UT Research Institute (UTARI)   Fort Worth, Texas 

7300 JACK NEWELL BLVD. S.,FORT WORTH, TX 76118

10:00 am – 12:00 pm

Are you a manufacturing leader or interested
in smart, sustainable production?


Join us to learn how machine monitoring can
boost efficiency, cut downtime and reveal
process bottlenecks. We’ll share real-world
solutions, cost-effective options and live
demonstrations of sensors such as electric
current, fluid flow, air pressure, vision
systems, thermocouples, vibration, humidity,
laser distance and air quality sensors. See how
data is collected and visualized in practical
tools like Power BI and Excel.
