From Automation to Optimization: Beyond the Factory Floor

On-Demand Webinar: From Automation to Optimization, Beyond the Factory Floor

Efficiency gains do not stop at the shop floor. For manufacturers running engineer-to-order production, the biggest bottlenecks often sit upstream, in engineering and procurement, where parts and pricing data get scattered across PLM, ERP, and file systems. In this session, Patrick Harrigan, VP of Sales at CADDi, sits down with Tim Dorn, VP of Engineering at Amerequip, a custom equipment manufacturer, to talk through how Amerequip tackled exactly that problem.

Dorn shares a practitioner's view of what it took to move off siloed, tribal knowledge dependent workflows and onto a centralized data environment. The conversation covers:

• How Amerequip unified historical parts and pricing data so engineers and procurement teams could find what they needed in minutes, not days
• What onboarding actually looked like, step by step, and how long it took before the team saw results
• How faster access to accurate data changed decisions earlier in the production process, before costly mistakes reached the shop floor

This is a candid look at what implementation involves, from a team that has already gone through it. If you lead engineering or procurement for an ETO manufacturer and are looking past automation for your next source of efficiency, watch the on-demand recording now.
