The Future of Making Things

Industry 4.0, the 4th industrial revolution, smart manufacturing, digital factories…these are some of the phrases being used today to describe a series of game-changing innovations that are changing the way products are manufactured for ever. But only 48% of manufacturers consider themselves ready for Industry 4.0. To remain competitive, thousands of manufacturers need knowledge, training and state-of-the-art information and communication technology to improve productivity, shorten product development cycles and mass produce customised products as efficiently and cost effectively as possible. They will find all of this and much, much more at Industry 4.0 Summit 2017.
