Manufacturers converged at the SMX to explore digital technologies including AI and robotics, driving efficiency, and innovation. Highlights included AI bot "Murray," VR simulations, strategies for successful automation, and fun networking.

Supply chain orchestration. Aussie brick-laying robot truck. Physical AI sensors. Royalberry PI. 3D printing with resin stinks.

Active intelligence is one part commitment and one part consistency. It may not get the attention of the other AI, but it is likely more important to your success for the foreseeable future.

Even if ChatGPT is a little dumb, it is the first entry into commercial AI. AMT sees artificial intelligence as a central part of manufacturing’s future, so staying relevant is vital.

FusionGPT. More warehouse humanoids. Aerospace coalition ensures integrity. Digital twins for... marketing? 3D printed speaker enclosure.

ChemGPT. Terminator T-1000 IRL. 3D printed logic modules. A new occupational category. Manual versus automatic CNC.

From the busy show floor full of next-gen technology to the packed speaker sessions, a congenial and confident vibe flowed through the Northeast’s largest manufacturing event.

Willy Wonka’s factory of the future. NAM’s fun facts about the manufacturing industry. The fastest running robot. Boeing’s new AM facility. Dassault Systèmes identifies key skills for sustainable innovation in manufacturing.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can be found all around us, even in places you weren’t expecting. AMT Board Chairman looks at four places AI is in plain sight and encourages us to think about how AI could work in any shop or manufacturing facility.

Artificial intelligence (AI), machine vision, and sensors are bringing gains in flexibility and efficiency to the movement of parts in facilities and how exoskeletons are increasing worker endurance in repetitive physical tasks.
