Networking Event - Capitalising on the Digital Manufacturing Revolution

1st December, 2021 | NICD, Newcastle, UK

Whether you call it smart factory or Industry 4.0, the world of manufacturing is going through a technology and data revolution. Manufacturers are increasingly exploring the potential of machine learning, artificial intelligence, IoT, cloud solutions, and intelligent digital-twins allowing for a transformation in their production facilities and throughout their organisation. However, with all this potential comes a great deal of hype and misinformation.

This free to attend, in-person event aims to change that, with practical discussion and advice from manufacturers that have adopted these technologies and seen measurable benefits.

Taking place at the National Innovation Centre for Data in Newcastle upon Tyne on Wednesday 1st December 2021, our presenters will guide you through the jargon, showing real-world, relatable use-cases for data, AI and simulation across the factory floor. From predictive maintenance to ensure optimum factory uptime to IoT applications to allow for real time monitoring and tracking of stock, the agenda covers some of the most talked about, high value applications of smart factory, all delivered through a mixture of presentations, live demonstrations and interactive networking sessions.

Featuring presentations and case studies from:
