Seminar Schedule WITS – Wichita Industrial Trade Show
One of the reasons we have the WITS Show is for the exchange of ideas. At pasts WITS Shows, we have had knowledgeable speakers on a variety of subjects . It is a good place to see the future and get your questions answered. All seminars are free.
All the seminars are now upstairs, take the stairs in the registration area and go upstairs and go North to Rooms 201 A and Room 201B th e seminars which were down stairs in 101A are now upstairs in 201A and like wise the seminars which were in 101B are now upstairs in 201B.

TOPIC – Recent Advances in Deburring Technology
Presenter : LaRoux Gillespie, Dr. Eng, FSME, PE, CMfgE, Manufacturing Consultant
Topic of Discussion:
Mr. Gillespie will blend his study of over 2,000 recent publications on deburring technology with his previous research and application of burr prevention, burr minimization, deburring, and deburring economics. This presentation is focused on what engineers and shop owners can do in efforts to reduce deburring costs on challenging products. This is a broad based presentation covering details of his work and others on over 126 different deburring processes, and to how to minimize burr issues.

ALLIED OIL
TOPIC – Predictive and Preventative Maintenance
Presenter : Joshua L. Roberts
Topic of Discussion: Oil analysis is a routine activity for analyzing oil health, oil contamination and machine wear. The purpose of an oil analysis program is to verify that a lubricated machine is operating according to expectations. When an abnormal condition or parameter is identified through oil analysis, immediate actions can be taken to correct the root cause or to mitigate a developing failure.

ACIETA
IS NOW THE TIME TO GET A COBOT (Automation & Robots)
Presenter – JAKE CORNING
Technological advances in collaborative robots for industrial manufacturing have made implementation and operation faster and easier than ever before. Jake Corning from Acieta will discuss two real Midwestern job shops whose recent steps into automation.
Topic of Discussion:
During this presentation, you’ll learn how to:
1. Identify signs that you need to add a cobot to your operation.
2. Debunk robot myths
3. Calculate ROI for a cobot
TUESDAY
5:30 pm Room 201A Tues. Oct. 26 UPSTAIRS Room Change

Acieta
Adapt your Manufacturing Process: Do More With Less
Nick Cowell , Regional Automation Manager for Acieta
Topic of Discussion:
Manufacturers today face a major paradox: high demand for faster lead time and a dwindling workforce. Integrating robotic automation into your manufacturing process frees up floor space and increases productivity, all with fewer workers. Acieta will expand on the benefits of robotic automation and how to choose the right robotics integrator. Mark will share real-world examples of how automation has helped Acieta customers address labor shortages, increase capacity, and position their business for future growth.
Key takeaway point:
How do you set yourself apart from other companies to attract and keep good workers? Hire a robot to do the dirty, dull and repetitive stuff.

JR Automation
TOPIC – AUTOMATED NUTPLATE INSTALLATION SYSTEM – SmartAttach for the Aerospace Industry
Presenter : Randy Rounkles
Topic of Discussion:
Within the manufacturing process of an average commercial aircraft, tens of thousands of nutplates are assembled by hand, making it very laborious. JR Automation saw an opportunity to improve this process by introducing automation. The SmartAttach™️ automated cell was developed for the aerospace industry to automate the nutplate attachment process, while providing advanced machine analytics.
