The National Industry 4.0 Summit is a unique, dedicated Industry 4.0 Summit event with compelling subject matter from top practitioners relevant to Ireland’s CEOs, CTOs and Senior Management from the Manufacturing and Services sectors. 

Industry 4.0 Explained:
The Smart Factory

We are all adapted to the language of the mobile phone revolution with our smart phones, smart TVs, smart watches and even now smart heating systems becoming commonplace. Futurists are telling us how we will be living in smart homes and smart buildings located in smart cities. This revolution of technology and communications is also forging ahead in the manufacturing context with the advent of the Smart Factory.  Industrialists have been to the forefront of embracing all of what developments in technology can offer in terms of production speed, efficiency, safety, sustainability and of course competitiveness and profitability.

At European level, manufacturing leaders have grouped under one broad heading the most significant developments in IT and communications technology which hold clear benefits for production – that heading has come to be known as Industry 4.0. Put simply, this concept refers to the fact that developments have been so world-changing from a manufacturing perspective that it amounts to a whole revolution in manufacturing techniques; effectively the 4th recognisable Industrial Revolution. Developments in technologies such as Additive manufacturing (3D printing), augmented reality, automated data systems, virtual reality, cobotics, big data analytics and so on.

The National Industry 4.0 Summit

The relative affordability of components such as sensors and microchips is transforming the way manufacturing business is being conducted. The National Industry 4.0 Summit will bring together the key players from an Irish perspective to one key event. Delegates will learn how this new phenomenon of information technology in manufacturing can increase their competitiveness and open their operations up to a whole world of business opportunities.
