Workshop I: Is Zero Down Time Possible?
Maintenance Managers, Planners, and Supervisors are looking to increase team efficiency and safety, while decreasing chronic maintenance issues and unscheduled downtime - with the ultimate goal of seeing ZERO unplanned downtime. By focusing on the fundamentals of plant maintenance and equipment reliability we can get closer to that important objective. During this session, you will hear about real-life examples and applications where maintenance personnel proactively prevented redundant asset failures and unplanned downtime, all the while increasing overall safety and resulting in significant cost savings. See which real-world success stories YOU can incorporate into the maintenance goals of YOUR organization!

Workshop II: Preparing Your Workforce for Human Machine Collaboration
Manufacturers need to implement automation to remain competitive. But is your workforce ready for this change? A certain amount of stress always accompanies progress. However, there is a heightened concern about the impact of automation in the workplace. Instead of replacing jobs, the robot of the future is designed and constructed from the outset to work together with humans. Workers and robots are the new team that can now partially automate work that could previously only be done manually. Hear how to successfully transform your workforce to maximize the benefits of robotics in manufacturing processes.
