SOUTHEAST Exhibitor: Manufacturing Rep Firm specializing in cutting tool applications.

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.

SOUTHEAST Session: Manufacturers today face a critical workforce challenge. An aging labor pool, persistent skills shortages, and post-pandemic attrition have created gaps that traditional hiring alone cannot solve. These pressures demand innovative approaches to sustaining productivity and competitiveness. Robotics offers a practical, scalable solution, not as a replacement for people, but as a partner that augments human capabilities. Collaborative robots (cobots) are designed to work alongside operators, taking on repetitive, physically demanding, or hazardous tasks. This partnership allows employees to focus on higher-value activities such as quality control, process improvement, and customer engagement. Studies show that human–robot teams significantly reduce idle time and improve throughput compared to all-human work environments. Real-world examples illustrate the shift. Chipotle’s “Autocado” robot automates the tedious process of cutting and coring avocados, while staff concentrate on quality and service. On manufacturing floors, cobots assist with material handling, precision assembly, and inspection; areas where ergonomics and consistency are critical. Rather than eliminating jobs, robotics transforms them, creating safer workplaces and more sustainable operations. This session, “Robotics as a Partner, Not a Replacement, for Manufacturing Jobs,” will explore how manufacturers can strategically adopt robotics to address workforce shortages without diminishing employee value. Attendees will gain insights into the benefits of cobot integration, practical considerations for implementation, and the long-term potential of human–robot collaboration. The presentation emphasizes that the future of manufacturing is not a choice between people and machines, but a partnership that strengthens both.

SOUTHEAST Session: Supply chains and manufacturing networks are experiencing profound change. Increasing globalization has made them more complex and harder to control, while rising cost pressures demand greater efficiency and waste reduction. At the same time, companies are under mounting pressure to meet sustainability goals and prove transparency in how assets are used and managed. The rapid adoption of digital transformation and Industry 4.0 technologies has created enormous potential, yet many organizations still struggle to connect their physical assets with meaningful, actionable data.  This presentation will educate attendees and provide insights into how Sensolus asset tracking solution helps organizations overcome complexity, strengthen resilience, and achieve operational excellence, bringing clarity and intelligence to modern supply chains.
