Event details
Modern machine builders are under increasing pressure to innovate faster, deliver higher efficiency, and meet ever-stricter regulatory and customer requirements. Advances in automation, digital engineering, and connected systems are transforming how machines are designed, built, and maintained, but navigating these changes can be complex. Staying competitive today means not only adopting new technologies, but also integrating them in ways that improve performance, reduce risk, and ensure long-term compliance.
During the interactive webinar, which will feature a roundtable discussion, industry experts will explore the key trends shaping machine design and manufacturing today and in the future. Drawing on practical experience, the discussion will highlight approaches that help organisations adopt modern technologies more effectively, streamline development and operations, and build machines that are robust, adaptable, and ready to meet future demands.
The audience will gain practical insights into how machine builders, OEMs and systems integrators can improve operational efficiency and meet safety and regulatory standards, all without compromising innovation. Attendees will leave with actionable insights and multiple perspectives to help guide their own modernisation initiatives.
All attendees will receive a CPD certificate.
