This session will cover a case study from Southland Industries on how using Field Orderz, the newest tool in the Stratus ecosystem, to replace hand-drawn tickets with a fully digital, mobile-first solution to keep their shop and field in sync, and allow their fab shops to work from one consistent fabrication system to manage, track, analyze and schedule all fabrication requests from both BIM and the Field.<\/p>\n<\/div><ul class=\"program-day-event-speakers\"><li><div class=\"program-day-event-speaker\"><div><div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mcaaevents.org\/fabrication\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/Jake-headshot-2025-4-640x640-1.png\" \/><\/div><div><div>Jake Olsen<\/div><div class=\"subtitle\">CEO<\/div><div class=\"subtitle\">Stratus<\/div><\/div><div><a href=\"https:\/\/mcaaevents.org\/fabrication\/speaker\/jake-olsen-2\/\"><span class=\"elementor-button-text\">See Bio<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li><li><div class=\"program-day-event-speaker\"><div><div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mcaaevents.org\/fabrication\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/Corey-Hilton-Headshot_640x640.png\" \/><\/div><div><div>Corey Hilton<\/div><div class=\"subtitle\">Senior Technology Analyst, Construction<\/div><div class=\"subtitle\">Southland Industries <\/div><\/div><div><a href=\"https:\/\/mcaaevents.org\/fabrication\/speaker\/corey-hilton\/\"><span class=\"elementor-button-text\">See Bio<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><div class=\"program-day-event \" ref=\"event-11013\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"program-day-event-link\" ref=\"details-11013-8\"><span class=\"plus\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"minus\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/a><h5>11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.<\/h5><h4>Breakout: From Welder to Workflow Leader: The Evolution of the Fab Shop Foreman<\/h4><h5>Salon C-D<\/h5><\/div><div class=\"program-day-event-details\" id=\"details-11013-8\"><div class=\"program-day-event-details-wrapper\"><div class=\"program-day-event-details-content\"><p>The role of the fabrication shop foreman has changed.
