SUMMARY:AI in Manufacturing Facilities: A Discussion about the Future
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging conversation about AI and Manufacturing!\nFor decades\, automation was a “big player” game requiring massive volumes\, six-figure integration budgets\, and dedicated roboticists. For the average Bay Area job shop\, the rigid nature of traditional robotics meant that automation stopped as soon as the part changed. This talk moves beyond the hype of ChatGPT to explore Physical AI: the integration of advanced software and “Foundation Models” that allow hardware to sense\, plan\, and react to production changes in real time. We will break down how small-to-medium shops are now using software-driven systems to automate 20-piece runs\, eliminate the “reprogramming tax\,” and keep spindles turning without needing an on-site robotics engineer. From quick changeovers in CNC tending and press brake operations to AI tools for instant quoting and automated CAM\, attendees will walk away with a practical roadmap for implementing cost-effective technology that augments their existing talent and protects their margins in a high-precision market. \nTrinity Robotics431 Nelo St\,Santa Clara\, CA 95054 \nMike Appio serves as the Chair of Manufacturing Instruction at De Anza College. With extensive experience in advanced manufacturing processes and technical education\, he is dedicated to preparing students for successful careers in the industry. Mike is known for his hands-on teaching approach\, commitment to workforce development\, and leadership in fostering innovation within the college’s manufacturing programs. \n \nAlex Huckstepp from Uptool Co-Founder and CCO. A recognized expert in manufacturing technology\, Alex has repeatedly led commercial strategy at category-defining manufacturing  startups including Machina Labs\, ARRIS\, Digital Alloys\, and Carbon. He has partnered with leading OEMs across aerospace\, defense\, automotive\, energy\, and industrial to scale new manufacturing technologies. Alex holds a BS in Mechanical Engineering and MS in Product Development Engineering from the University of Southern California. \n \nChristine Holly Ngo is the Vice President of Operations & Business Development at Silicon Valley Elite Manufacturing\, a precision CNC machining company serving the medical\, aerospace\, semiconductor\, and advanced technology sectors. She brings hands-on leadership experience in shop operations and business development within a modern manufacturing environment. \nChristine holds an MBA and is also studying at Harvard Business School for an Executive Education program. She serves as a Board Member of the Association of Manufacturers Bay Area (AMBayArea) and as the Bay Area Chapter Lead for Women in Manufacturing\, where she supports industry collaboration. \nShe is a strong advocate for the use of AI\, automation\, and emerging technologies to improve productivity\, strengthen domestic supply chains\, and support the reshoring of manufacturing to the United States. Christine is also the host of the Making Things Fun\, Cool & Sexy podcast\, which highlights innovation and leadership in American manufacturing. \n \nVivek Srivatsa has 10 years in robotics and automation\, focusing on AI software for manufacturing. A UC-Berkeley mechanical engineer\, he worked on Apple’s car project\, then drove automation growth at Igus\, a German polymer manufacturer. At Vicarious (acquired by Alphabet’s Intrinsic)\, he deployed AI automation solutions. For 3 years at Intrinsic\, he’s commercialized physical AI software\, helping technology companies\, machine shops\, and manufacturers access robotics and AI technology. \n \n \nDownload Flyer \nRegister
