Every organization, team and employee will face their own unique manufacturing challenges. Whilst many common challenges exist; business objectives may vary, each company will vary in size, availability of budget will differ and so will resources, which means that a “one size fits all” method may not be effective.

Understanding this, our format is designed to drive value through the power of discussion, leaning on smart manufacturing, automation, digitalization and technology experts to structure conversations around specialist topics and lead them according to the objectives of the participants.

This approach enables the discussion to flow more seamlessly and create opportunities to work through current problems by by utilizing the experience
and skill sets of every attendee and the facilitator to ensure each group concludes with useful and practical insights that will make a real difference.

Industry 4.0 has continued to disrupt the manufacturing industry at a rapid pace with many organisations progressing through their smart technology and automation journeys. Whilst some manufacturers are at the early stages of their journey and evaluating their business, others have identified appropriate solutions and now at the point where they are selecting vendors, implementing and integrating new technologies and scaling throughout the organization.

The benefits of technology is clear; with many manufacturers already realizing that robotics, artificial intelligence, machine learning and collaborative automation can drive productivity & efficiency gains whilst at the same time reduce costs and overheads, minimize risks and maintain safe operations.
Utilizing technology as a solution can certainly drive value, but the challenge then lies in the ability to build the business case, secure funding, develop an effective smart manufacturing and automation strategy, lead change, up-skill staff, select technology and prove ROI by defining clear metrics to measure success.

Ensure you secure your place at the conference, to network and discuss with your peers and competitors who may have already solved some of your common challenges.
