Tyler Richards

As manufacturers push to expand capacity while minimizing capital expenditure, technology is becoming a primary lever for optimizing asset utilization and driving down cost per unit. In this session, Tyler Richards, Founder of U FAB, will dissect the specific digital, automation, and data engineering strategies that materially reduce Capex requirements and improve unit economics. He will detail how advanced sensing, real time performance analytics, and modular automation architectures can extend equipment life, increase OEE, and eliminate bottlenecks without major capital outlays. Attendees will gain a technical understanding of how to architect low Capex, high throughput production systems using scalable digital tools, targeted automation, and closed loop operational data.
