SUMMARY:Leveraging Deep Learning and AI Applications in Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintDo AI and Deep Learning belong on the factory floor or are they just for those with their heads in the clouds?  Is being “on the edge” actually a good thing when you want to improve quality and reduce costs? \nAs a manufacturer seeking to improve your production processes\, you must consider these questions\, and more. You face an array of technologies that promises to help you reach your goals\, and  you must carefully evaluate your options before making any decisions. The fact is that manufacturers like you are successfully using AI and Deep Learning in their operations. \nCome join us to hear real-world case studies about how a chemical factory\, a glass factory and a fabric factory reduced their costs and increased their quality\, and the role AI and Deep Learning played in those successes. \nIn addition we will also cover: \n\nWhy the Cloud has limitations for AI and Deep Learning on the factory floor.\nWhy on-premise is fashionable again; now they call it “edge computing.”\nWhy factory-floor AI and Deep Learning need both a hybrid edge/cloud to truly deliver 4.0 Smart Factory capabilities\n\nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Endeavor’s Terms of Service and to Endeavor’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Endeavor\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Endeavor’s Privacy Policy.

SUMMARY:Improve Performance via Cleaner Metal
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintMetal filtration within the foundry industry has long been a staple method for ensuring the integrity of a casting. In this webinar we will examine the traditional methods of metal filtration by addressing core technologies and new innovations\, such as EXACTPORE 3D filters. \nA special focus on 3D filter technology: Metal purity is one of the most important requirements in the foundry industry. Best practice in the field of molten metal filtration is the use of sintered ceramic foam filters. But the structure of the filter foams in particular means that this form of filtration also has its limits. During the ceramic coating and sintering process\, tiny particles may form inside the filter structure\, which are only slightly sintered with the base material. Flow through the filter can cause these particles to detach\, which impairs the purity of the melt and can lead to inclusions in the casting.  Learn how these issues can be solved in this webinar through 3D technology. \nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Endeavor’s Terms of Service and to Endeavor’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Endeavor\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Endeavor’s Privacy Policy.

SUMMARY:How to Achieve End-to-End Visibility in Logistics
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintTo successfully control costs\, manage risk\, and scale operations\, logistics leaders must have visibility into every element of their operations. But\, with different teams using various systems\, applications\, and documents to manage workflows\, achieving this end-to-end transparency can be nearly impossible. \nBut it doesn’t have to be. \nThe “secret sauce” of taking your logistics to the next level is through the implementation of a low-code platform. Low-code is a modern\, agile way to build and continually improve business software applications\, to better match the pace of change in today’s digital business environment. \nJoin us October 15th to uncover How to Achieve End-to-End Visibility in Logistics. Our speakers will walk through how large-scale global organizations are achieving real-time visibility across their supply chains. \nBy leveraging a low-code platform\, logistics leaders across industries have been able to connect disparate sources of data and information – from ERPs to one-off spreadsheets – and achieve real-time visibility across departments\, locations\, and teams. Join us to learn how you can do the same\, including: \n\nWhat is low-code?\nThe basics of implementation\nPractical gains that manufacturers have seen\n\nPlus\, bring your logistics challenges and pose them to our panel so you can start solving your problems today. \nRegister \nBy clicking above\, I acknowledge and agree to Endeavor’s Terms of Service and to Endeavor’s use of my contact information to communicate with me about offerings by Endeavor\, its brands\, affiliates and/or third-party partners\, consistent with Endeavor’s Privacy Policy.

SUMMARY:Implementing Lean Principles - How Modern Technology is Changing the Game
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintThe five Lean principles are well known and have been adopted by many organizations since they were introduced in the ‘90s. Ultimately\, Lean focuses on eliminating waste (any unnecessary activity that consumes time\, resources\, or space) so that every step of a process adds value. It is no surprise then that in this period of uncertainty\, we are seeing a renewed interest in Lean to increase productivity and reduce costs without affecting quality. \nIn this webinar\, we will discuss how modern technologies make Lean easier to implement and measure. We will focus on the main reasons to digitize your Lean principles including: \n\nHow visual management can have a huge impact on people’s efficiency across all levels\nWhich digital tools enable Continuous Improvement by giving users ownership of their applications\nHow changing your waste management procedures can improve efficiency\nWhy you should digitize your work processes to ensure consistency\, repeatability\, traceability\, and more\n\nJoin us and discover how a modern implementation of Lean can dramatically impact quality\, efficiency\, and your bottom line. \nVisit IMC’s events page to learn more and register for our upcoming Lean Manufacturing Level One Certification in Williamsport and State College.

SUMMARY:Improving Food & Beverage Inspection with Automated Machine Vision
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintIt’s widely known that human vision performs adequately for a certain period of time\, but is subject to distraction and subsequent mistakes. Multiple quality control studies show that human inspectors consistently find only 80% of the defects\, while\, in some applications\, machine vision has been shown to approach a 0% inspection failure rate. And\, as technology prices drop\, and the ease of use increases\, machine vision continues to be a more attractive option for small and medium-sized manufacturers\, particularly in the Food & Beverage industry. \nOn December 8th at 10:30 AM PT\, Robotics Automation Engineering Expert Jonathan Perez and Technical Services Senior Consultant Matt Minner will discuss how machine vision can help Food & Beverage manufacturers gain real\, measurable metrics by: \n\n\n\nIncreasing throughput by eliminating nonconforming product & packaging\nImproving quality by verifying all parameters of an item\nProtecting consumers to make sure products are labeled properly for identification\nTracking products to ensure items are where they need to be\n\n\n\nRegister \n\n\n\n\nMeet the Speakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJonathan Perez\nRobotics Automation Engineering Expert\nCMTC Contractor\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt Minner\nSenior Consultant\, Technical Services\nCatalyst Connection\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrint PDFPrint
