MetalForming magazine and the Precision Metalforming Association are excited to host an informative forum on Industry 4.0 applications for metal formers and fabricators, and a tour of some of the industry’s leading ERP software systems.
Day one features presentations on Industry 4.0 applications and a networking reception with attendees, speakers and sponsors. Day two features shootout sessions that provide attendees with an in-depth software demonstration from four leading suppliers, and users will participate in lively group discussions designed to address any questions regarding software features and functionality.
Topics to be covered:
Who Should Attend?
The event is designed for executives, engineers and IT professionals working in small to midsized manufacturing companies.
What Have Past Attendees Have to Say
“I would definitely recommend this event to others, especially if you are looking to buy an ERP system within the next 6 months.”
“It was great having all of the sponsors involved in manufacturing software in one place. You are able to go around and ask questions to all of the companies and determine which software is right for your company.”
