Breakthroughs in Vision Inspection Technology
2021-08-11 15:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | IL
The last 10 years has seen an array of new technologies that are changing the way companies inspect and analyze parts. From job shops to high-volume production shops, machine shops across all industries have been influenced by breakthroughs in the field of vision inspection, and new technologies continue to hit the market each month.

Benefiting from improvements in sub-pixel processing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, as well as innovations in combining these technologies, the ability to inspect parts during and after production has advanced in ways that seemed like science-fiction only 10 years ago.

Join Michael Vincent, Sr. Product Manager with Keyence Corporation of America, for a review of some of the most interesting new technology releases as he presents on innovations for in-machine, shop floor, and even handheld 3D inspection systems.

Digital Twins and the Impact on Small and Medium Manufacturers
2023-05-25 14:00 - 17:00
Join Dr. Michael Grieves as he discusses how Digital Twins (DTs) are impacting engineering and manufacturing in a dramatic way by moving work from the physical world into the virtual world. Product companies are moving from physical plans, 2D build-to-print blueprints, physical prototypes, paper quality control documents accompanying shipments to 3D build to digital models, digital mock-up units (DMUs), and data-based DT Instances transmitted on a continuous basis. This will require both technology and culture changes. SMMs will need to adopt DT capabilities or perish.
