If you’re a manufacturer in the Wichita area, mark your calendar for September 22nd.
Optegrity and Techam will be at the KMS Manufacturing Meetup at Chicken & Pickle in Wichita — and if you’ve been wondering what it actually looks like to close the gap between your ERP and your shop floor, this is a conversation worth having in person.
What Is the KMS Manufacturing Meetup?
The KMS Manufacturing Meetup brings together manufacturers and the people who support them for an evening of real conversations — not a conference, not a pitch fest. Just manufacturers talking about what’s working, what isn’t, and what the floor actually looks like day to day.
It’s free for manufacturers, food and drinks are included, and you can drop in anytime between 4:00 and 8:00 PM.
📍 Chicken & Pickle — Wichita | 2140 N. Greenwich Rd., Wichita, Kansas 67206
📅 Tuesday, September 22, 2026 | 4:00–8:00 PM
🎟️ Free for manufacturers
What We’ll Be Talking About
The conversation we keep having with manufacturers — in Houston, in the shop, over the phone — comes back to the same place: the plan and the floor don’t match. The ERP says one thing. The floor says another. And the people in the middle are the ones absorbing the gap.
We’ll be there to talk about what that gap costs, why it persists even in well-run operations, and what it looks like when manufacturers close it — with lean principles, the right operating system, and technology that captures data where the work actually happens.
If you’ve been thinking about where your operation loses time, visibility, or quality data between shifts — come find us. We’d rather have that conversation over food than over a sales call.
See You in Wichita
Whether you’re deep into a lean transformation or just starting to ask the right questions, the KMS Meetup is the kind of room worth being in. We’ll save you a seat.
