Automation Experts from Designed Conveyor Systems and Waller & Associates Presenting Two ProMat 2025 Education Sessions
**Date Posted:**
01.24.25
*First on-floor seminar explores how to design practical, end-to-end automated solutions; second details best practices when preparing for an automation deployment or update.*
**Franklin, Tenn.** – January 10, 2025 – In addition to an exhibit at , material handling systems integrator Designed Conveyor Systems (DCS) and its subsidiary Waller & Associates, an independent supply chain consulting firm, will present two on-floor education sessions:
* “,” will be held on Monday, March 17 from Noon – 12:45 p.m. in Theater I. The theater is located on the right-hand wall in South Building, Hall A.
* “,” will be presented on Wednesday, March 19 from 2:15 – 3:00 p.m. in Theater C. The theater is located on the back wall in South Building, Hall A.
**INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGIES THOUGHTFULLY MAXIMIZES RESOURCES**
Presenting “” on Monday are DCS Principal Solutions Designer Robert Hosier and Project Director of Consulting Services Justin Willbanks. The pair explained that as automated material handling solutions become more complex, it is increasingly important for system designs to focus on thoughtful technology integrations.
“Contributing to the ongoing labor shortages facing many operations, economic uncertainty is driving companies to look for practical, pragmatic automation solutions. They need to maximize their budget as effectively as possible while customizing a solution that allows their business to achieve long-term growth in an unpredictable marketplace,” noted Hosier. “In this seminar, we’ll explain how to do that with a focus on scalability, ease of implementation, and user-friendly interfaces.”
The session will emphasize how combining and synchronizing different automated material handling technologies can help streamline workflows. Applying these solutions enables operations to mitigate labor shortages, reduce operational costs, and enhance productivity by minimizing errors and optimizing resource allocation.
“Another challenge faced by many operations pursuing an automation project are the different concerns of multiple stakeholders,” added Willbanks. “We’ll share some approaches for considering and prioritizing those needs. Session participants will leave the presentation with best practices for achieving a scalable, sustainable automation solution.”
**PLANNING ESSENTIAL FOR SUCCESSFUL AUTOMATION TRANSITION**
On Wednesday, Jeff Waller, Principal, and Al Richey, Managing Director of Supply Chain Consulting at Waller & Associates, a subsidiary of DCS, will be joined by Matt Greene, DCS Vice President of Life Cycle, to share “.” The presentation will explain why performing a comprehensive gap analysis — covering IT, workflows, and skillsets of current personnel — is critical to achieving a successful automation deployment.
“Companies undertaking an investment in automation cannot afford to take a ‘ready-fire-aim’ approach, or their project will likely fail,” cautioned Waller. “An automated system is only as good as the process governing it, and the people who use it. Therefore, it’s essential to incorporate a detailed analysis and integration plan for the automation, as well as for building the skills necessary to operate it.”
Seminar attendees will learn why every automation project should start with a thorough operational process assessment prior to selecting or implementing the technologies. The session will also share how to translate optimized processes into automated system planning, as well as how to properly train maintenance and operations teams.
“Business leaders need to establish both resource and process plans well ahead of an automation deployment,” added Greene. “Otherwise, they won’t effectively extract the maximum benefit of these systems. Session attendees will gather actionable planning tools that they can use to speed up an effective transition to new automation, or to improve an existing automated solution.”
