SUMMARY:Manufacturing Reimagined: Crisis Workarounds: Alternate Materials\, Product Redesign\, & Remanufacturing
DESCRIPTION:When life throws you lemons\, you make lemonade. But when life throws you a pandemic\, what do you do? For manufacturers\, you have to figure out how to deal with supplier issues and changing market requirements. This could mean redesigning your product to utilize different materials or address new customer needs\, or it could mean you have to reuse and remanufacture components in order to meet demand. The current manufacturing landscape is extremely dynamic\, and developing some product workarounds can help navigate the crisis. \nRegister to Attend\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nManufacturing Reimagined is a series of webinars and workshops to help manufacturers manage the challenges created by COVID-19\, emerge from the crisis more resilient and adaptable\, and prepare for future emergencies. \nThese virtual training and educational opportunities include topics such as emergency preparedness\, supply chain utilization during crisis\, cybersecurity and digitization\, equipment strategies for manufacturing resiliency\, and disaster recovery.

SUMMARY:Rensselaer to Host 9th Annual National Manufacturing Day
DESCRIPTION:Virtual event will allow high school students and educators to explore critical role of manufacturing\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how a nimble and innovative manufacturing sector can address some of humanity’s most pressing and emergent needs — from the production of masks and shields to the biomanufacturing of therapeutics. \n\nBeginning on Monday\, November 2\, high school students from across the region will have an opportunity to explore some of the wide-ranging potentials of manufacturing during the 9th Annual National Manufacturing Day celebration at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. \n\nDue to the current pandemic\, students will be transported to the Rensselaer campus and local manufacturing facilities through virtual field trips during a week-long event that ends with a virtual panel discussion Friday\, November 6. \n\n“Each year we look forward to welcoming students to Rensselaer’s beautiful campus and the state-of-the-art facilities\, and sharing with them our passion and expertise in advanced manufacturing\,” said Shekhar Garde\, Dean of the School of Engineering at Rensselaer. “This year is especially important because the global pandemic has underscored the importance of applying science and engineering to everything we do\, including manufacturing solutions from PPEs to therapeutics and vaccines.” \n\nDuring one of the virtual tours\, students and educators will have an opportunity to see the Manufacturing Innovation Learning Lab (MILL) at Rensselaer\, where staff have been manufacturing critical face shields for the protection of frontline health care workers. \n\n“The pandemic has caused us to rethink the way we use and share our resources\,” said Sam Chiappone\, who is leading the face shield manufacturing effort at Rensselaer as the director of the MILL. “This is a great example of how resilient and flexible manufacturing can respond to immediate needs and contribute to the common good.” \n\nParticipants will also have the chance to virtually visit Simmons Machine Tool\, Ross Valve\, Ross Precision Machining\, or Industrial Tool & Die\, where they will get an up-close look at various manufacturing machines and processes\, and learn how these local companies have adapted to meet the needs of modern manufacturing. Students and educators will be provided with questions to reflect upon during each of the two tours. \n\nQuestions that students come up with throughout the virtual experiences can be shared on Friday\, November 6 at 9 or 10:30AM during two live virtual panel discussions with Rensselaer undergraduate and graduate engineering students\, and representatives from the local manufacturing companies they virtually toured. Reporters are also invited to virtually attend either panel discussion. \n\n“While the pandemic poses many challenges\, this virtual National Manufacturing Day event allows us to offer this educational opportunity to an unlimited number of students without\ngeographical constraints\,” said Elizabeth Herkenham\, the education outreach director for the School of Engineering at Rensselaer. \n\nThe Rensselaer National Manufacturing Day celebration is being presented by the MILL\, the Rensselaer School of Engineering Educational Outreach Department\, and Multimedia Services at Rensselaer. \n\nEducators who would like to register for their class to participate can do so before Wednesday\, November 4 by contacting School of Engineering Outreach Department at soeoutreach@rpi.edu. \n  \nLEARN MORE HERE>>

SUMMARY:Moving Manufacturing Production from Offshore to Domestic Webinar
DESCRIPTION:When a company decides to return production of an item from an international location to the United States\, there are many factors to take into account before manufacturing can begin. \nSome top level executives may think they can call to “Move production from China to the US!” and make the change quickly. In reality\, there is considerable engineering effort\, tooling and assembly expenses\, and time required to move production from a global producer to a U.S. production facility. \nThe primary focus is the need to redesign the product\, or at least significant aspects of the product. Moving production back to the U. S. highlights global differences in: \n\nProduct specifications\nLabor practices\nWork preferences\nRequirements for ergonomic assembly\nFactory practices\nWork ethic\nSupply chain logistics\n\nThe resulting impact to the product involves product cost\, methods of assembly\, regulatory agencies\, available materials and fabrication techniques\, different material and labor costs\, and different warranty and field reliability impact. \nJoin IMEC and Advanced Automations to learn the differences in producing domestic vs. international\, reasons for the differences\, and how to turn the return to domestic production into an opportunity for a better and more profitable product. \nCost: FREE!  A recording of the webinar will be available for download at the IMEC Coronavirus: Update page. \nPresenter: Errin Gnadinger\, Founder and Chief Technology Officer  |  Advanced Automations\, LLC \nContact Name: Emily Lee |  Contact Phone: 608-445-4905  |  Contact Email: elee@imec.org \n  \nREGISTER HERE>>\n  \nUnable to attend the live webinar?  A recording of the webinar will be available for download at the IMEC Coronavirus: Update page. \nPresented in partnership with: \n\n  \nPresented with support from: \n \n  \nREGISTER HERE>>\n  \n  \n
