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.

Winning with AI: The Manufacturer’s Guide to a Successful AI Journey

SOUTHEAST Session: Most manufacturers begin their AI journey with high expectations, yet research shows that 95 percent of GenAI projects fail to create real business value. A common trap is the shiny object syndrome, where leaders and empowered employees chase trendy tools that look impressive but do little to address core operational challenges. This is why only 5 percent of enterprise-built AI tools ever make it into production. The companies that succeed take a different path. They delve into the business itself, uncovering where AI can make the most significant difference. Predictive maintenance that prevents costly downtime, quality control that reduces waste, and supply chain optimization that improves resilience are just a few areas where measurable impact becomes possible. What often separates success from failure is expertise. Internal teams, no matter how skilled, can be limited by organizational bias, resource gaps, and familiar ways of thinking. That is why internal builds succeed only a third of the time. Third-party AI experts, on the other hand, bring fresh perspectives that identify blind spots, challenge assumptions, and apply proven frameworks that raise the success rate to nearly 70 percent. With the proper guidance, AI stops being an expensive experiment and becomes a powerful, revenue-generating asset. For manufacturers, this shift marks the difference between falling behind and building a sustainable competitive edge.

Fireside Chat - How a Small Fabrication Shop Started their Automation Journey

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.
