AI-Free Wins
At trade shows these days, AI demonstrations dominate nearly every booth, with flashy promises of how AI is revolutionizing everything from inspections to supply chains. But is this the only real progress?
Consider this: What if the most impactful advances don’t need algorithms at all?
Today, at MD&M West, I’ll be challenging myself to tour exhibits featuring retaining rings, wave springs, medical-grade tubing and tailored additive solutions. These proven engineering standouts are being engineered to deliver more reliable motion and surfaces in medical devices through materials science and precision manufacturing alone.
No code, no AI pilot—real engineering outshines empty hype.
