After five years, Internet of Business' established events for industrial decision-makers adopt a new look, rebranding as Manufacturing X.0 and Supply Chain X.0.


Formerly the Internet of Manufacturing and Supply Chain, the events have always stood out for their ability to present new case studies in successful business change, driven by manufacturing and supply chain leaders' technology adoption. Taking a quality over quantity approach, Internet of Business' technology end user audience has always enjoyed the intimate environment of 300+ attendees - 60% of them working within similar manufacturing and supply chain decision-making roles.

Lucy Ashton, Managing Director, Internet of Business, comments, "The new Manufacturing X.0 and Supply Chain X.0 names better reflect the content the events continue to present on Industry 4.0 and digital transformation plans. Bringing case studies from the executives involved in business strategy and technology initiatives, we continue to provide a place to share knowledge and reach consensus about approaches to managing people, products and processes."

Running May 24-27, 2021, the upcoming Manufacturing X.0 & Supply Chain X.0 USA Virtual Events showcase best practice in meeting business goals through technology adoption and change management.

Attendees have access to three hours of content per day, including two live presentations with audience Q&A, and two live interactive sessions. In addition, registrants can join the MxD Future Factory Tour, which returns for the fifth year with a new focus on OT Security for 2021.

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
