WEBINAR: From Spreadsheets to the Digital Thread: One Shop’s Journey Through the Messy Middle
May 13th, 2026, at 12:30 pm ET
Building a real digital thread is messier than anyone admits. Right Angle Steel shares what it takes.
In high-volume fabrication, the pressure never lets up. Aggressive lead times. Tight margins. Customers who are always one bad delivery away from bringing work in-house.
The shops that win aren’t just the ones with the best equipment. They’re the ones who know exactly what their operation is doing and can back every commitment with real data.
Josh Cook, President of Right Angle Steel, is currently making that shift. In this webinar, he shares what drove the decision, what connecting systems from CAM through real-time production monitoring actually looks like from the inside, and where he expects it to take his operation.
What You’ll Learn
- Why spreadsheets and gut feel hit a wall, and what it costs when they do
