WEST Session: A recent MIT study, highlighted by Forbes , found that 95% of corporate AI pilots have failed to produce meaningful results or delivered ROI. There are many challenges and complexities that contribute to these failures, including company-wide strategy, technical system integrations, and internal cultural adoption to AI. As for the successful pilots, they often involve systems that learn, admit uncertainty, and integrate deeply into workflows, focusing on back-office functions where ROI is direct.     This presentation will share lessons learned and successful use cases from the field and reveal the Top 5 focus areas every manufacturer should prioritize to turn AI pilots into ROI generating engines. 

WEST Session: In this session, Randy Eickhoff, CPA, Founder and Head Coach at Acena Consulting, will walk attendees through how innovative manufacturers and product developers can leverage the R&D tax credit to uncover hidden value. Whether you’re developing new processes, improving products, or experimenting with automation, this credit could be a powerful cash generator. Randy will demystify the IRS criteria, share real-world examples, and show you how to avoid common pitfalls in documentation and qualification. You’ll leave with practical insights to help you assess eligibility and maximize savings.

WEST Session: Unexpected breakdowns, rising costs, and limited asset visibility continue to be a challenge for manufacturers, especially as teams face mounting pressure to do more with less – fewer technicians, tighter budgets, and limited time. But with the right technology and a practical approach to reliability, lean teams can shift from fighting fires to building long-term, operational resilience into every layer of production. In this session, we’ll showcase how manufacturers are using modern CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) tools to drive higher uptime, extend asset life, and reduce reactive work – all without needing additional headcount or new equipment. We’ll demonstrate how top performing teams have digitized preventive maintenance schedules, deployed QR code-enabled work orders, and built mobile-first maintenance workflows that keep machines running and teams aligned. Whether you’re still using spreadsheets or looking to get more out of your current system, this session will provide a clear blueprint for building a smart, scalable maintenance program.

WEST Session: Manufacturing field service operations are plagued by inefficiency, reactive responses, and disconnected systems that drain profitability and frustrate customers. Most manufacturers still rely on manual scheduling, disparate software solutions, and limited real-time visibility into field operations, technician status, and equipment performance, resulting in suboptimal routes, missed appointments, and escalating operational costs. This presentation demonstrates how manufacturers are transforming their service operations using ShareCRM's AI-powered, mobile-first field service platform. Attendees will discover specific technologies including intelligent scheduling and dispatch algorithms that optimize resource allocation and technician assignments, AI assistants that use real data to identify and resolve potential issues before they impact customers, and industry-leading mobile applications that empower field service reps to complete jobs efficiently from accepting work orders to delivering parts from their own inventory. The session features real-world implementation strategies showing how manufacturers achieve a single view of the customer throughout the entire sales, service, and marketing lifecycle while connecting teams, processes, and systems with smart, automated workflows. Participants will learn about AI-powered knowledge bases that instantly recognize issues and recommend solutions, customer service analytics that provide holistic team productivity insights, and partner relationship management capabilities that extend operations through dealer and distributor networks. Attendees will leave with actionable insights on implementing connected, intelligent field service solutions that maximize uptime, boost profitability, and deliver delightful customer experiences while transforming reactive service costs into proactive competitive advantages.
