Don't miss the Digital Manufacturing Challenge, an in-person event facilitated by our LMAC manufacturing team of experts.
Over three hours, this semi-competitive event will demonstrate the real-world impact of Industry 4.0 solutions by applying them to our digital factory. You'll experience beginner, intermediate, and advanced technology solutions designed to address specific pain points across the value chain.
Join us for an immersive experience at the forefront of Industry 4.0, where early adopters across the manufacturing sector are reaping the benefits of cutting-edge technology. From enhanced products and services to improved processes and newfound efficiencies, these pioneers are transforming their operations and delighting customers. While the journey hasn't always been smooth, the lessons learned have always been invaluable.
Now, these Industry 4.0 leaders are opening their doors to share their success stories and the challenges they've overcome. Our hosts will welcome you to their facilities, offering guided tours of their factory floors. You'll gain a comprehensive overview of their business and objectives, with a focus on the technologies and connected processes that have made the most significant impact.

Ideal for operators, functional leaders, and senior executives, this event is perfect for teams of 2-10 members from each organisation. It aims to educate and engage all staff, supporting the adoption of Industry 4.0 and effective change management.

In this gamified session, teams are tasked with using a budget to make the best technology investment decisions for our digital factory, before justifying their investment to gain points. This challenge requires critical analysis of budget; possible return on investment; strategy, and pain points for scenarios across operations from order receipt to fulfilment.
With opportunities to get hands-on and try many of the technologies, you will reflect on where different technologies would add value in your own manufacturing environment as a key takeaway. After the event you'll receive an email with a personalised reference pack for your business including customised feedback, key information and notes taken by attendees during the session.
