Developing the Devices for the Shrinking Size of Healthcare
Healthcare is getting smaller. That is, the technologies and devices being used to facilitate care, diagnosis, and treatment are shrinking in size. As a result, medical device manufacturers need to determine how best to accommodate this trend. Whether fabricating smaller parts, having less space in which to fit the necessary components, or adjusting production techniques to accommodate new outputs, miniaturization impacts almost everyone. With this in mind, panelists will discuss how this trend is affecting manufacturing and share best practices to help ensure accuracy and repeatability without significant increases in costs or time to market.

AI and Automation on the Production Floor
Most organizations recognize artificial intelligence (AI) can help improve processes and procedures, but still remain uncertain on how to implement it effectively. As a result, there are still reservations about incorporating it into a company’s manufacturing protocols. The panel for this session will attempt to alleviate common fears with using AI, eliminate misconceptions, and provide early steps for adoption. Targeting low-hanging fruit areas, the panel will offer best practices and important considerations that must be addressed before moving further into adoption.
