Making More with Data-Powered Production at IMTS 2024

Whether you have been to IMTS before, or 2024 was your very first time, your expectations are always exceeded by the spectacle and quality of exhibitors bringing their very best to tens of thousands of attendees who want to know what’s new and exciting for manufacturing technology.

At the Datanomix booth this year, we went bigger with our Data-Powered Production™ Showcase, featuring live, interactive touchscreen kiosks that made our Datanomix products available not just for viewing but for direct usage in our booth.

The showcase included our industry-leading Production Monitoring software, along with several new products that are designed to help manufacturers make more parts, reduce costs, and automate burdensome workflows:

• G-Code Cloud
  Our new G-Code Management and DNC platform designed to be an easy button for CMMC 2.0 compliance.
• TMAC AI
  In collaboration with our partner, Caron Engineering, TMAC AI delivers predictive part quality and predictive tool life optimizations by streaming TMAC data into Datanomix for real-time feedback. You literally know within seconds of a feature being cut whether the part is predicted to yield or not!
• Tooling CPU Analytics
  In collaboration with our partner, Vallen, we are bringing tool crib data, vending machine data, operations data, and machine data together to automate Cost Per Unit analysis and identify the greatest opportunities to reduce tool costs.

Our Kick-Ass Community

Among the major highlights for our team were the dozens of current Datanomix customers who visited our booth. These visits spawned chance meetings between shop owners and leaders from different parts of the country who had never met each other before but had similar businesses and challenges. We found that our customers were comparing notes on new machines under consideration, inspection equipment, culture, and hiring. And, of course, discussing various software and automation technologies became commonplace inside our booth. We were fortunate to have the space, the flowing supply of Shop Floor Coffee, and great partners like EBITDA Growth Systems and Vallen available in our booth to drive all sorts of great conversations that made us effectively become the town square for hot topics in manufacturing.

We were also visited by the great Tony Gunn with MTDCNC to talk about Data-Powered Production™ and our unique approach to making our customers successful with our Kick-ass Coaching™. I’ve never seen Tony get taken by surprise during an interview like when our VP of Customer Success, Annie Michaud, told Tony, “It’s not coaching; it’s Kick-ass Coaching!” It was a truly hilarious moment, and the video footage will be great when it’s released.

Speaking of Kick-ass Coaching, one of my favorite quotes of the week came from Devin Verhoest at G.P.R. Company Inc. while he and his father spent time in our booth to talk about their plans for the future:

“I have to tell you, I love your Customer Success model. You won’t let us fail. You are there every step of the way to make sure we get the ROI, we get the value, and we make the improvements Datanomix is showing us we can.”

On the Wednesday evening of the show, we held an appreciation dinner for several dozen customers, partners, and prospects. The camaraderie of in-person events like these is irreplaceable, and it was an honor to be seen as a catalyst for community by those who attended.
