ONLY 48 PERCENT OF MANUFACTURERS

CONSIDER THEMSELVES READY FOR INDUSTRY 4.0

They need knowledge, training and new technology. If you own a product to make manufacturing smarter, you need to be at Europe’s

only event dedicated to Industry 4.0.

Industry 4.0, the 4th industrial revolution, smart manufacturing, digital factories… These are some of the phrases being used today to describe a series of game-changing

innovations that are changing the way products are manufactured forever.

Whilst 83% of UK manufacturers are planning to invest in automation and control systems in the future, only 48% of manufacturers across Europe consider themselves ready for Industry 4.0. To

remain competitive, thousands of manufacturers need knowledge, training and state-of-the-art information and communication technology to improve productivity, shorten product development cycles and mass produce customised products as efficiently and cost effectively as possible.

EUROPE’S LARGEST SHOWCASE OF INNOVATIONS IN MANUFACTURINGApril 2017 will see two major manufacturing events hosted in the UK – Industry 4.0 Summit and Factories of the Future. Showcasing thousands of innovations to help manufacturers digitise and upgrade operations, these are Europe’s only events dedicated to the future of manufacturing.

Hosted in Manchester - the world’s first industrial city with the first factories and the first industrial estate – Industry 4.0 Summit will be Europe’s largest gathering of solutions providers, innovators and technology buyers looking to get ready for this step-change in global manufacturing.

Manchester employs over 100,000 people in the manufacturing sector. It is where Rolls met Royce; where Ford started building cars in Europe and where Williams and Kilburn built the world’s first computer. And it continues to host the biggest brands of today, including operations for BAE Systems, Siemens, Kellogg’s, and McVitie’s.

MANUFACTURERS IN THE UK PLAN TO INVEST IN AUTOMATION

Any company that sells solutions in digital manufacturing. Engineers, factory managers and technology buyers will be there to specifically find innovations to make their operations smarter, cleaner and more productive.

If you can help manafacturers do that, you can sell products at Industry 4.0 Summit.
