COULD PROGRESS BE AS SIMPLE AS SMART PART REDESIGN? Fabricators are looking for solutions to help them thrive in a digital industry, but disrupters like IIoT and the pandemic have complicated the path to sustainable production. Customer expectations for speed to market, cost and quality have also escalated, along with demands for adding value downstream. Balancing these tasks against the need to earn revenue and position production lines for future profitability is another challenge facing companies. The answer could be as simple as looking at how one approaches part design. Design for Manufacturing (DFM). This session will provide useful tips and tools on what to do when looking to redesign your parts for manufacturing. The presenter will walk you through different options and considerations and provide a takeaway guide with useful tips.
