23 Jun 2026
The “smart factory” is no longer a vision — it’s a practical reality for organisations willing to integrate digital technologies, automation, and operational intelligence. This session explores how to build a connected industrial ecosystem that delivers measurable outcomes, rather than isolated technology silos. It brings together insights from strategy, automation, data, and workforce enablement, showing how industrial organisations can unlock efficiency, agility, and resilience.
