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.

SOUTHEAST Exhibitor: Six Sigma Concepts manufactures Stand Alone Video Metrology and 100% Sorting Systems. Our InGage Inspection & Sorting Software offers powerful and accurate inspection capability. InGage's primary function is to perform metrology on images of backlit part profiles. This is accomplished by the operator selecting regions of the image to analyze with software tools. Different tools are designed to extract different features from within their designated window. Sets of tools, their regions, and additional settings are all saved as a part program. Switching between saved part programs lets the operator change between parts while maintaining identical measurement criteria. InGage is able to operate in a number of configurations. Including multiple camera inputs, sorting system control, multiple part orientations, and much more. In addition to live inspection feedback, inspection results are automatically saved and can be published as a report. InGage allows the operator to select what information is saved and how that information is formatted and reported. Operating InGage is designed to be as intuitive as possible. Resources are available within InGage to help explain how features operate, such as button and property tool tips, operation directions, and a comprehensive manual. Additionally, video demos of the software are available online. Once operation proficiency is reached, complex inspection tasks only take a few minutes to setup.
