Investing in the Smart Factory: Possibilities, Buy In, and Future Trends

Overview


Food production is changing – rapidly. The sector faces the challenge of delivering more food, faster and more efficiently than ever before, all while labour remains scarce. Enter the Smart Factory: a new way of operating with the potential to tackle all these issues at once. But how do you get started? How do you secure buy-in from the senior team? And where should you invest to ensure long‑term ROI? These are the questions we’ll be asking our expert panel.

Tune in for four exclusive presentations – including how to get started on your smart factory journey, guidance on accessing and preparing your facility for robotics, and real-life case studies from manufacturers who have already made it happen.
