1 min read

A seminar is due to take place next month to offer guidance on how to become a fully digitalised manufacturing enterprise.

The event, which has been organised by EEF and the Institute for Manufacturing (IfM) in Cambridge, will bring researchers, professionals and manufacturers together to learn how to tackle the challenges of adopting business strategy to digitalisation, how to transform business operations, and explore the opportunities and solutions adopting 4IR has to offer for manufacturers.

Delegates will hear from a range of the IfM experts on 4IR, together with Phil Smith, chairman of Cisco. They will also be joined by EEF chief Terry Scuoler and EEF’s consultancy director Martin Strutt.

The speakers will be sharing advice and opinion on the digital future of UK manufacturing, the opportunities 4IR will bring, and what 4IR will bring for next generation manufacturing processes, automation and connectivity and digital supply chains.

Strutt says: “4IR brings with it a number of benefits to manufacturers, but not one business is the same. This seminar will give companies the chance to learn how to adopt the right solution to transform their operations, improve productivity, innovate and compete for greater customer value.”

The event will to be held at the IfM in Cambridge on 15 June. To book places at the event, click here.
