“Putting Industry 4.0, Digitisation and Smart Factories into practice to build a smarter, more efficient, more responsive and sustainable future for manufacturing”

About the Event

• Bringing together the manufacturing industries leading experts, companies, and cutting-edge technology in a mix of networking events, workshops, discussion panels and exhibits to help businesses and their leaders connect to others and to shape their future using Industry 4.0
• Hear and meet in person the companies and people who have actually made real differences to their business and achieved game changing results through using digital technologies to improve processes, reduce costs, increase agility, shorten lead times and step forward in their Net Zero journey
• A 3-day summit that allows you to understand how Industry 4.0 is being used today by some of the major companies at the forefront of the digital era right through to SMEs taking their first steps towards smart manufacturing.

Key Topics

Additive Manufacturing, a key part of building a distributed supply chain philosophy

Using AM will not only lead to faster product development and deployment, but it can be used as a true enabler of creating local part supply in a global market.

The 5G factory

How the adoption and roll-out of 5G on the factory floor can connect key Industry 4.0 technologies such as IoT, Augmented Reality, Digital Twins and collaborative robots to improve efficiency, safety and sustainability.

Linking virtual to reality using Digital Twins.

Broaden your understanding of how Digital Twins are already being used to model products, processes and factories and create live links in real time.

Build your Industry 4.0 workforce.

People will always be the backbone and driving force behind digital adoption and its use in Smart Manufacturing. What do industry leaders need to do to ensure that the future workforce have the skills and knowledge demanded by the digital revolution and what training will that require?

Data acquisition, how to visualise it, how to use it and how to drive efficiencies from it.
How industry 4.0/smart manufacturing can be used to help with unplanned disruption in the supply chain.

Over the past couple of years, major event-based supply chain disruption (e.g. semi-conductor shortage, Suez Canal, Covid, Brexit, etc) has impacted business and the global economy in ways that are virtually unprecedented. Be part of the discussion on how to utlise digital technologies to anticipate and pro-actively react to disruptions to minimize impact and maintain the supply chain.

Sustainability and carbon reduction/Net Zero using data.

As the world commits to Net Zero targets, industry will play a key role in meeting these requirements. Through the lens of Industry 4.0, Smart Manufacturing and Digitisation, identify opportunities to set the strategy, tactics and actions that will enable your carbon reduction journey.
