Don't risk digitalisation paralysis |
09/01/2025 |
OPEN ANY issue of CDA and there is no shortage of inspiring digitalisation case studies, technology updates and thought leadership on the subject. However, the reality is that much of the UK's industrial sector – particularly SMEs – is at risk of falling behind when it comes to digitalisation. |

Industry 5.0 - coming to an industrial facility near you soon |
14/06/2024 |
AT THE recent Smart Manufacturing and Engineering Week event, one of the more popular buzzwords I heard being bandied around was Industry 5.0. While it might seem only a short time since Industry 4.0 was all the rage, the concept was first coined over ten years ago so it stands to reason that things are moving on. |

Invest to be the best! |
02/05/2024 |
ANYONE FAMILIAR with the UK industrial sector will no doubt be aware of the relatively low levels of investment in the UK when compared to, for example, our European counterparts. Indeed, the finger is often pointed at under-investment when it comes to figuring out the reasons behind the UK’s perennial issue of low productivity. Add to this the growing need for sustainability – which simply cannot be achieved without investment in the latest technologies – and the need for investment has never been greater. |
