MRC’s Smart Manufacturing Forum brings together automation engineers, controls technicians, and maintenance leaders in a peer-driven setting to tackle real challenges on the shop floor.
Members share practical solutions, lessons learned, and proven strategies that are making a difference in their facilities.
Forum participants hear from industry guest speakers on topics that matter most, including emerging automation technologies, plant floor connectivity, machine monitoring and data collection, workforce upskilling, and reliability best practices. Real-world case studies keep discussions grounded and applicable to your work.
Forums are held in a variety of formats, including in-person meetings, virtual sessions, and on-site visits at host manufacturing facilities that open their doors to showcase their own smart manufacturing solutions, giving participants a firsthand look at real-world implementations in action.
MRC’s facilitator keeps the conversation focused and productive, balancing structured topics with open discussion, so every voice in the room gets heard. Whether you’re troubleshooting a recurring control system issue or planning your next automation investment, the Smart Manufacturing Forum connects you with peers who get it.
Members will find the forum a high-valued use of their time, walking away with a stronger professional network, fresh ideas, and solutions they can put to work right away.
