Day 1

Breaking the Silos: Unifying Factory OT and IT with Snowflake and Cortex AI

Historically trapped in isolated shop-floor systems, Operational Technology (OT) data is finally converging with IT in the Snowflake Data Cloud to drive next-generation manufacturing efficiency. This 45-minute workshop demonstrates how to seamlessly ingest high-frequency IoT and MES data alongside enterprise IT systems to create a single source of truth. Attendees will discover how Snowflake Cortex AI extracts immediate value from this unified data, enabling real-time predictive maintenance, automated anomaly detection, and natural language insights directly on the factory floor.

Automation for the Metal Stamping Industry with Vision Inspection

In recent years customers are requesting automation at the end of Line for stamping presses due to the lack of employees or in hazardous areas with heavy weights. Linear will demonstrate real world solutions using robotics to Auto-Rack or Auto Pack parts at the end of line with accurate part count. Enhancing the end of line, we will provide demonstrations of part inspection with Vision Systems.

3D Inline Metrology: From Dream to Production Reality

Inline 3D metrology is no longer a future concept; it is a production-ready reality. This session reveals how Polyrix Surround 3D Scanning Systems capture complete part geometry in as little as 30 seconds, enabling full traceability and continuous quality improvement without disrupting takt time. Drawing on real-world manufacturing examples across automotive, aerospace, and advanced industrial manufacturing, attendees will leave with practical guidance on integrating inline metrology into new or existing production lines alongside key success metrics including speed, accuracy, reliability, and ROI.
