Manufacturing Tech Keynote Speaker: Securing the Smart Factory and Optimizing the AI-Driven Floor
On the modern factory floor, a single cybersecurity breach can halt production faster than a mechanical failure. As the 'Human Tech Expert,' Burton Kelso helps manufacturing leaders navigate the complex shift to Industry 5.0. Move beyond the hype of 'Smart Manufacturing' and discover a practical roadmap to secure your 'Digital Gold,' automate redundant administrative tasks, and master the AI tools of 2026. Burton delivers the jargon-free insights needed to increase your operational efficiency and protect your intellectual property, ensuring that your digital transformation supports your crew and your bottom line
Why Book Burton for Your Next Manufacturing Summit or Industrial Expo?
The "Zero Downtime" Goal:
Unexpected repairs kill profitability. I demonstrate how Agentic AI and sensor data can predict machine failures before they happen, moving your team from "reactive repair" to "proactive optimization."
Securing the Connected Floor (IIoT):
Every connected device is a potential entry point for hackers. I provide non-technical training to help floor managers and executives protect their IP, blueprints, and supply chain data from state-sponsored threats and ransomware.
The Skilled Labor Shortage:
The "silver tsunami" is taking decades of institutional knowledge into retirement. I show leaders how to use AI to capture that expertise and create "Digital Twins" of processes that make training the next generation faster and more effective.
Supply Chain Transparency:
In 2026, a delay at a Tier 3 supplier is your problem. I teach teams how to use smart automation to gain real-time visibility into their supply chain, allowing for faster pivots when global disruptions occur.
Digital Wellness for Industrial Leaders:
Managing a 24/7 operation is exhausting. I share strategies for using technology to streamline communication between the front office and the shop floor, reducing the "cognitive load" on supervisors and improving safety.
