“There’s a new zeitgeist: I’m seeing a global manufacturing renaissance” :

Jeff Immelt, chief executive, General Electric

Global re-industrialisation on the agenda

But don’t expect a boom in manufacturing jobs

Plant run by Mindray medical equipment group in S China

US factory employment fell by 5m between 2000 and 2013 (17.2m to 12.2m)

EU lost 7m manufacturing jobs 2000-13 (38m to 31m)

The New Industrial Revolution:

Opportunities for the World

•What manufacturing means

•Global trends

•Impact of digital thinking/tech convergence

•Opportunities

Manufacturing: the key factors

• Creative force behind 10bn unique products

• Accounts for 16 per cent of world economy

• Source of new ideas, fresh thinking and stimulates

services activity

• Employs about 300m people (one third in China) or 1

in 25 of the population

• Contributes to falling prices: manufacturing prone to

deflation (compared to services)

• World contains about 1.5bn large manufactured

objects –of which less than 2pc are “connected”

Manufacturing requires four components…

•Global trends

The last 3,500 years

• Pre-industry (1,500BC to 1500 AD) : Iron Age, glass production, metals

• Proto-industry (1500- 1780) ;Venice shipyard (c.1500)

• First Industrial Revolution (1780-1850): steam power, textile

machinery

• Second Industrial Revolution (1840-1890) : communications; railways,

telegraph

• Third Industrial Revolution (1860-1930): science based methodology;

electricity, chemistry

• Fourth Industrial Revolution (1950-2000): computers, electronics

• Fifth Industrial Revolution (2005-?): connections, creativity,

customisation, helped by ICT/technology convergence

CONNECTIONS

Information/materials pathways

(encompassing INTERNET OF THINGS)

Design at a distance

Services addition

Dispersed, fragmented manufacturing is possible as supply/information chains become more

complex

Connected manufacturing: will influence many sectors

Google self-driving cars will require Internet of Things to work properly

New breed of networking/smart grid/dispersed design companies (Sigfox of France/Nuri Telecom

of S Korea/Libelium of US)

A potential boost to broad range of tech-based businesses spread globally

Sensor/system makers: from top left, clockwise, Crompton Greaves (India); Zytronic (UK); Sensor

Instruments(Germany); Worldsensing (Spain)

New industries based on smart sensors/new materials/electronic control: “smart buildings”

From top :Metaswood,Finnish maker of novel building materials; Coodo of German(mobile buildings);

Polysolar of the UK, manufacturer/developer of PV glass .

Holovis (UK): world leader in projection/design systems; applications in manufacturing, simulation-based training, films, gaming
