Manufacturing Technology and IMTS 2024

Michael Thiessen, Stephen LaMarca

Get ready for a high-energy discussion about manufacturing technology and IMTS 2024. Our host, Michael Thiessen, is joined by Stephen LaMarca, senior technology analyst at the Association for Manufacturing Technology (AMT), the group behind IMTS. As expected, they talk about why you should attend IMTS 2024, including some of the unexpected companies you’ll see there (e.g., Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon Web Services). Outside of that, Michael and Steve talk about:

  • Automation:
    • Progression since 2018
    • Various uses
    • Current and future impact on manufacturing 
  • Building blocks to the future: automation, AI, digital twins
    • Their role in manufacturing (hint: it's NOT to replace workers)
    • Their impact on today and tomorrow's workforce
  • Simulation: why you should be using it
  • The AMT Test Bed: what it is and why they have it 

Whether or not you plan to attend IMTS 2024, if you are in manufacturing, you don’t want to miss this energetic discussion.
