Bringing Smarter Manufacturing to the Southwest
At Managed Solutions, we believe manufacturing success is built on more than just machines. It’s built on people, data, and strong partnerships. Last month, we announced the relocation of our CNC automation specialist, Kevin Payne, from Southern California to the greater Phoenix area.
This move isn’t just about geography, it’s about bringing our deep expertise in CNC systems, machine data collection, and CIMCO software integration closer to you. Our goal is to better serve Arizona’s manufacturing community with efficient, local, and responsive support.
The Modern Manufacturing Landscape
Manufacturers across the U.S. are navigating a fast-changing environment: new technologies, evolving workforce demands, and the growing need for connected, data‑driven operations.
Some of the biggest challenges we see include:
- Integrating legacy and modern CNC machines for unified data visibility.
- Maintaining program security and traceability amid rising compliance requirements.
- Leveraging real-time monitoring and data collection to improve uptime and productivity.
- Navigating the digital transformation without disrupting production.
The manufacturing sector in the Southwest is thriving, from aerospace and defense to precision machining. The companies who succeed are those who invest in smart connectivity and continuous improvement.
How Managed Solutions Helps
Our mission is simple: help manufacturers connect machines, data, and teams for optimal performance.
Key areas of support:
