EAST Session:
EAST Session: Abstract : Are you confident that your machine monitoring solution can scale with your evolving data needs? Many manufacturers adopt IIoT solutions only to realize too late that rigid connectivity architectures limit their future growth. As manufacturing technology advances and data-driven decision-making becomes essential, off-the-shelf monitoring solutions and short-term fixes may seem convenient but often create long-term limitations. Manufacturers need a scalable, secure, and interoperable connectivity framework to maximize IIoT investments and ensure seamless data flow across their operations. At Juxtum, we help manufacturers bridge the gap between machine connectivity and actionable intelligence. In this webinar, Juxtum’s IIoT experts will uncover the most common mistakes companies make when selecting a machine monitoring platform and provide a roadmap to choosing a future-ready solution that delivers ROI while supporting long-term digital transformation. Significance/Importance : Why Is This Topic Important? Manufacturers rely on IIoT for real-time insights, but many adopt machine monitoring solutions without considering long-term connectivity needs. Early off-the-shelf solutions often create data silos, limiting scalability and interoperability. As Industry 4.0 advances, seamless, future-proof connectivity is essential for optimizing operations. Without it, businesses face costly system overhauls and missed efficiency gains. This webinar helps manufacturers—both new and experienced—avoid common pitfalls, choose a sustainable solution, and ensure their machine data remains an asset, not a barrier, to growth.
EAST Session: Abstract : Manufacturers have unique technology needs that require both a robust and extremely stable IT infrastructure. At the EASTEC Conference, part of the Manufacturing Technology Series, CompassMSP will showcase how cutting-edge IT and cybersecurity solutions empower manufacturing businesses to stay connected, secure, and compliant. As regulatory requirements evolve and cyber threats grow, manufacturers need robust technology solutions to streamline operations and safeguard sensitive data. See how industry-specific managed IT and security services can enhance productivity, ensure compliance with industry standards, and fortify manufacturers against cyber risks. Attendees will discover how CMMC service offerings drive efficiency, ensure regulatory compliance, and accelerate growth and productivity, empowering manufacturers to stay competitive and secure in an evolving industry. Significance/Importance : As regulatory requirements evolve and cyber threats grow, manufacturers need robust technology solutions to streamline operations and safeguard sensitive data, including but not limited to CMMC. If you want to keep your business, intellectual property, and customer information safe from cybersecurity risks, the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a best-practices cybersecurity framework every manufacturer should consider to protect their organization. If you are in the defense/DoD supply chain or are considering entering this area, CMMC will be a requirement for all contracts and will affect every contract coming down the line thereafter.

EAST Session: The aerospace manufacturing industry faces significant challenges, including the need for increased efficiency, flexibility, and cost reduction. Join us as we explore a real manufacturing scenario to see how vertical data integration from IT to OT can transform these challenges into opportunities. By connecting information silos throughout the manufacturing process, we enhance traceability and collaboration. Utilizing digital twin technology and smart manufacturing solutions enables virtual testing and optimization, helping validate part programs early on. Automation benefits, such as improved precision and consistency for example through advanced robotics, minimize human error and labor costs while increasing productivity. This integration fosters a data-driven manufacturing environment, driving innovation and competitiveness in aerospace manufacturing.
