What you'll see
Bring the problem you cannot quite solve. Bring the part you cannot inspect. Bring the line that keeps going down. Everything on the floor is running, and Adams application engineers are standing next to it.
Why come
Live equipment on the floor. If a MAC pulse valve or a Cognex vision head might solve your line, put your part on it and see. Bring a sample if you can.
Adams application engineers and manufacturer reps in one room. Ask the detailed question you would normally spend three weeks scheduling calls for.
200+ plant managers, reliability leads, and maintenance pros last year. Talk to peers about what is actually working on their line.
