It is with deep sadness that we say goodbye to a cherished member of our Acieta family. Andy Wiese, who spent 18 years at Acieta, initially as a programmer and later as an Integration Manager, has passed away. Andy was a remarkably intelligent, imaginative, and enjoyable individual. He held deep affection for his wife and children and possessed a heart as large as his personality. The void he leaves behind is immeasurable, considering his countless contributions to Acieta. During this time of mourning, our thoughts and prayers are focused on his wife Liz, his children, and his entire family. Godspeed, Andy.

Join us at the TASC Conference for many great informational sessions, including how to help improve employee retention. Robby will discuss expert insights and actionable tips to help boost employee engagement and productivity with robots!

TASC Event: 🔗 https://www.tascevent.com/

Automation can significantly improve throughput, efficiency and productivity for job shops...but so many factors keep small-to-midsize shops from taking that leap to automation:

➡️ Not knowing where to start

➡️ Choosing the right technology and integration partner

➡️ Finding the right ROI

➡️ Not having a workforce trained for the new technology

That's why amazing integrators like Acieta exist...to help the small shops succeed in automation projects!

🗓️ By the way, if this describes your shop, there's a new conference just for you this October in Michigan: The Automated Shop Conference (TASC) is for small and midsize CNC shops to learn about automation specific to your niche.
