Cutting Tool Synergy: Integrating Next-Gen Tooling with Modern CNC Machines
Exploring the powerful synergies between next-generation cutting tools, modern CNC machines and other advanced manufacturing technologies — such as high-pressure coolant systems — is an ongoing endeavor for both the end users using these technologies and between the companies providing these technologies. This informative webinar will delve into how manufacturing technology providers are working together on better designs and the integration of their technologies, and how this approach can dramatically enhance productivity, tool life and part production on the shop floor once in the hands of end users. Iscar will explore how smart tooling designs — featuring machine specific solutions, advanced coatings, geometries, and integral designs — are optimized to perform with today’s CNC machines and peripheral technologies. Additionally, the presenter will highlight the game-changing benefits of high-pressure coolant delivery, which provide superior chip evacuation, thermal control and lubrication — especially when paired with tooling designed specifically to leverage high-pressure coolant capabilities, such as 3D printed tools that optimize coolant flow/pressure. Whether you're a shop floor manager, manufacturing engineer, decision-maker or CNC programmer/machinist looking to stay competitive, this webinar will provide valuable insights into how the latest technologies complement one another and where gains are being achieved. Don’t miss this opportunity to see how a system-based approach to tooling integration can transform your machining strategies. Agenda: How to align next-gen tooling with CNC capabilities for maximum performance The role of high-pressure coolant in improving machining productivity Practical strategies for integration and profitability Real-world case studies and results

How Harvey Performance Boosts Schedule Attainment with Real-Time Machine Data
In today’s hyper-competitive environment, real-time data isn’t just nice to have, it’s the backbone of decision-making, automation, and AI. Yet too often, disconnected systems lead to ERP plans that don’t match production reality. The result? An execution gap that leads to excessive machine downtime, manually driven processes and missed production deadlines. In this webinar, George Burleson, director of manufacturing analytics and process engineering, will share how Harvey Performance — after attempting to build their own MES — ultimately turned to MachineMetrics to achieve real-time production and operational visibility with job tracking, scheduling and machine monitoring solutions. By integrating real-time production data with Epicor, Harvey Performance has unlocked visibility across machines, processes, and business systems, turning raw production data into actionable insights that drive profitability — in Harvey’s case, doubling schedule attainment. Whether you’re an operations leader, plant manager or continuous improvement professional, this session will give you a practical look at how production intelligence can align ERP plans with shop floor reality to dial in scheduling and maximize your capacity. Agenda: What production intelligence is and why it matters now How Harvey Performance integrated MachineMetrics with Epicor Kinetic to unify machine and business data Practical use cases: improving OEE, schedule attainment and process efficiency Steps you can take to move from data collection to decision-making

Are FAIs Delaying Your Shipments?
In too many shops, the bottleneck isn’t the machine or the machinists — it’s the paperwork. Shop owners often tell us it takes longer to complete the paperwork than to make the part itself. First article inspections (FAIs), production part approval process (PPAP) and quality documents aren’t the real issue. The problem is the manual way they’re created: hand-ballooned drawings, retyped inspection plans and endless chasing of data. Inefficient quality processes stall shipments, delay revenue and frustrate your customers. In this webinar, you’ll see how High QA’s software transforms the quality process by turning documentation bottlenecks into streamlined, automated workflows. Join High QA to see how leading manufacturers are accelerating documentation, eliminating paperwork delays, and delivering quality at speed. Agenda: Automatically balloon 2D drawings or 3D models Create inspection plans for downstream quality Generate FAIs in under 5 minutes Prepare PPAP documents with collaborative workflows Ship your parts on time, on quality and on budget
