From Hype to Hands-On: A Practical AI Playbook for Small & Medium Manufacturers

SOUTHEAST Session: Many small and medium-sized manufacturers feel overwhelmed by the hype around artificial intelligence yet struggle to see where to begin without significant disruption or cost. This talk will present a practical, proven framework that helps owners, operators, and engineering managers adopt AI in a step-by-step approach. Real case studies will be shared, including a sales order entry automation initiative that reduced manual effort by 60% through the use of a third-party AI solution, allowing employees to focus on higher-value customer service and informed decision-making. Attendees will gain a clear roadmap to identify high-impact opportunities, pilot small projects, and scale AI solutions that deliver measurable ROI and strengthen long-term competitiveness. This session provides actionable strategies and dispels common myths, demonstrating that digital transformation does not have to be complex or out of reach for smaller manufacturers ready to take the first step.

Building the Data Foundation for AI Success

SOUTHEAST Session: Artificial intelligence has the potential to transform how companies operate, but too often, those investments fall short because the underlying data isn’t ready for AI. In this session, Rob Longfellow, CTO of Juxtum, will share how Juxtum helps organizations capture, clean, and integrate their data so that it works seamlessly with the AI platforms they already use. By breaking down silos, standardizing inputs, and creating scalable data pipelines, Juxtum ensures that AI delivers accurate insights, trusted recommendations, and measurable business value. Attendees will learn why strong data practices are the real key to AI success—and how Juxtum makes that possible today.

Democratizing AI for Small and Mid-sized Manufacturers

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.
