Keynote: Amsted Rail, St. Louis, MO – Additive, Materials, IOT and Manufacturing

What do you do when you are a foundry-based manufacturing organization with 125 year old processes involving metal furnaces? Align to the future, by adopting 3 pillars for innovation – lighter materials driven by science, 3D printing, and connectivity within products for predictive diagnostics. This manufacturer of ‘rail bogeys’ – the undercarriage of rail cars – knows that it needs to work hard to compete in a global economy, and adopted this line of thinking to accelerate into the future. They booked me for a keynote on these trends to kick off a senior management leadership meeting that was designed to get them started.
