEAST Exhibitor: WEIMA manufactures shredders and briquette presses for the metal industry. Reducing the volume of metal scrap by can decrease transportation and storage costs, increase the ability to reclaim expensive coolants or cutting fluids, and make it easier to resell metal scrap to recyclers. We want you to benefit from our decades of experience! With WEIMA metal shredders, it’s possible to shred all kinds of light metals including aluminum, magnesium, copper and brass. WEIMA's industrial scrap metal shredders can shred metal items such as cans, LED bulbs, electronics, metal scraps and steel chips. Once the metals have been processed, compressing them into briquettes can reduce input material volume by up to 90%! Transportation is much more efficient with the reduced volume and the metal recyclers like the dense, fluid-free briquettes for smelting. The briquetting process also offers the opportunity to reclaim expensive coolant, residual oils and emulsions allowing reintroduction into the production cooling and lubrication circuit. The WEIMA C.200 chip press is revolutionizing how machine tool businesses handle their turnings, swarf, and birds nests. From collecting and compressing to draining and fluid reclaim, this machine does it all in a single step. This machine has garnered quite a lot of interest from industry professionals that want to maximize the money they spend on cutting fluid and the time they spend moving this scrap around their plants.

SOUTHEAST Session: "From Crisis to Control: Offset Impact of Taxes & Tariffs with Modern Mfr. Business Software," explores strategies for mitigating the effects of taxes and tariffs on manufacturing businesses through the use of modern business software. It covers key financial and operational factors such as OBBA, tariffs, and technology, highlighting how these elements impact R&D credits, clean energy credits, bonus depreciation, and potential savings. The presentation also delves into the benefits of ERP software, emphasizing the need for high-quality data ingestion, cost accounting, supplier diversification, customer prioritization, and predictive analytics to enhance profitability and market share. Additionally, it provides an example of a modern ERP platform and discusses the integration of Acumatica Manufacturing ERP, which combines financials, planning, and scheduling to support diverse manufacturing strategies and deliver real-time insights.

SOUTHEAST Session: Manufacturers from fabricators to assembly shops are all challenged with workforce woes, the need to boost productivity and the endless quest for quality. Knowing automation is the answer is one thing, but actually finding real success with technology investments can feel challenging and risky. How do you know what will truly bring value to the organization? How do you determine the return? And now with the hype of Artificial Intelligence (AI) seemingly on every product, how do manufacturing leaders determine the right places to invest limited time and capital budgets? In this session, we will delve into the ever-evolving landscape of automation & AI in the factory and take a look at technologies that are having a real impact today across the shop floor. Then we will stare into the crystal ball to look forward at technologies that are on the near horizon that manufacturing leaders should be keeping an eye on. Covering important topics like human-robot collaboration, automated equipment tending, data-driven insights, cobot welding, predictive maintenance, robot guided vision, bin picking, collaborative automation, quality inspections, and much more, attendees should leave this session ready to make value-creating technology investments in their business. Join us as we explore how AI is reshaping the factory floor — one algorithm at a time.
