Digital Manufacturing 101 4 SMEs

Organiser

OrganiserThe Precision Manufacturing Centre At The Institute For Advanced Manufacturing

Two webinars providing an overview of Digital Manufacturing technologies, the opportunities, and how businesses can utilise them today

About this Event

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies and methodologies are a growing area of interest amongst manufacturing businesses of all sizes. Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) typically have less finance and expertise amongst their existing workforce, than larger organisations, to introduce digital manufacturing technologies into their businesses and subsequently miss out on innovation and productivity opportunities.

These interactive webinars will provide an introduction to everything Digital Manufacturing and attendees will come away with a better understanding of the technologies, the opportunities they present, and how they can be implemented into businesses today.

Client testimonials

Without the Growth Hubs help and assistance, we would never have been able to increase our sales & output and also grow our local business. With this help in purchasing new equipment we have expanded our operations and gained a new and increased customer base.

Nuneaton Roof Truss,

Over the past few years, Armstrongs has built up a fantastic relationship with Gary Thyeson from the Growth Hub. His advice on grants and funding has been really valuable to both Armstrongs and some of our clients. His knowledge of local business support has been helpful in signposting us to relevant support agencies as required. We look forward to working with Laura Delahunty moving forwards.

MES Systems Limited,

I have had an excellent experience working with Laura from the Growth Hub, from day one, she was taking detailed attention to my concerns and ideas.

I feel this support definitely had a positive impact in my plans.

Burbidge & Son Ltd,

Over the years since the Growth Hub was set up we have habitually gone to our Account Manager as a one-stop shop for all business-related information.  It has been a really convenient way of finding suppliers, advisors and, on one occasion, we even asked for assistance with finding customers.  We are invited to a wide range of business events including business development workshops, Brexit roundtable discussions, seminars on various topics and have also been asked to speak at some events.  When we have needed additional information, for example, finding finance sources or help with selecti
