About the webinar:

Are you ready to see what a truly automated Material Flow system can look like—when AI, robots, and smart software work together on your shop floor? Join us for a 60-minute webinar on “Automating the Perfect Material Flow System,” where we’ll explore how today’s technologies can guide every step of your mixed-model production process.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

1. PFEP as a Living Data Engine
Imagine your Plan-For-Every-Part database updating itself in real time. We’ll show how AI can pull in data from your ERP system, supplier lead times, and shop-floor sensors to keep every part profile accurate. You’ll learn how the system spots errors before they cause delays and predicts changes in demand so you’re always prepared for the next shift.

2. Self-Sizing Kanban & Containers
What if your Kanban bins could size themselves? We’ll explain how AI balances forecast changes, takt time, and worker comfort to calculate the right number of parts per bin—and then sends those settings straight to smart bins or RFID carts. When parts are swapped, sensors confirm the change and automatically trigger restocking—no manual steps needed.

3. Robotic Kitting & Smart Sequencing
Kitting shouldn’t slow you down. See how collaborative robots and AI can pick and assemble kits in the exact order your line needs—cutting travel time and keeping workloads even for human teammates. We’ll also look at camera checks that verify each kit is correct before it moves on to conveyors or automated vehicles.

4. Dynamic Delivery Route Planning
Imagine your milk-run routes adjusting themselves. We’ll walk through how digital-twin simulations—using live shop-floor data—compare different routing options, while AI planners send autonomous tuggers or AGVs along the fastest paths. The system even reroutes around blockages to keep parts moving without stops.

By the end of this webinar, you’ll have a clear picture of how AI, robotics, and real-time data can bring Lean Mixed-Model principles to life—making your material flow smart, flexible, and virtually hands-free. Plus, during our live Q&A, you can tell us which ideas excite you most and which challenges you’d like to tackle next.
