There is a lot more to justifying a capital investment than the purchase price of a machine tool. Many other factors have a big impact on the effectiveness and profitability of a new machine. This presentation will demonstrate how you can accurately justify making an investment in new equipment that will yield the lowest piece cost, and maximize profits. In order to make a wise investment, one must understand the costs involved. These costs include, the tangible and intangible benefits, the cost of not making the investment, and how to accurately calculate the payback.

This year’s program focuses on continuous improvement in manufacturing operations – from improving productivity, part quality, and overall equipment effectiveness, to developing a stable, competent workforce. With this variety of topics and tracks, IMTS 2016 Conferences can help you focus on finding solutions to the manufacturing challenges you may face as well as growing your knowledge in this fast-changing industry.
When you register to attend the IMTS 2016 Conferences you are providing yourself the opportunity to network and expand your knowledge through interactions with peers and experts throughout this 4-day conference, which runs concurrently with IMTS 2016 – one of the largest industrial trade shows in the world. Opportunities abound for you to learn about the challenges others have faced and overcome, and you may even relate to some of those scenarios within your operations. Engagement with those who have struggled with similar situations is an ideal way to educate yourself for developing a plan for improvement.
Now that you have the IMTS 2016 Conference Guide in hand, you’ll find it is your path to the making improvements where they are needed. On the following pages are details of each days’ schedule – separated into five tracks with specific focuses for each one, and more about the presenters and the companies they represent.
After reviewing the following pages, please don’t forget to flip over the IMTS 2016 Conference Guide to review the second event we are helping coordinate, the Integrated Industries Conference, taking place Sept. 13, 2016. This one-day conference ties in closely with technology on the show floor, and features motion, drive & automation; surface technology; Internet of things, and Industry 4.0.
Registration is now open for all conferences – www.IMTS.com/conference– and we hope you will join us for these educational opportunities while attending IMTS 2016.
Fluid power is a workhorse of the U.S. economy. It is a cross-cutting technology of choice for dozens of industries and hundreds of applications. Pneumatics and hydraulics continue to be a key component in the manufacturing process.
Fluid power systems consume significant amounts of energy, and increases in overall energy efficiency are possible through the adoption of best practices and focused R&D programs. Organized by the National Fluid Power Association (NFPA), the Fluid Power Conference is new to the lineup this year. At this one-of-a-kind event, you will hear from industry experts on how to adapt, optimize your fluid power components, and maximize energy conservation.
The NFPA is a trade association. Its members include more than 340 manufacturers of fluid power systems and components, fluid power distributors, suppliers to the fluid power industry, educators and researchers. NFPA’s U.S. and multinational members work cooperatively in advancing hydraulic and pneumatic technology through the association’s many programs and initiatives.
