Turning Connected Plants into Competitive Advantage through Emerging Technology, Workforce Transformation, and Sustainability at Scale

European manufacturing is at a critical turning point. Cost pressures, supply‑chain uncertainty and skills shortages are accelerating the need for smarter, more resilient factory models.

As AI, intelligent automation, and digital twins move beyond pilots, the focus shifts to scaling. Lighthouse factories are showing how governed AI and real-time optimisation drive productivity and competitiveness, while secure IIoT foundations remain essential to operational continuity.

Success ultimately depends on people, with digital upskilling and effective human‑machine collaboration becoming critical to operating the smart factory efficiently.

Join Made Smarter and smart factory leaders in London to address these challenges head‑on, and understand how leading strategies across automation, security, skills and sustainability are shaping future‑ready Industry 4.0 operations.

Our Technology Adoption Specialist, Will Kinghorn will be at this peer-led forum to explore how manufacturers can scale AI, automation, and connected factory technologies to build smarter, more agile, and sustainable manufacturing ecosystems.
