In Conversation With Marcus Pont
Talking Industry’s Aaron Blutstein talks to Marcus Pont, CEO & Co Founder of Domin, about the company’s rapid growth and technological advances.
In Conversation With Chris Rooum
Aaron Blutstein talks to Chris Rooum, Business Development Director at the Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre (AMTC) to talk about skills and training for UK manufacturing in the Smart era.
Maintenance 4.0 Implementing Smart Technologies
Sponsored by www.drives-expo.com
How can digital technologies be used in maintenance activities to get benefit? Is connecting to the cloud safe? What can you learn from your machines, even without getting heavily into machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI)?
In Conversation With Haf Cennydd
Sponsored by www.drives-expo.com
Aaron Blutstein speaks to Haf Cennydd, portfolio director at Nineteen Group, the organiser behind Manufacturing & Engineering Week, to find out a bit more about its plans for Drives & Controls, Air-Tech, and Fluid Power & Systems Exhibitions as part of next year’s 2024 M&E Week.
In Conversation With John Kraus
Talking Industry’s Aaron Blutstein talks to John Kraus, Chief Executive for Engineers Without Borders UK, to find out a bit more about the origins, philosophy and the role the organisation is playing to help reimagine engineering practice so that engineers can respond effectively to the complexity and uncertainty of pressing global challenges such as climate change.
Manufacturing’s Net Zero Challenge
The net-zero challenge is of global importance and manufacturing industry’s role in decarbonisation cannot be overlooked. Manufacturing generates around 11% of total emissions, so as a collective we need to invest in and promote new technologies to change our course.
How can the manufacturing community play its part in global decarbonisation and save money on energy consumption?
IIOT, Digitalisation & Industrial Communications
Digitalisation is a journey, so to start with, keep it simple, start small, then scale up. Focus on certain aspects: Smart Maintenance, Smart Product Development, Smart Inventory Management, Smart Supply Chain, etc. While the boundaries between IT and OT are blurring, there are two parts in an IIoT project: people with IT knowledge have difficulties with data acquisition from the field; people with an OT profile may struggle with cloud systems, value creation & distribution, which require some level of IT competence.
LIVE Sessions from the MTC
In Conversation with Dr Megan Ronayne
Editor Aaron Blutstein talks with Dr Megan Ronayne, Head of Industrial Technologies at Innovate UK KTN about textiles, manufacturing, digitalisation within the industry and hopes for the future of manufacturing.
Skills, Training & Technology
Editor Aaron Blutstein talks Skills, Training and Technology in manufacturing and engineering, with a special focus on whats needed to help manufacturers adopt new digital technologies.
The Advantages of Robot Welding in Industrial Applications
Sponsored by KUKA, an expert panel will deliver experience, expert opinions and information on how robots are shaping the future of the welding industry, at the same time that there is an absence of welders with competent skills to meet industry demand.
How are robots and welding technology allowing manufacturers to address product quality, cost savings, reduced waste, weld integrity, repeatability, speed and accuracy?
Automated 3D Printing – Exponential Manufacturing Possibilities
3D printing is now considered a standard part of manufacturers toolkits across industry as a cost effective and accelerated alternative to conventional manufacturing techniques, such as subtractive manufacturing. Robotics & automation can enable a broad adoption of 3D printing, the key to which has to be ease of use and repeatable outcomes within fully integrated high-quality systems.
Safety Engineering & Manufacturing
Safety engineering may need rethinking in manufacturing plants. The future of process is digital, which creates many opportunities for plant operators to enhance efficiency, increase flexibility and make their plants future-proof.
In Conversation With Sarah Black-Smith
Talking Industry host Aaron Blutstein is in conversation with Sarah Black-Smith, about her career in industry, what it might take to encourage more women into engineering careers, lead times and hopes for UK Manufacturing over the next 5 years.
In Conversation With Dave Atkinson
Talking Industry host Aaron Blutstein is in conversation with Dave Atkinson, Regional Director and UK Head of Manufacturing at Lloyds Banking Group, about his career in industry, how Lloyds are supporting the manufacturing sector in the UK and his hopes for the future.
In Conversation With Mike Wilson
Talking Industry host Aaron Blutstein is in conversation with Mike Wilson, Chief Automation Officer at the Manufacturing Technology Centre, about his career in industry, why the UK needs to adopt robotics and automation, and his hopes for the future of the manufacturing sector in the UK.
The Benefits to Digitalisation in Manufacturing
While an increasing number of enterprise companies and some SMEs are adopting digitally transformative technology, the UK continues to fall behind other nations, including the US and Germany. What can be done to further evangelise the benefits of digitally transformative concepts to improve efficiency and competitive perspective? How can clearer definitions concepts – like IIoT, Industry 4.0 Smart Factory, Digital Twins, Machine Learning, Analytics and AI – be promoted more clearly?
Energy Efficiency and Net Zero
The net-zero challenge is of global importance and the UK manufacturing industry’s role in decarbonisation cannot be overlooked. We generate 454.8 million tonnes of CO2 per annum, almost 11% of the UK total, so as a collective we need to invest in and promote new technologies to change our course.
IIOT, Communications and 5G
Connectivity is a one-word summary for the Industry 4.0 revolution. From fieldbus to industrial Ethernet, from proprietary technologies to open standards, the evolution of network technologies has improved productivity and increased the interoperability of communication.
Our exciting, five-man international panel combines new and returning members.
