Agenda

09:30	Arrivals & Breakfast & Welcome
10:00	Delivering Positive Manufacturing Outcomes - Justin Barnes, Head of Advanced Manufacturing, ARKANCE UK With more than 300 years of combined industry experience, ARKANCE UK will share how we work closely with Dormer Pramet and the Autodesk team to help you achieve positive business outcomes, driving improved efficiency, productivity and profitability
10:45	Digital Transformation Workshops Join the session that interests you the most: Track 1: Increase Machining Efficiency & Production Throughput Using Fusion CAM strategies, alongside Dormer Pramet tooling, boosts machining efficiency by maintaining consistent tool engagement and enabling higher feed rates. This combination reduces cycle times, extends tool life, and improves surface finish, resulting in greater throughput and lower cost per part. Track 2: Digitise Factory Operations and Fusion Machine Connect Primary outcomes revolve around achieving greater visibility, efficiency, and data-driven control within manufacturing environments Understand how to: Digitise job cards Reduce waste and cost Shorten lead times Minimise shop maintenance Use real-time dashboards and connected manufacturing
12:15	Lunch Network and meet our partners
