A practical workshop for manufacturers exploring how automation, robotics and digital technologies can support productivity, resilience and future growth.
Manufacturers are under pressure to improve productivity, manage cost and adopt new technologies, but knowing where to start, and how to build a credible business case, can be difficult.
This workshop gives business leaders a practical way to explore where automation and robotics can add value, understand common adoption barriers, and see applied technologies in an industrially relevant environment.
- See robotics, automation and digital manufacturing technologies in context through a guided MTC showcase.
- Explore practical examples of how automation can support productivity, quality and operational resilience.
- Discuss common barriers including skills, business case, integration, investment confidence and payback.
- Share sector-specific challenges and opportunities through facilitated roundtable discussions.
- Hear perspectives from organisations supporting innovation, skills and business growth, including FDF, UKFT and BIST.
- Leave with a clearer view of where automation can add value and what support is available to move from challenge to action.
UKFT will sit on a panel session in the afternoon for a discussion and Q&A.
