The 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) is under way. 4IR technologies such as machine learning, big data analysis, real-time data collection and advanced robotics are driving manufacturing into a new digital era. It’s time for UK manufacturers to decide how they can leverage 4IR to remain globally competitive.

Increased investment is also predicted to have a significant impact on the UK economy with additional value creation and new jobs.
We are committed to supporting UK manufacturers as they come to terms with the implications of 4IR. We’ve created a range of additional insights into the main issues and you can access them below.
