- Robert Bodor, CEO and President, Protolabs
Protolabs began as a company aimed at filling a specific manufacturing need: injection molded parts really fast. As one of manufacturing’s original “digital natives,” that speed was a result of automation and digitizing a once-traditional process. Since those early days, the company has expanded its offerings and experienced significant growth. The ongoing digital transformation that followed over the next 25 years as a custom components manufacturer has provided a case study in digital evolution comprised of technology advancements, key acquisitions, difficult trade-offs, and even a few hard lessons learned along the way. Protolabs President and CEO Rob Bodor shares the company’s ongoing Manufacturing 4.0 journey that has driven its mission to serve customers on the forefront of innovation.

As supply chains have increased in their complexity, viable solutions are needed for managing operations through multiple geographic locations, distributors, and transportation networks. Web3 is a decentralized and open web with increased utility for users and it has the promise to process supply chain more efficiently and securely, helping to reduce errors while saving time, cost, and resources.
How do you know when maintaining an existing system is more costly than investing in a newer, better solution? This panel discussion will examine how to know when you’ve reached the tipping point, how this type of debt can be “paid off,” and how to create a smart strategy that will avoid accumulating technical debt in the future.
What are some of the most promising use cases for quantum computing? Find out how this technology can optimize manufacturing operations while overcoming complexity from the supply chain to the shop floor to the end consumer.
A resilient, robust digital network is the essential backbone to digital transformation. But getting the right network in place requires careful consideration and planning. This session will help you develop a step-by-step plan for getting the most from factory networks, from defining objectives, to infrastructure development, to boosting safety and security, to planning for scalability.
Manufacturers are finding more and more benefits to bringing AR and VR into their operations. This includes frontline worker training, which can allow for faster skill development, boosted productivity, and fewer errors. Other applications include remote maintenance and technical support, as well as getting real-time feedback from customers that can be incorporated into future product development.
Equipment failure can lead to costly downtime and reduced productivity, but manufacturers may find it challenging to move toward a more predictive posture, centralized around condition-based monitoring. Learn about the benefits of predictive maintenance while also discussing how to develop a strategy that can get you there, faster.
Hear the in-depth details and lessons learned from a 2024 Manufacturing Leadership Awards project category finalist.
2:40 p.m. Panel Discussion: The Journey to Digital Manufacturing: Past, Present, and Future
As MLC reflects on the 20th anniversary of Rethink, two major questions need to be addressed. The first is: what has the industry accomplished so far in its journey to the digital model of manufacturing? And the second is: what does the industry still need to accomplish to truly realize the promise of digital? Four leading industry analysts will share their views on both questions.
Panelists:
- Andy Chatha, President and CEO, ARC Advisory Group
- Julie Fraser, Vice President of Research, Manufacturing and Operations, Tech-Clarity
- Jeffrey H. Hojlo, Research Vice President, Future of Industry Ecosystems, Innovation Strategies, and Energy Insights, IDC

10:45 a.m. Executive Interview: Innovating Vehicle Autonomy for Attainable, User-Friendly Warehouse Automation
The benefits of advanced automation in manufacturing range from cost reduction and productivity increases to improved worker safety and increased business agility. While many approaches to automation are accessible to most manufacturers, some have a prohibitively high barrier to entry in terms of cost, complexity, or technical difficulty. The use of autonomous vehicles is a paradigmatic example. In this session the Hyster Yale Group President and CEO will discuss their strategies for overcoming such barriers in an initiative that was part of their transition from selling products to providing end-to-end solutions.

1:35 p.m. Concurrent Interactive (Re)Think Tanks
Choose from one of the following interactive sessions.
Back by popular demand, this panel discussion will examine exactly what it means to be a leader in the digital age. While understanding technology is fundamental, the new generation of manufacturing leaders will also need a strong grasp of change management strategies, communication, employee engagement, and building trust.
While most manufacturers have visibility into Tier 1 suppliers, that is oftentimes where the transparency ends. Breaking through to obtain visibility further into the supply chain can be a difficult undertaking, but doing so can be essential to creating an agile, risk-resistant supply chain that is compliant with regulations and optimized for cost and quality.
Your digital transformation efforts might be heavily focused on your factories and manufacturing operations. But what about your customers? This case study will examine how a holistic M4.0 strategy includes the customer voice as the ultimate driver of business performance improvement.
Don’t just upskill your workers – your legacy systems can be “trained up,” too. Find out how to integrate legacy systems into a digital ecosystem while considering the factors of best technology fit, cybersecurity, worker training, and how to get the most from operations data.
Ever since its release in late 2022, ChatGPT and other large language model chatbots have created waves throughout business and beyond. This session will examine both the upsides and the risks to using tools such as ChatGPT, and how they might be deployed in an industrial setting.
The principles of Lean and continuous improvement have been familiar to manufacturers for decades. Those same fundamentals of Value, Value Mapping, Flow, Pull, and Perfection can be applied to creating a holistic digital transformation strategy. Find out how manufacturers are using these timeworn principles to create digital strategies that get results fast.
