The Future of Manufacturing: Digital Transformation and the Industrial Internet of Things

As nations around the world look to build their way out of economic downturn, the future of manufacturing looks bright. The future of manufacturing will, according to IDC, also look very different – in management, execution and delivery – as IT becomes “increasingly an integral part of manufacturing’s success”.

The driver is digital transformation underscored by the Industrial Internet of Things, Cloud and new approaches to storing and accessing structured and unstructured data. IDC predicts that by 2019, 75% of manufacturing value chains will undergo an operating model transformation. So what does this mean for your organisation? Where are you on the journey to digitisation? And what barriers stand in your way?

During this event, we’ll explore new models of IT delivery and discuss how the old storage and server rules need to be rethought. We’ll give you the opportunity to dive deep into solutions, and evaluate the benefits manufacturers can enjoy by adopting a software-defined storage approach.

Situated in the luxurious Hotel La Tour, this Dining Club event will take place in one of Marco Pierre White’s fabulous restaurants. Aiming to keep the British chophouse tradition alive, this dining venue will create the perfect atmosphere to allow in-depth discussion with peers while enjoying delicious food.
