Speaker at WEST: Douglas Orantes, Sales Manager, Aero Bending Company

WEST Session: This presentation will explore the technical challenges of manufacturing complex tube geometries, including tight-radius and compound bends, which are critical in today’s aerospace applications. Presenters will demonstrate how in-house capabilities such as welding, machining, fixture design, and chemical processing streamline production and reduce overall lead times. Attendees will gain practical insight into integrating advanced bending technologies with digital data control systems to improve accuracy and repeatability. The session will also highlight how strategic investments such as developing in-house chemical processing enhance supply chain resilience, reduce risk, and improve schedule reliability. Case studies from aerospace programs will show how design collaboration, cost-down initiatives, and dedicated planning drive consistent improvements in product quality, efficiency, and delivery performance.

WEST Session: This session will explore the transformative potential of industrial CT technology to revolutionize quality control in manufacturing and product development. Attendees will learn how CT enables faster, more accurate inspections, improves defect detection, and reduces waste while accelerating innovation and ensuring product reliability. We will examine the challenges of adopting these systems, including cost, workflow integration, and training, and share best practices for successful implementation across industries. In addition, we will highlight the role of automated inspection systems, their integration with complementary technologies, and what the future of digital quality control holds for organizations seeking a sustainable competitive edge in manufacturing.

WEST Session: Things are changing quickly. Five years ago, we were telling welders to learn the code, now we're telling coders to learn to weld. How can manufacturers, who live and die by process reliability and scalability take advantage of tools that can't seem to do simple addition reliably. As the saying goes, 'there's no such thing as a bad tool, only the wrong tool for the job'. We're about to witness a step change in the adoption of true continuous improvement methodologies, and most people don't even see it coming.

WEST Session: Manufacturing is undergoing rapid digital transformation—driven by predictive maintenance, AI-driven insights, and smart factories. Yet IT/OT convergence is not achieved in strategy documents; it is lived daily through remote access, where people, vendors, and data cross into critical environments. This presentation explores the unique challenges CISOs and OT teams face—legacy patching debt, vendor access sprawl, ransomware pressure, and compliance demands—and why secure OT remote access is the essential bridge to efficiency, resilience, and productivity. Through industry case studies, we’ll examine how leaders are standardizing connectivity, reducing downtime costs, and enabling AI-driven operations—while ensuring security never falls behind transformation.
