The power of data and digital in industry: supported by the AMRC and DMC
13 April 2023 - 13 April 2023
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.
