SOUTHEAST Session: Digital twins are rapidly becoming a cornerstone of advanced manufacturing, enabling companies to simulate, optimize, and validate their production processes in a virtual environment before committing to physical execution. This presentation explores the value of digital twins specifically in the domains of CNC machining, robotic automation, and the broader virtual factory. In CNC machining, digital twins replicate the behavior of machines, tools, and part geometries, allowing for precise simulation of toolpaths and real-time detection of potential collisions, over-travel, and inefficiencies. By simulating the exact machine kinematics, spindle dynamics, and tool libraries, manufacturers can reduce setup times, improve part quality, and significantly lower the risk of costly rework or downtime. In robotic work cells, digital twins mirror robotic behavior, motion, and task sequences. This enables manufacturers to program, test, and optimize robot trajectories and tool interactions virtually - ensuring safety, cycle time optimization, and maximum utilization of expensive automation assets. Collision detection, reach analysis, and process synchronization can all be handled digitally before deployment on the shop floor. At the virtual factory level, digital twins provide a holistic view of the entire manufacturing environment - integrating machines, robotics, material flow, operators, and logistics into a unified simulation. This enables strategic decision-making, accurate capacity planning, and the ability to test process changes in a risk-free virtual environment. The result is greater agility, resilience, and efficiency across the entire production lifecycle. Attendees will gain insight into how digital twins reduce risk, increase productivity, and enable smarter planning across manufacturing operations. By harnessing digital twins in CNC machining, robotic systems, and factory-wide simulations, companies can accelerate their journey toward digital transformation and fully realize the promise of Industry 4.0.

SOUTHEAST Session: Job shops, mid-size machine shops, and contract manufacturers power much of the world’s production, yet they face persistent constraints: skilled labor shortages, rising complexity, and pressure to deliver faster at lower cost. While AI adoption has taken root in large enterprises, the greatest untapped potential lies with small and mid-sized manufacturers. This session will cover how practical AI solutions can compress programming time, improve productivity and reskill existing and onboard new employees and attract a new generation of talent.

SOUTHEAST Session: Are you confident that your machine monitoring solution can scale with your evolving data needs? Many manufacturers adopt IIoT solutions only to realize too late that rigid connectivity architectures limit their future growth. As manufacturing technology advances and data-driven decision-making becomes essential, off-the-shelf monitoring solutions and short-term fixes may seem convenient but often create long-term limitations. Manufacturers need a scalable, secure, and interoperable connectivity framework to maximize IIoT investments and ensure seamless data flow across their operations. At Juxtum, we help manufacturers bridge the gap between machine connectivity and actionable intelligence. In this webinar, Juxtum’s IIoT experts will uncover the most common mistakes companies make when selecting a machine monitoring platform and provide a roadmap to choosing a future-ready solution that delivers ROI while supporting long-term digital transformation.

SOUTHEAST Exhibitor: DEPURECO USA Depureco Industrial Vacuums is one of the oldest companies in the industrial vacuum field. Since 1972, our company never stopped working diligently to make each working place a cleaner space. All of our industrial vacuum units are manufactured in our production facility in Italy, using state-of-the-art equipment and processes. Depureco counts more than 180 vacuums in the range with particular focus on Metal Working Industry. Our offe includes: -Sump Vacuum Systems (110V - 380V and Compressed Air Operated) -HEPA Vacuums for fine and dangerous dust -Additive Manufacturing Industrial Vacuums NFPA 652 Compliance and ATEX Certified -Centralised Vacuum Transport for metal chips and dust Discover more on our Web Site: www.depurecousa.com MICRONFILTER Our filtration units are equipped with low consumption motors and highly engineered fans, resistant but light, capable of providing excellent air flow rates while consuming much less energy than competitors (on average 50% less). For every additional kWh consumed on your farm, half a kilogram of CO2 is released into the atmosphere. The same principles underlying the AIR filtration and purification units have inspired the production of Micronfilter in the LIQUIDS sector: different types of purifiers for lubricating cooling oils, emulsions and more generally for all liquids used in industrial processes. Our main products are: -Oil and emulsion mist collectors with HEPA Filters -Paper filtering systems -Self-cleaning systems -Dredging depurators -Magnetic separators Discover more on our Web Site: www.micronfilter.it
