The New Industrial Revolution has already started..........
The world of manufacturing is on the edge of a major transition. If you are involved with manufacturing, it is time to take a look around, see what is happening, and prepare for a new paradigm.
The start of the 21st century is rapidly making new demands and offering new opportunities to manufacturers. A myriad of external drivers will force manufacturers to reassess again how to organise their activities, to deliver innovative products and services to the customer, control costs, minimise environmental impact, and cooperate with their supply partners more effectively.
This unique seminar on 19 June 2014, at the Telford Innovation Campus is hosted by the University of Wolverhampton (UoW) in cooperation with IngPro Ltd. It will explain the drivers for change as well as how we can shape our future manufacturing strategies to take advantage of this new Industrial Revolution.
