Keynote Address - 3:00pm - FREE to Badged “Attendees”

“Industry 4.0: Four IoT Technology Trends That Will Impact Small to Midsized Manufacturers”In the past decade small to mid-sized manufacturing companies have been unwilling to invest in many of the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies due to poor ROI and unproven results. In the spotlight will be four major technology trends that clearly have the potential to provide significant benefits to companies at costs that deliver compelling returns. Also overviewed will be the competitive advantages that the Early Adopters of these technologies will enjoy and that the Fast Followers will likely miss out on.Presenter - W. Kent Lorenz is the retired Chairman and CEO of Acieta LLC, a provider of advanced industrial automation systems to North American manufacturers specializing in robotic solutions for Material Handling, Assembly, Arc Welding, and Foundry applications with over 4,400 industrial robots installed in North America.

7:30 – 9:30am: Breakfast & Program

The Connections Shaping Your Company’s FutureNext generation manufacturing companies are making connections with other businesses to drive innovation. They are also connecting machines to improve productivity, reacting to connections between economies and markets, and striving to connect with their future workforce.

CEOs from the region’s leading manufacturers will discuss how they make these connections and will share best practices that help their businesses succeed.

Student Day Address - “STEM” Education is Key to New Manufacturing TrendsScience, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM), is not only a prelude to engineering, but also to new trends in manufacturing for the 21st century.

How will our Education system change to convince and educate young people that they are the workforce of the future in manufacturing? How do we introduce them to the new TRENDS IN MANUFACTURING which include Automation with Robotics, Rapid Prototyping with 3D Printing, and Connected Systems with computers for data collection?

This presentation will aim to help the students learn more about these new trends, the changes in technology as it relates to Manufacturing and the variety of Skill Sets that are needed to succeed. Presenter: Dorothy Walker is the daughter of a Tennessee sharecropper and rose from being a Milwaukee Area Technical College welding student to the college’s first female welding instructor and ultimately a dean. Throughout her career, she worked to connect young women to career opportunities, including placing her welding students and partnering with the Girl Scouts and local school districts. Before retiring as dean of the School of Technology and Applied Sciences in July 2019, Walker also partnered with the Wisconsin Department of Corrections and Milwaukee County to help individuals re-entering the community learn much-needed skills.

All students welcome but must call ahead to reserve seating - Call Jill Smart @ 262-370-2073.

NEED SKILLED LABOR? Head for the Resume Rendezvous. You can check out resumes of the competitors for the welding and robotics competition plus others that were dropped off during the show. This will present an excellent opportunity to hire quality skilled labor – maybe even one of the winners of the student competitions!

NEED HELP PUTTING TOGETHER A RESUME? Stop in. Nissen Staffing Continuum will help you create a resume and then print so you can have your own rendezvous too at the Connection Reception with potential employers.

Be sure to ask Nissen Staffing Continuum about their new training facility in Menomonee Falls which teaches welding, fork lift driving and other in-demand manufacturing industry skills.
