🎤 We're headed to Extrusion Conference 2026 in Austin, and our Founder & President Peter Brand is taking the stage! 🙌 📅 Aug 19, 2026 ⏰ 8:00-8:30 a.m. 📍 Marriott Austin Downtown 🎙️ Session: "Turning AI/ML Into Plant-Floor Action for Extrusion" Extrusion plants aren't short on data. They're short on systems of action. ⚙️ Peter will walk through how leading plastics manufacturers are turning the data they already have into real-time, AI-driven decisions on the floor: accelerating operator training, improving productivity and retention, and generating real ROI. 📈 Heading to Austin? Come catch Peter's talk and let's connect. 👋 #Extrusion2026 #Manufacturing #IndustrialAI #Plastics #SystemsOfAction

Congrats to Joe Youssouf🥇 first place at the Google DeepMind × GDG Waterloo "Triage In Light Speed" hackathon. In just 7 hours, Joseph and his teammates Hargun Bhalla and Corey Barron built RaceMind: a self-learning platform that turns millisecond-level telematics from hundreds of onboard sensors into faster lap times and smarter race-day decisions for rally drivers. What stood out to us: instead of a black-box model, they built an "agent-in-the-loop" layer that learns from user feedback and stays readable, auditable, and correctable by the people using it. That's exactly what we believe in at Oden: putting AI in the hands of the front line in a way they can actually trust and steer. Take it for a spin (desktop only for now): https://lnkd.in/dhg39_eT Proud to have you on the team, Joseph!! 👏

We can't wait for Extrusion Conference taking place in Austin, Texas on August 18. It will be hot especially with our President & Co-Founder, Peter Brand, taking the stage on Day 2! Extrusion manufacturers are sitting on more data than ever — but most are still stuck with systems of record instead of a single system of action. Siloed data and process complexity mean frontline operators often don't get insights in time to prevent downtime or loss. Join Peter Brand at 8 am on Day 2 as he breaks down how leading plastics manufacturers are turning the data they already have into a real-time AI copilot for their operators — one that drives decisions on the floor, not just dashboards in an office. If you're serious about accelerating training, improving retention, and generating measurable ROI from your manufacturing data — this is a session you don't want to miss.

Oden is proud to be a sponsor of this year's Digital Manufacturing Strategies Summit in Chicago. This will be one of the most important events of the year for manufacturers pursuing digital transformation and AI solutions! See you there.

Last week we wrapped on another fantastic installment of our Production Line of the Future series of plant tours. I'm again floored by the generosity of our customers to open their doors and show other manufacturing leaders exactly what it takes to rapidly transform an organization. Technology (especially AI) is only as good as the people using it to change the way they work, and a special thanks to Jerry Evans and his team at SDI LaFarga COPPERWORKS™ for hosting an candid discussion to raise all boats around manufacturing. SDI LaFarga COPPERWORKS™ has successfully evolved themselves into a next-generation manufacturer with a 22% OEE gain and world-class quality. We got to see first-hand how they've done it at their site in New Haven, IN, and what that means for the energy- and AI-critical Copper industry. Proud to be partner. Can't wait for the next.

All manufacturers are digitizing operations - some set the standard on both the technology and people fronts. We’re proud to be co-hosting the next installation of our Production Line of the Future series this week at SDI LaFarga COPPERWORKS™ in Fort Wayne, IN, where we’ll learn more about their remarkable transformation and increase in OEE of over 22%. Their copper manufacturing in Indiana represents the gold standard for optimizing uptime, performance, and quality in continuous manufacturing. They are putting data and AI to work and will be sharing their formula for success. All spots have been taken but you can watch the video from our last event and sign up to learn more about upcoming showcases: https://bit.ly/4bXJEU1

For each major production problem you faced in the last year, how long did it take from the moment it was noticed until the time someone acted on it? We here at Wire Expo 26 with The Wire Association International to show wire and cable manufacturers how to empower operators to act on production issues faster with real-time, AI-driven process recommendations delivered directly to the front line. Stop by booth #639 (head to the back right) and ask Cameron Hilpert, MBA and Gina Tabone how to apply these concepts in your own environment. https://lnkd.in/gmHJ5Zux

Wire & Cable manufacturers aren't missing data, they're missing real-time execution. It's now possible to turn massive amounts of unorganized data into an AI-driven copilot supporting operator decision-making, so organizations can sustain improvements and institutionalize knowledge amid labor and variability headwinds. If you'd like to know more then let’s connect at WIRE Expo 2026 - come by the booth and catch Peter Brand present this topic. 📍 Booth #639 📅 May 6–7, 2026 🗣️ Thursday, May 7 at 10:40 am | Exhibit Hall Stop by to discuss practical ways to improve efficiency, reduce downtime, and drive measurable results across your manufacturing operations. Whether you're tackling workforce challenges, modernizing processes, or scaling production, we’re ready to share insights and solutions. See you at Booth #639 .

Question: How do 3-month Operators deliver the same performance as 30-year Operators? Answer: Send real-time, AI-driven process recommendations straight to the front-line. This two-page infographic explains how manufacturers waste less, produce more, and make smarter decisions on the plant floor.

Manufacturers wondering why production has been flat over the last few years and why OEE targets seem like stretch-goals, try this Digital Readiness Assessment to see what may be causing those results.
