Maximizing Manufacturing Productivity and Efficiency with Industrial AI

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.

4D Technology Corp

EAST Exhibitor: 4D Technology designs and manufactures surface gauges, surface roughness profilers and other metrology systems, for accurate measurement of precision surfaces. 4D products use patented technology to bring high resolution measurement to production environments, even in the presence of severe vibration and turbulence. The 4D InSpec Surface Gauge is the first handheld, high resolution instrument for non-contact measurement of surface features and defects. With Portable, affordable, and easy to use, the 4D InSpec puts high resolution measurement on the factory floor, in machine shops and deployed environments. Measure pits, scratches, nicks, dents, bumps, rivet depth, dot peen depth, etc., from 0.1 to 100 mils deep. The 4D InSpec is far more repeatable and accurate than visual comparison techniques often used for defect inspection. Unlike high-end metrology systems it is rugged, flexible and affordable, to measure features on a wide range of part geometries, even on curved surfaces, on blind features or inside of bores.
