Strategies for Digital and Sustainable Manufacturing Transformation* (8 HOURS)

*This is a non-WSQ module.
Manufacturing companies are currently facing an important decision. They need to adopt digital and sustainable manufacturing transformation to improve productivity, reduce costs, and explore new business opportunities. Although they understand the benefits, many manufacturing companies struggle due to a lack of understanding about Technology and Systems Applications and how to effectively start and navigate this complex journey in the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

These companies also require support and guidance to create technology strategies and develop actionable and tailored plans that align with their specific operational contexts and strategic objectives for Industry 5.0.

The proposed 1-day (2 half-days) training programme addresses the critical needs of manufacturing companies by offering a curriculum that combines theoretical knowledge with practical applications. Participants will gain firsthand experience through activities such as guided smart factory tours and interactive workshops, providing them with insights, tools, and a comprehensive framework to develop organisational strategies for digital and sustainable manufacturing transformation.
