1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Manufacturers are facing a silent crisis: decades of institutional knowledge are walking out the door as experienced engineers retire, turnover rises, and supplier ecosystems shift. At the same time, teams are drowning in unstructured files — drawings, quotes, QC reports, and tribal process notes — making it harder than ever to reuse past work, avoid repeat mistakes, and train new talent. AI has the power to reverse this trend — not by replacing experts, but by capturing, structuring, and amplifying their knowledge across engineering, procurement, and operations. Join CADDi’s VP of Partnerships&amp;nbsp;Patrick Harrigan&amp;nbsp;and CADDi’s VP of Engineering&amp;nbsp;Chris Cope for a deep-dive discussion on: You Will Learn Why knowledge attrition is the #1 hidden cost in manufacturing transformation How AI is being applied today to digitize, structure, and unlock legacy engineering + supplier data Real examples of teams using&amp;nbsp;AI to speed RFQs, avoid repeat quality issues, and ramp new engineers faster Frameworks for evaluating AI tools that support — not disrupt — your workforce A practical roadmap to start preserving expertise before it's gone This session is designed for forward-thinking manufacturing leaders who want to future-proof their organizations and empower their teams — not replace them.
