SUMMARY:MD&M West 2026: Diving Deeper into Lean and Smart Manufacturing Synergies
DESCRIPTION:Lean manufacturing principles have played a significant role in driving efficiency across organizations through their emphasis on cost reduction\, waste elimination\, and THE customer. These principles have driven continuous improvement initiatives for many manufacturers. \nToday we see a wave of Industry 4.0 and Smart Manufacturing technologies being implemented by leading manufacturers. Does that mean that Lean principles are no longer needed? The opposite is true. \nThe intersection of Lean and Digital has been coined “Digital Lean” and we will discuss examples of how this powerful combination of timeless lean principles and the latest digital technologies is reducing waste and variability in manufacturing processes. Digital lean isn’t a separate set of lean principles but a powerful enhancement of existing methodologies. Leveraging Smart Manufacturing technologies\, Digital Lean techniques deliver precise\, timely\, and detailed operational insights\, elevating the application of lean principles. \nFacilitators: \n\nConrad Leiva\, VP Ecosystem and Workforce at CESMII – The Smart Manufacturing Institute\nTim Stuart\, President at Visual Decisions\n\nTopics covered include: \n\nMindset and Principles behind Digital Lean Manufacturing\nHow Digital Lean techniques improve:\nDecision-Making\nResource Use\nProduction Flow\nProduct Quality\nProblem Solving\nPutting it all into Practice\n\nAnaheim Convention Center\, Anaheim\, CA | Monday February 2\, 9-12:30pm\, Rm 206AB

As an exhibitor\, you’ll have the opportunity to: \n\nGenerate Awareness: Reach a broad audience and build trust by showcasing your sustainability solutions.\nDemonstrate Expertise: Highlight your innovations in eco-friendly materials\, smart manufacturing technology\, and energy optimization alongside industry leaders.\nBuild Relationships: Connect face-to-face with qualified prospects to cultivate lasting partnerships and drive your sales pipeline forward.\n\n___________________________________________________________ \nMonday\, February 3\, 2025\nMD&M Workshop: Smart Manufacturing – Why It Matters and How to Achieve It: Learn More\n203AB: 02/03/2025\, 9:00AM – 12:30PM \nTransform your manufacturing operations at the Smart Manufacturing Workshop. This hands-on training goes beyond the buzzwords\, offering clear and actionable strategies to help you integrate advanced technologies and outpace your competition. \nIn today’s dynamic market\, Smart manufacturing is shaping the future of the industry\, offering tools to significantly reduce downtime\, optimize productivity\, and cut down costs. This workshop provides the insights and actionable steps needed to begin your journey and prepare for the challenges ahead. \nWhether you’re a manufacturing leader aiming to improve results or an engineer ready to implement innovative solutions\, you’ll gain the knowledge to lead your organization toward smarter\, more effective manufacturing. Discover the strategies\, tools\, and first steps to implement smart manufacturing and position your organization for success in 2025 and beyond. \nConrad Leiva\, VP Ecosystem and Workforce Education at CESMII \n___________________________________________________________ \nTuesday\, February 4\, 2025\nVisit the CESMII Booth #721: Learn More\n\n___________________________________________________________ \nKeynote: Industrial Sustainability: An Untapped Business Advantage: Learn More\nLocation: Sustainability Stadium\, 10:00AM – 11:00AM \nRegulations are why you came. Cost-savings are why you will stay. Discover the symbiotic relationship between sustainability and profitability. Explore how automation and technology can enhance plant efficiency\, trim waste\, optimize resources\, and reduce your carbon footprint. You’ll hear about the new industrial identity emerging in the US – unlocking new levels of productivity\, growth and competitiveness all contributing toward creating better industrial workplaces. Join us as we host a panel of US manufacturers to discuss unlocking the potential of sustainability for your business that will not only satisfy stakeholders but also elevate your competitive advantage. \nGreg Tink\, Director of Industrial Digital Transformation at Schneider Electric\nJim Davis\, UCLA Vice Provost Emeritus\, CESMII Program Oversight & Principal Investigator at CESMII\nModerated by Andre Marino SVP Industrial Automation Business at Schneider Electric \n___________________________________________________________ \nThe Intersection of Smart and Sustainable Manufacturing: Learn More \nLocation: Smart Factory Hub\, 1:25 PM – 2:10 PM \nThere are many ways to improve sustainability in manufacturing from changing light bulbs to using better sources of energy. However\, a stronger recipe for Sustainable Manufacturing is to combine these efforts with Smart Manufacturing and Digital Lean techniques to not only help the business achieve strategic outcomes\, but also improve efficiency and reduce waste of resources. \nIn this session we discuss how the future of manufacturing requires combining the efforts of Lean\, Sustainable\, and Smart Manufacturing to go beyond the manual reporting solutions and leverage techniques like IIoT sensors and Smart Manufacturing platforms to automate data collection and provide all the information insights needed to run operations efficiently. \nA sustainable factory creates goods in an ecologically friendly and resource-efficient manner. Advanced process control and optimization is what truly makes a system “smart” by going beyond the reporting dashboards and establishing proactive practices that use artificial intelligence (AI) to automate routine decisions and trigger action on alarming trends or non-routine situations. We will share examples of how manufacturers are using AI algorithms to optimize processes and save energy in multiple industries. \nConrad Leiva\, VP Ecosystem and Workforce Education at CESMII \n__________________________________________________________\nWhat Must Be True? Enabling Smart Manufacturing through Technology Interoperability: Learn More\nLocation: 205AB\, 2:15 PM – 3:00 PM \nTo build systems designed to evolve and scale\, we need a Smart Manufacturing Strategy rooted in established standards\, collaboration\, and technology reusability. CESMII is a Manufacturing USA institute focused on driving Smart Manufacturing innovation and adoption. In this session\, learn what a Smart Manufacturing Architecture must be capable of to avoid data silos and stovepipe architectures\, and enable modern\, portable\, and usable interoperable SM Solutions. We’ll showcase CESMII’s work to enable technology interoperability\, and how to adopt these best practices in your enterprise. \nOlivia Morales\, Senior Solutions Architect at CESMII\n___________________________________________________________\nVisit the Schneider Electric Booth #302 for Happy Hour 2:00PM-5:00PM\n___________________________________________________________
