Join the Smart Manufacturing Data Hub online to learn more about the real-world challenges SME manufacturers face when embracing Industry 4.0 technologies.
Characterised by increased automation and the employment of data-informed smart machines and smart factories, the fourth industrial revolution is upon us.
However, for SME manufacturers there is a lot to learn about and a lot to consider. There are hurdles posed by people, infrastructure and equipment and it can be difficult to identify how to overcome them.
During this session we will:
- Address common concerns around adapting to new technologies
- Discuss the importance of providing the right training for you and your team
- Take a look at infrastructure issues and their impact on day-to-day operations
- Highlight struggles with equipment and focus on compatibility problems between existing machinery and state-of-the-art technologies
- Share practical tips and strategies tailored for manufacturers, offering a roadmap to navigate and overcome these barriers for a successful Industry 4.0 journey on the shop floor
The session will end with an audience Q&A so please come prepared with questions!
