Event Venue and Description: AMRC Factory 2050, Sheffield Business Park, Europa Avenue, S9 1ZA

There’s a lot of talk right now about how digital technologies and approaches can transform manufacturing – robotics & automation, the “internet of things”, augmented/virtual reality, “Industry 4.0”.

It is becoming clear that when implemented well these can help manufacturers to realise a more productive, prosperous future. Smaller companies in particular are central to realising this “fourth industrial revolution”. However, knowing where to start is not easy, and your budget may be tight.

The Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC; part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult) and the Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN) will cut through the hype to bring you a no nonsense, jargon-free guide to this revolution and introduce the support and funding that is out there to help – for instance via Innovate UK.

In particular they will demonstrate some of the most easily accessible technologies which any business could implement now, and highlight some of the key benefits.
