Engineering talent acquisition is a complex system with many moving parts. Every part has an important role, and defects in any one can have an adverse effect on attracting and selecting the right engineers and technicians, cause delay in assembling a project team or staff, and ultimately affect the ability to execute projects and deliver work product. We will take a look at what can go wrong in the hiring process. Companies will learn what can be done to error proof the system and eliminate waste and delay, and we’ll offer tips to the job seeker on how to get noticed and put their best foot forward.

By integrating Lightweight Tooling into production processes, the automotive, robotic, and packaging markets can benefit from faster part handling, improved production levels, and safer working conditions. Join us as Robert Pitera, Global Product Director at DE-STA-CO, explains how lightweight end effector tooling can provide myriad benefits in automated manufacturing operations. Learn how to generate A 25—30% increase in production through the use of innovative tools that weigh 50% less than traditional tools, higher safety ratings for workers through improved ergonomics and reduced maintenance: lighter tooling places fewer stresses on machines, leading to a decrease in the need for maintenance and repair and, ultimately, less lost production time.
