*This conference session requires registration and payment.

This abstract explores the pivotal shift from disparate software solutions to a unified platform for plant management, excluding all but essential tools like email and accounting software. It highlights the transformative power of centralizing operational data, from quoting to invoicing, within a singular, intuitive interface. This consolidation promises streamlined workflows, real-time data integration, and comprehensive analytics, paving the way for efficiency gains and strategic advantages through predictive insights. Embracing simplicity over complexity, this approach fosters agile operations, minimizes errors, and propels data-driven decision-making. Over time, the compounding value of this centralized system emerges, catalyzing enhanced efficiency, interdepartmental synergy, and the proactive implementation of predictive strategies, positioning plants for accelerated success in a fiercely competitive industrial landscape.

Julian Carpenter started Bean’s Best LLC in Ann Arbor MI about 10 years ago as a departure from continuing his PhD at U of Mich. The company has evolved from a (very new) custom coating shop with no employees to a full service advanced sheet metal manufacturing facility that serves exclusively other manufacturers who are leaders in their respective classes. With only 11 employees at the company, Julian wears a lot of hats, including industrial designer, process engineer, maintenance technician, financial analyst and even the guy that sweeps the floor sometimes.
