KEYNOTE : Dismantling the myths: The real ROI (and reality) of AI

10:00 - 10:50 AM

West Building W193-B

The promise of AI robotics in manufacturing has long been out of reach for millions of businesses, especially in contract manufacturing and fabrication. For too long, the barrier to advanced automation has been built on complexity, needing large capital investments and specialized expertise.

Join Stefan Nusser, Chief Product & Commercial Officer, as he reveals how industrial-grade, AI-powered robotic software is empowering machine shops of all sizes to tap ino the incredible productivity power of intelligently-adaptive robotics, right on the shop floor. Seamlessly integrated, no robotic expertise needed. 

Moving beyond theory, Stefan will shine a light on the realities of integrating AI-powered automation into your existing and new solutions. With a focus on machine tending workflows, he will share real-world insights from Intrinsic customers, and their customers, who have invested in next generation AI solutions to improve efficiency and flexibility in never-before-possible ways.

You will learn about AI in practical and relevant-to-reality ways that change the way you think about building, hiring, and deploying next generation solutions. Learn why this new era of automation is quickly becoming straight forward to integrate, more affordable, and ready to transform the way millions of businesses can operate and grow.

BOOTH TALK : The shift in AI-powered automation: Bringing robotic sorting to high-mix production

11:15 - 11:45am

North Building, Level 3, Booth 236233

For decades, deploying robotics in sheet metal fabrication has been bottlenecked by rigid, time-consuming manual programming, making automation impractical for high-mix, low-volume production. AI is changing that trend, and quickly, with some companies making bold investments in unlocking never-before-possible value for their teams and customers. Today, TRUMPF Machine Tools is building next generation solutions with AI and Intrinsic, shifting from rigid programming to intelligent, software-enabled flexibility. 

In this booth talk, Simon Lapeyry, Head of Revenue at Intrinsic and Dr. Ralph Lange, Head of Robotics at TRUMPF Machine Tools, showcase how TRUMPF integrates Intrinsic Intelligence into the SortMaster Vision.

Ralph Lange, Head of Robotics, TRUMPF Machine Tools

BOOTH TALK : The machine shop of the future: Overcoming high-mix CNC automation challenges

12:00 - 12:30 PM

North Building, Level 3, Booth 236233

Join Intrinsic, Trinity Robotics Automation, and featured machine shop leaders for a fireside chat on solving the high-mix automation challenge. We’ll discuss how implementing modular, AI-enabled CNC machine tending solutions can substantially reduce setup times and unlock reliable autonomous production. Hear directly from real machine shops about how they have approached AI robotics integration, how it supports their team day to day, and what it means for the way they think about growth.

Host:
Vivek Srivatsa, Sales Account Executive, Intrinsic

Guest:
Nick Tonti, National Sales Manager, Trinity Robotics Automation
David Liu, Founder & CEO, finalREV

BOOTH TALK : Achieving zero-touch high-mix production: AI-powered tool-changing for CNC tending in action

2:30 - 3:00 PM

North Building, Level 3, Booth 236233

Why do most automation cells fail when batch sizes shrink? In high-mix production, machine spindles sit idle while operators handle frequent changeovers, reprogramming, and manual gripper swaps. Discover how Okuma, a top-tier CNC manufacturer leverages intelligent, AI-enabled tool-changing robotics to solve this bottleneck and drive unprecedented spindle productivity for their customers.

Host:
Cercilia Cheng, Senior Account Executive, Intrinsic

Guest:
Simon Schneider, Director of Automation, Okuma Factory Automation
