Manufacturing Digitalisation Summit
Manufacturing Digitalisation Summit brings together the UK’s most senior digital-minded manufacturers. The event provides an opportunity for industry leaders to come together to discuss how digital technologies and processes (such as IT/OT convergence, AI, machine learning, IoT, 5G, digital twins, automation and advanced analytics) can improve their competitiveness and profitability, as well as reducing their carbon footprint and environmental impact.
Industrial Data Summit
Industrial Data Summit is the UK’s most senior gathering of manufacturing data professionals – created to ensure that data-minded manufacturers can come together for the sixth year to talk about the role of data and analytics in their business.
Now more than ever, manufacturers need to be able to access, understand and query their data to improve efficiency, reduce costs and embed a culture of data-driven decision making.
