The Manufacturer Smart Factory Expo

Head of Exhibitions at The Manufacturer, Adrian Sell, says ‘It is vital that the manufacturing sector truly understands the reality and implications of Industry 4.0, in all parts of the business; from the boardroom to the factory floor.

The interest in what Industry 4.0 technology can do for U manufacturing is evident in the speed of adoption across manufacturing, and not only in specific sectors such as automotive as we have seen in the past”.

The expo is an opportunity to see demonstrations of cutting edge products and talk to leading industry suppliers including: ABB Robotics, Aeris, Autodesk, B & R Industrial Automation, Balluff, Cisco, Exact Software, Harting, IBM, Netsuite, Panduit, Rockwell, Romi Machines, Schneider Electric, Siemens and Weidmuller.

Running alongside the Expo is The Manufacturer’s Annual Leaders Conference. Topics and speakers are poised to answer all the questions around what the 4th industrial revolution will mean for the UK manufacturing industry.

The speaker line-up represents a cross section of UK manufacturing including: 2 Sisters Food Group, MNB Precision, Hayward Tyler Group, Simon Kutcher, High Value Manufacturing Catapult, Siemens, Meggitt PLC, McLaren Applied Technology, The Manufacturing Technology Centre, Cranfield University, Philips AVENT and Rotork.

Part of The Manufacturer Live series of events taking place 1 – 3 November at The NEC, Birmingham, bookings are open for both events and exhibitor spots are still available.
