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: Equipment manufacturers face rising competition, hardware commoditization, and shrinking margins. The solution? Innovating with IoT, AI, and cloud services to enhance equipment value and create new revenue streams. By connecting hardware to the cloud via wireless sensors, manufacturers can collect real-time data on health and usage. This enables value-added services like condition monitoring, asset tracking, and predictive maintenance—paving the way for Equipment as a Service (EaaS). While full servitization is a long-term goal, the journey brings immediate benefits: competitive differentiation, stronger customer relationships, and recurring revenue. However, 75% of these projects fail or face long delays, and many manufacturers struggle to sell software-based solutions. In this talk, we’ll break down the challenges of integrating IoT and AI—and how to overcome them. With over a decade of experience, we’ll highlight common pitfalls and share success stories from industry leaders using a “Buy and Build” approach. You’ll leave with actionable strategies to accelerate your servitization journey and maximize equipment value. Significance/Importance: If you're standing still, you're falling behind. And staying ahead means innovating. Unfortunately, 75% of IoT projects fail, or drag on for years. Don't be another statistic. This talk will leave you with actionable strategies to accelerate and succeed on your servitization journey.

EAST Session: Industrial AI is more accessible than ever. This technology, long viewed as “too complex” to implement, is now a practical productivity accelerator for manufacturers. The complexity misconception stems, in part, from the thinking that integration requires tearing out current systems. However, the reality is that it’s easily compatible with most legacy systems. By layering Industrial AI, ML, and other complementary tools on top of this existing data infrastructure, manufacturers reveal new improvement areas and free key resources to focus on the work that dictates long-term success. In this session, you’ll see how Industrial AI turns today’s operational challenges into an opportunity, a springboard for growth, and a means to provide your people with essential solutions. With capabilities like real‑time data contextualization and prescriptive recommendations, Industrial AI helps: - Make smarter decisions faster - Deliver continuous, measurable value - Scale subject matter expertise enterprise-wide Join us to learn how Industrial AI amplifies your workforce, maximizes the potential of your operations, and moves it forward faster than ever.

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.
