The session is scheduled for the first day of the event, Tuesday, November 6.
Offered as part of FABTECHs Smart Manufacturing session, Carrs presentation will explain how digital transformation in manufacturing is a critical element in realigning technology and business processes. Attendees will learn about common business drivers and hear real-world scenarios that describe the journey to digital transformation for manufacturers and distributors.
Technological advancements like the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) have disrupted the manufacturing sector and demand new levels of data integration. Transforming businesses to leverage the benefits of IIoT will ultimately prove to be a competitive differentiator for manufacturers ready to adopt them vs. slow adopting competitors.

"Digital transformation presents a tremendous business opportunity for manufacturers when properly approached in a strategic manner," stated Ultra Consultants CEO and Founder Jeff Carr.

Featured Product
PickerPal Products provides full case pick module protection to protect employees from falls.
PickerPal has two independent, spring-loaded arms that are self closing, which is preferred by OSHA. 3 arms are used when a kick plate is required. OSHA states that when an employee is within 4' of the edge, the area changes from a pallet position to a, "walking/working surface," which requires a kick plate or a third arm. The spring-loaded arms open on contact with the loaded skid and close on their own as products are off-loaded. This design provides multiple benefits: • Top arms close as product is removed, creating a safety gate, and the third arm closes when the empty pallet is removed. • Empty pallet positions are no longer a safety hazard. • Each are is easily replaced without removing the entire assembly.
