The program combines an assembly manufacturing conference and expo with The Quality Show in partnership. Tracks include Automated Assembly, AI in Manufacturing, Continuous Improvement & Operational Excellence, Design, Lean Manufacturing and Workforce Development, Quality Leadership, Culture & Workforce, Quality Systems, Inspection & Compliance, and Soldering. Featured sessions address robotic automation for high-mix, low-volume heat exchanger fabrication; press data and autonomous assembly; AI-driven compliance; shop-floor buy-in and data trust; soft sensors for industrial systems; cost of quality; sensor-driven assembly; machine vision for precision automated metrology; cost engineering; selective soldering; and preparation of the new collar workforce for smart factories. The program also includes an AI in Manufacturing keynote panel with Girish Gopalakrishnan, Roy Devadas, John Platais, and Jung Yoon, plus an Automated Assembly Systems panel with John Sprovieri, Bernard Misiak, Steven Benvenuto, and Tim Tate. Additional programming covers ASQ-MQD subjects including calibration, measurement uncertainty, VDA 5 and AIAG MSA, ISO/IEC 17025, artificial intelligence foundations, internal auditing, and risk management. Embedded guided tours cover fastening and joining technologies, smart assembly automation and robotics, connected factory data and traceability, and quality and process verification. Named presenters include executives, engineers, manufacturing specialists, quality professionals, and technology leaders from General Motors, IBM Supply Chain, ESAB, Stratasys, Milwaukee Tool, ITW, ZF, PPG Industries, Epson Robots, Edgewater Automation, and other manufacturing organizations.
