Thinking about automation but not sure where to start?

Join Lean Rocket Lab, Shop Rat Foundation, JAMA, and CabraMove for a free Lunch & Learn designed specifically for Jackson-area manufacturers.

Over lunch, you'll gain a practical framework for evaluating material movement in your facility, learn where automation can create real value, and get an honest look at where it may not make sense.

You'll also see a live AMR (autonomous mobile robot) demonstration and walk away with a simple one-page plant walkthrough method you can put to work on your own floor right away.

This is an educational, community-first session built by and for manufacturers. No sales pitch. Just practical insights, real conversations, and useful takeaways.

📅 Wednesday, July 8, 2026
⏰ 12–1:30 p.m.
📍 Advanced Manufacturing Training Center (AMTC) | 3517 Scheele Dr, Jackson
💲 Free (Lunch Included)

Seats are limited to keep the room conversational.

Jackson just cut the ribbon on something big.

Yesterday, we joined The Shop Rat Foundation, JAMA, and the Jackson community to celebrate the grand opening of the Advanced Manufacturing Training Center, a dedicated space for hands-on training in CNC machining, welding, robotics, automation, and more.

With over 250 manufacturers in Jackson County, equipping the local workforce with the skills they need isn't optional, it's essential to this community's future. The AMTC is exactly the kind of infrastructure that makes that possible.
Lean Rocket Lab is proud to be part of it.

We're running an incubation space inside the Hurst Navigation Tower, purpose-built for advanced manufacturing and physical product startups. This is where early-stage founders can build, test, and demo their solutions alongside the very manufacturers and workforce they're building for.

The AMTC isn't just a training center. It's a pipeline, connecting students to careers, startups to industry, and Jackson to the future of manufacturing.

Big congratulations to Kelly Kofflin and the Shop Rat Foundation, JAMA President Olivia Steele, and every partner and community member who made this happen. This has been two years in the making, and it shows.

We're just getting started.
