MFG Forum: Become a Leader in Industry 4.0
The forth industrial revolution
has begun, and with it, powerful
technologies and processes that
will dramatically change the
manufacturing landscape are
emerging. Industry 4.0 is more
than a buzz word, it embodies the
opportunities and challenges for
manufacturers to create new value
in a changing world. It is
imperative that manufacturers
understand how to compete in this
new economy while protecting
their company, their people and
their intellectual property.
In 2018, MMA is proud to
partner again with the National
Center for Manufacturing Science
to help small, medium and large
manufacturers understand the
growing importance of Industry 4.0.
Industry 4.0 and Your
Future Business
At its core, Industry 4.0
represents the convergence of
physical and digital technologies
including: robotics, Internet of
Things (IoT), analytics, additive
manufacturing, augmented reality
and autonomous vehicles. Discover
from a global manufacturing
strategist how businesses must
compete to capitalize on new
I
opportunities and what your next
great innovation may look like.
Technology’s Impact
on Manufacturers
Large and Small
The challenges of the fourth
industrial revolution don’t just
affect large corporations; they
challenge manufacturers of all
sizes all across the supply chain.
Attendees will hear from a panel
of manufacturing leaders —
representing businesses small,
medium and large — about the
impact behind Industry 4.0, ways
to utilize new technology and the
many lessons learned along the way.
