The power of data and digital in industry: supported by the AMRC and DMC
Description changed:
Explore how data and analytics can and should be used as a primary driver in your digital transformation.
Join us at Barnsley Digital Media Centre to hear how the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC's) NextGen project has helped to embed low-cost digital technologies in manufacturing companies across South Yorkshire and Wales, whilst also helping to develop digital savvy engineers of the future.
The learnings from this project can be applied industry-wide. During this event, we will explore the current skills shortage in the manufacturing sector and how adopting a digitally-focused culture can help productivity, save energy and reduce waste.
