Genesis Systems, Davenport, Iowa: The Transformation and Reinvention of Manufacturing

One of the world’s leading manufacturers of robotic equipment for use on the factory floor, they hold an annual customer event at their main facility in Iowa. This turned out to be my only keynote – so far – delivered at dinner right on the factory floor! My talk took a look at all the trends providing for opportunity in the way we conceive, design and manufacture products. Rapid prototyping and iterative design, 3D printing, Factory 4.0, advanced materials, robotics and robots, and more.
