Smart Manufacturing Experiment
Open date: Tuesday 2 August 2022 Close date: Tuesday 20 September 2022
Overview
FutureScope Smart Manufacturing Experiment is a 12-week programme designed to empower up to 15 manufacturing companies from the UK to leverage the smart technologies, tools and techniques of Industry 4.0. The workshop series will enable participants to design actionable solutions for identified business challenges and opportunities.
At the end of the 12 week period, having created a proposal for a solution to address their specific business challenge or opportunity, participants will take part in a Demo Day in early 2023 to present this proposal to industry experts and peers. The resulting feedback from this event will enable the participants to take their proposal to the next stage of development.
