In addition to listening to speakers, attendees will be able to interact with numerous sponsors and exhibitors who will showcase their latest products, equipment and services through table-top displays in intimate, dedicated space adjacent to the general session rooms.
“The time is now for an automation technology conference like TASC, where industry specialists will share their own automation strategies, and where shop owners and managers can learn from each other and focus on automation solutions that make sense for their operations,” Donaldson says. “Through Modern Machine Shop’s Top Shops benchmarking data, we already know that this country’s top performing small- and mid-sized shops are automating, although in some cases not at the same levels at larger shops. What’s more clear is that higher levels of automation are associated with higher performance.”
What will TASC offer?
On Oct. 9, TASC will offer facility tours of FACUC and technology accelerator LIFT, as well as an opening cocktail party. Oct. 10 and Oct 11 will include conference sessions with topics relating to automation including an opening keynote address by Kirchner about how to prepare your team for implementing automation.
