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: Manufacturers performing visual inspections on their products have historically had two options: perform the inspection manually, or program a rule-based vision system. Both of these options are slow, inflexible, and costly to maintain. However, as Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) have become more powerful, a third approach has become available: deep learning. Deep learning-based vision systems learn directly from annotated images to perform inference on images. They offer numerous advantages including rapid deployment, greater detection flexibility, and lower development and acquisition costs. They are also easily retrained and reconfigured with minimal to no programming. As such, they represent a massive opportunity to automate quality inspection for small to medium sized manufacturers. In this presentation, we will discuss the technology that enables AI-based computer vision, the advantages they provide, use cases, and how to best implement them. Attendees will walk away with a clear understanding of where deep learning fits into their operation and how to get started with the right tools and strategy.
SOUTHEAST Session: Manufacturers face a dual challenge: reducing unplanned downtime while also addressing rising energy costs and sustainability targets. Traditional Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) has focused on asset reliability and uptime, but it often overlooks the significant energy wasted when machines operate in a fault state, up to 20% more electricity. This presentation introduces Energy-Centered Maintenance (ECM) , a next-generation approach that combines predictive maintenance with energy efficiency. By monitoring key parameters of rotating equipment, ECM helps manufacturers detect early signs of inefficiency, prevent failures, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Attendees will see real-world case studies, including how a pharmaceutical manufacturer deployed over 140 sensors across global facilities to save 136 hours of downtime and $42,000 in excess energy usage. The session will demonstrate how ECM strategies deliver measurable ROI, improve operational excellence, and align maintenance practices with corporate sustainability goals
