Munro & Associates CEO to Discuss 'The Manufacturing Facility of the Future' at the ATX East and ATX Canada Conferences

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., June 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today's manufacturing industry faces a raging tempest of new technologies and processes that are rapidly expanding the paradigms of what is possible. Sandy Munro, CEO of Munro & Associates, Inc. and a veteran of innovation in the manufacturing and design industry, is poised to speak at the upcoming ATX Automation Technology conferences in New York and Toronto about this exciting future of the manufacturing industry. During speaking engagements on June 9 in New York and June 17 in Toronto, Munro will discuss the new possibilities and trends in his talk "The Manufacturing Plant of the Future."

"The manufacturing industry will see a dramatic shift in coming years and those that are unprepared will perish," says Munro. "Only companies with open minds who are willing to invest in these new technologies and processes will survive."

During his presentations, Munro will discuss the game-changing findings from his company's recent teardown, benchmarking and reverse engineering study conducted on the BMW i3, the first mass produced fully electric vehicle with high carbon fiber content. Additive manufacturing (3D printing) is another hot topic that will be covered – evaluating both what is and is not currently possible.

Munro will also go into other new technologies and design concepts that will enable companies to leapfrog competitors, as well as discuss the growing trend of re-shoring back to the North American market from overseas.
