Recent Challenges & Innovations in Industry 4.0 & Intelligent Manufacturing

Professor Alan Norbury, Chief Technologist for Siemens Plc, will present on this fascinating and highly topical subject as part of the Productivity East Research and Innovation (R&I) seminar series.

Digitalisation is changing all areas of our lives: The way we stay informed, the way we travel, the way we buy things – and the way we manufacture products.

The pace of innovation and the ability to disrupt are becoming key success factors in global competition.

This new ‘Digital Revolution’ commonly referred to as ‘The 4th Industrial Revolution’ is driven by ‘embedded’ or ‘cyber physical’ systems interacting intelligently.

Join this seminar to find out what this means for UK productivity and growth. How technologies will change the way we do business. And what skills are required.

This is a great opportunity for industry insight from a leader in their field. Professor Norbury is a regular Industry 4.0 keynote speaker.

Since 2011 Alan has worked closely with the High Value Manufacturing Catapult Centres. As Chief Technologist he dedicates his time to developing leading technology innovation to benefit Siemens UK manufacturing facilities and Siemens industrial customers.
