EAST Session: Moderated by: Steve Plumb Rather than start with a discussion of all the technologies available in the industrial marketplace, this panel session will start by outlining the primary concerns of manufacturing businesses. By first appealing to what the audience (machining businesses) cares about most at the start, the panel will logically ease into a discussion of how available technologies can help achieve greater outcomes for these businesses…in other words, solutions to the preeminent problems. Among the concerns highlighted at the outset will be improving competitiveness (domestically and globally), throughput (business growth), and yes productivity in the face of the manufacturing skills gap. The panel will be represented by industry leaders who either are dealing with these concerns directly, or those that have a “front row seat” to a variety of companies that seek to survive and thrive. Technologies that will be addressed will likely include automation, robotics, workforce training, machining technology, machine monitoring, software and AI to name a few. The above will be discussed in the first Executive Perspectives panel discussion on Tuesday, followed on Wednesday with another critical topic…cybersecurity.

EAST Session: Abstract : This session explores the growing relevance of Statistical Process Control (SPC) in today’s production environments. We begin by examining the role of real-time data—referred to as the "1st life" of data—captured during the production process, emphasizing the key capabilities, expectations, and benefits of a real-time SPC system. Moving beyond its initial use, we explore the "2nd life" of data, transitioning it from a compliance and process control tool to a valuable resource for advanced analysis. This includes its role in problem-solving, root cause analysis, and predictive applications such as modeling and simulations. The session highlights how leveraging both real-time and historical data can enhance decision-making and drive continuous improvement in manufacturing processes. Significance/Importance : Minitab surveys have found that most Statistical Process Control users, approximately 65%, have SPC in place to demonstrate their ability to meet specification limits, using SPC as a compliance tool. Our results also show that only 4% of manufacturers using SPC have achieved manufacturing excellence, meaning that they leverage process understanding and ensure predictable output. The session highlights maximizing the benefit of your real-time SPC data, growing from a compliance tool to a true continuous improvement system. We will explore leveraging SPC data to enhance decision-making and to drive continuous improvement in manufacturing processes.

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.
