SUMMARY:Automation… Safety Assumed… Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Jason Low\, Senior Manufacturing Engineering Specialist \nThis webinar is for any small-medium size company that is considering automation for the first time\, or is looking at I4.0 technologies and is uncertain of the safety implications of such a journey. \nThe mission of autonomous systems is task execution. Interactions by non-system agents (humans) are not to occur. Light curtains\, pressure mats and physical barriers have long been the elements which provide signaling and subsequent safety for workers. Join us as we review technologies that are switching out the old guard and the evolution of the standards that have protected humans from machines for decades. We will see that with new autonomy (cobots\, AMRs\, AGVs\, ALTs\, etc.)\, new safety paradigms emerge\, and new standards must be developed. We will investigate old and new standards alike and offer insights on why and how they may impact your operations and decision-making. \nRegister for the webinar » \nJason Low is a Senior Manufacturing Engineering Specialist at NC State University Industry Expansion Solutions\, where he assists clients with automation strategies and their understanding how Industry 4.0 technologies can be leveraged within their own operations. Jason comes to IES with 25 years of teaching and automation experience at NCSU\, including a tenure in the computer industry where he served as a manufacturing engineer. In his IES role\, Jason works with a broad array of North Carolina companies and a network of people and resources that contribute to one of the most important sectors of North Carolina’s economy\, manufacturing. Jason is excited to bring his system mindset and knowledge of automation and processes to help solve the challenges faced by many of North Carolina’s small and medium-sized manufacturers. \nJason holds a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering (BSEET) from the University of Maine and a Master of Industrial Engineering (MIE) from\nNC State University.

Registration will close once max capacity is reached. Limited to 60. \n**** \nPeople\, Ideas and Technology\, in that Order\nOver the last two decades\, we’ve seen a shift in the nature of security threats\, from the emergence of networked insurgency to the growth of cyber threats\, the conditions of warfare are as unpredictable as ever. \nIn these times of growing uncertainty\, the strategies that have served us for nearly 100 years have become insufficient and unsustainable. We need to build a more agile and adaptive resource to meet the unpredictable threats of the future. \nNSIN and its programs serve to develop a new alliance between defense\, academia\, and venture communities whose collaboration is imperative in the service of our national security. \nDiversity Powers the Network\nNSIN is an unrivaled problem-solving network that adapts to the emerging needs of those who serve in the defense of our national security. We offer programs and services that connect innovators across communities that might not traditionally cross paths. By combining problem-solvers from different kinds of communities\, we create powerful and unexpected effects. Our ability to harness our diversity for the common good is one of the greatest advantages of our country. This source of power is a bedrock principle of our union\, as expressed in its motto\, “E Pluribus Unum (Out of Many\, One).” \nSolving for Uncertainty\nThe defense community\, working on the front line of conflict\, has a deep understanding of the emerging need for innovation in national security. For service members\, these problems are their daily reality. Their insight and commitment make service members vital participants in the National Security Innovation Base. \nThe academic enterprise of discovery has important things to offer both of these markets. \nThe startup venture represents the most agile mechanism for innovation. By focusing on developing a minimum viable product and the conservation of capital\, startups have emerged as engines of innovation that create better\, cheaper\, and faster solutions. NSIN is a network that brings together the values of service\, discovery\, and speed. Together\, these forces will drive the innovations that help us realize the better\, safer world we want to share.

SUMMARY:Expanding Care for Our Veterans: VA Health Care and Benefits for Veterans Exposed to Toxic Substances
DESCRIPTION:The PACT Act\, signed into law in August 2022\, expands health care and benefits for veterans exposed to burn pits\, Agent Orange and other toxic substances. It provides generations of veterans – and their survivors – with the care and benefits they’ve earned. As a result\, North Carolina’s expansive military and veteran communities are significantly affected by the PACT Act. \nThe act is expected to bring an additional 3.5 million veterans into the US Department of Veterans Affairs care\, which will require an emphasis on modernization\, development and expansion of information technology systems. It will also require expanding claims processing for newly eligible veterans. \nREGISTER HERE \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis live event will explore implementation efforts of the PACT Act and regional impacts of the legislation. It will also look deeper into how North Carolina businesses can support program rollout.
