Software companies are building a new manufacturing stack that includes four layers: ERP, MES, Connected Worker, and AI. Dan McKiernan, principal product manager with Epicor, joins us at the ASSEMBLY Show to talk about the success that arises when these systems work together in a stack rather than a patchwork of tools.

Offline programming eliminates the need to halt production.

We spoke with Rupal Deshmukh, partner for supply chain and strategic operations at Kearney, to learn more about the Supply Chain Navigator report’s findings and how operational leaders can navigate these challenges.

Ben Brakenwagen, account executive with Dirac, sat down with ASSEMBLY Audible to discuss Dirac’s automated work instruction platform, BuildOS, and its role in model-based manufacturing.

LONG BEACH, CA—Galorath Inc. has launched SEERai, a new agentic AI platform engineered to deliver secure, traceable and audit-ready cost, schedule and risk insights for manufacturing, aerospace, defense and IT programs. SEERai converts natural-language project data into structured outputs in a matter of hours.

Cobot sales are expected to grow at a cumulative annual rate of 31 percent over the next five years.

CARSON, CA—The U.S. Air Force has awarded a contract to GrayMatter Robotics to develop an AI-powered robotic system to reduce optical distortion and defects on transparent acrylic and polycarbonate structures.

Imagine an assembly line where each tool monitors how it’s used; errors are detected before they occur; and digital work instructions adjust in real time based on live feedback. 
That concept is now possible with VKS 7.0 digital work instruction software from Visual Knowledge Share Ltd.

U.S. manufacturing executives remain moderately optimistic about the year ahead, despite persistent challenges such as inflation, supply chain disruptions, and tariff pressures. 

Manufacturers can use AI and analytics to base production on real-time consumer demand and feedback.
