Spray finishing as a video game?
The hands-on Virtual Reality Spray Finishing Demonstration is too cool to miss. Virtual reality spray painting is a tool to improve operator technique. Painters can be trained virtually with no mess, waste or reject parts. Participants sign up for one of six demonstration times.
Lean Manufacturing for the Finishing Industry
The TC-CCAI annual symposium Lean Manufacturing for the Finishing Industry is March 8 at the Expo location. This all-day interactive symposium will be presented by PDG Consultants, a consulting firm specializing in lean transformation using the tools of the Toyota Production System and Kaizen methodology.
