1:00 PM Case Study: Utilizing Technology To Reduce CapEx and Cost Per Unit
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 will present uFab's process innovations in printed circuit board manufacturing as a case study and model for materially reducing CapEx requirements and improving unit economics in the broader manufacturing landscape.
Tyler will detail how technical innovation, process consolidation, agile manufacturing models, and environmental considerations can significantly improve the financial realities of production. Attendees will gain a framework for evaluating new manufacturing technologies and identifying areas for internal optimization that prioritize efficiency and reduced overhead.
