Abstract
The 2018 Digitalising Manufacturing Conference took place from 29-30 October at the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) in Coventry.
The conference was held one year on from the launch of the Made Smarter Review at the event. Led by Siemens UK CEO Prof. Juergen Maier, Made Smarter has recently moved to the implementation stage with a National Adoption Programme being piloted in the North West.
The two-day conference brought together international authorities on digital manufacturing from Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Mexico and the UK, as well as other countries. Manufacturing leaders shared experiences with delegates, and underlined that the digital revolution opens up huge potential for UK manufacturers prepared to invest in skills and technology.
Delegates also heard from several smart factory experts that international co-operation has never been more important if the UK is to stay competitive, and that many nations around the world were embarking on the same digital journey.
