About the session
The UK is not at the forefront of global manufacturing. However, with our world-renowned knowledge intensive sector we are in prime position to influence that sector and its supply chains. Major manufacturers are already working closely with the technology sector to improve productivity through advanced sensors, monitoring and automation software and next generation connectivity solutions. Business models are evolving past one-off purchases of equipment to factory-as-a service offerings with software upgrades, advice and maintenance as standard. What are the next steps for the manufacturing sector? How can technology help these firms achieve the all-important, incremental efficiency improvements?
