WELCOME & KEYNOTE
TITLE: Automating to survive in the current hiring environment. Hint – it isn’t robots.
SPEAKER: Nathan Byman, President and CEO, Wolfram Manufacturing Technologies
ABSTRACT: Robots are terrific and have a place in all our operations. While they may be the informal poster for automation, they are far from the place to start. We will discuss ways we view and monitor our shop to identify process weaknesses and some of the tools that can be used to address them. These tools provide substantial gains in and of themselves – and also prepare for straighter-forward robotics when the time comes.
