EAST Session:

EAST Session: Abstract : Enterprise-scale manufacturers continue to expand the use of precise 3D data and connected annotations, called Model-Based Definition (MBD), in place of traditional engineering drawings. The extent to which downstream suppliers are able to respond effectively to this ongoing, cross-industry change will be a significant determining factor on the structure of the manufacturing supply change in future decades. Guidelines from the United States Department of Defense (DoD) are major agents for change in this process. The DoD recognizes that MBD's capacity to support interoperable reuse of data across multiple production systems can accelerate engineering and manufacturing, improve quality, and reduce costs. When major private sector institutions like Deloitte produce findings showing how larger enterprises can gain efficiencies through these practices, expectations grow for the downstream suppliers to align themselves to these changes. For example: Lockheed has already made public that it expects its suppliers to be able to provide inspection data generated in downstream processes to be returned to them, a level of data exchange — the Digital Thread — only possible through integrated MBD processes. Understanding the factors that are currently limiting the expansion of MBD practices, and how technologies are being deployed to overcome those limits, gives perspective to today's manufacturing supplier on how they can prepare for the most imminent developments likely to arise. Significance/Importance : Industry advancement towards model-based definition (MBD) grows with each passing day in many key industries; leading the way are aerospace and defense. Major OEM manufacturers are deeply invested in this process evolution, and there are few if any market pressures influencing factors towards any other direction. Only inertia and cost of entry are acting to constrain this fundamental change.

EAST Session: Abstract : As factories and job shops move towards Industry 4.0, machine tools are becoming more connected, opening up new possibilities for productivity and efficiency. However, this connectivity also brings new cybersecurity risks. Many manufacturers think cybersecurity is just an IT issue, but the reality is that the shop floor is now a prime target for cyberattacks, ransomware, and system breaches that can halt production and damage equipment. In this session, we'll dive into practical, actionable strategies to boost cybersecurity specifically for machine tools and manufacturing systems. You'll learn why modern CNC machines, robots, and connected equipment are at risk, discover common vulnerabilities in connected manufacturing environments, and explore cost-effective cybersecurity best practices tailored for small and medium manufacturers. We'll also discuss how to collaborate with machine builders, software providers, and integrators to build resilient systems, share real-world case studies of attacks and lessons learned, and outline key steps you can take today to reduce risk without slowing down production. Whether you're running a high-mix job shop or a high-volume plant, this session will help you understand cybersecurity from the perspectives of operators, plant managers, and owners, and provide you with a roadmap to protect your business as you modernize operations. Significance/Importance : This presentation is crucial because it equips manufacturers with practical strategies to protect their connected systems from cyber threats, ensuring productivity and safety as they embrace Industry 4.0. Additionally, it will help the shop owner to be compliant with the cybersecurity requirement from the U.S. Deportment of Department of Defense (DoD) and European regulations.
