Easy, Efficient, and Productive

This year Optimation^® literally brought the Opti-Users^™ Conference to where you work. In this economy, we understand that time and money are more critical than ever. That's why so many Optimation^® customers took advantage of our new online meeting option.

They were able to attend - and not have work pile up.
They could participate in discussions that mattered to them - while still be available to their work environment as needed.
They could get great ideas and answers from other users - without leaving their desks.

The new online format made the experience an easy, efficient, and productive use of their time.

What's New

The O0901A Release, of course!

Optimation presented several sessions on what's new and improved in the software. From advancements in AxiomVE to upgrades in beveling, punch, and contour processes, Optimation rolled out the new release O0901A.

Familiar Favorites

While attending the Conference users took advantage of our familiar sessions. The Q&A opened up a roundtable of discussion on topics of interest to all participants. Each user can learn from other questions, and Optimation hears first hand what is happening in the field.

Another perennial favorite are the User to User sessions. Here nothing trumps experience in learning best practices and inside tips from those doing similar operations. And always well received are the One-on-One sessions, where you have dedicated time to get answers on your pressing fabrication questions.

"Optimation did a great job putting this conference together."

Optimation's First Managers Forum

Responding to feedback by our customer-managers, Optimation presented a 2-hour online conference exclusively for managers. Mike Lundy, Optimation's CEO, delivered several presentations.

Continuous Improvement Program. Progressive manufacturers can work in partnership with Optimation to be proactive in seeking improved efficiencies and cost-savings on an ongoing basis.

Primary Standards. An uninformed decision can do more detriment to an operation than good. With clear, concise quantitative data regarding the apparent and not-so-clear efficiency metrics using Primary Standards, you can make decisions with confidence. Mike and Tate Lundy demonstrated this new tool with real world data and results.

Material Efficiencies Presented by Greg Scofield, managers learned of new advancements on the drawing table that will further enhance their control and bottom line raw material savings.
