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

SUMMARY:How to Meet the Expectations of Today's Machine Shop Customer to Sell More
DESCRIPTION:Print PDFPrintToday’s machine shop customers are accustomed to one-click shopping and next-day delivery in their personal life; they expect their preferred manufacturer to operate at a similar pace. Taking several days to return an RFQ won’t cut it—speedy online transactions featuring instant quotes and sales are becoming the norm for shops looking to grow. \nIn this webinar\, DigiFabster will discuss how you can quickly align your business and customer experience to capture these evolving customer demands and grow your business as a result. \nAgenda:\n\nWhat does today’s machine shop customer expect?\nPitfalls of increasing headcount to solve your sales bottleneck\nHow incremental automation leads to growing sales and minimal disruption\n\nPresenter:\nPeter can der Zouwen\, Chief Product Officer\, DigiFabster \nPeter brings 25+ years of experience in manufacturing operations and consulting. Peter is self-proclaimed “naturally lazy”; therefore\, he is fascinated by solving efficiency issues for manufacturers. Peter’s view on the modern manufacturing process\, “B2B Sales seems to be the last frontier in the ongoing move towards automation and digitalization. 3D printing and CNC are simply the most likely candidates for automated sales processes\, but other industries will follow.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister \nModern Machine Shop and the presenting company will use the information you provide on this form to be in touch with you and to provide updates and marketing. **Joining the MMS digital community opts you in to MMS’s email products and the print or digital version of Modern Machine Shop magazine (depends on qualification).
