Details

As industries embrace a heightened sense of social responsibility, a crucial inquiry arises regarding the future trajectory of manufacturing enterprises. Will AI eventually propel manufacturing plants to become “lights-out” factories? To what extent are these manufacturing enterprises purely commercial, and conversely, to what degree do they serve as social agents of welfare? The webinar aims to take you through an exploration of these dimensions, and to unravel the intricate interplay of technological progress, societal accountability, and the intricate identity of manufacturing entities. As we stand at the confluence of Industry 4.0 and the nascent currents of Industry 5.0, this dialogue becomes pivotal, casting light on the present and future contours of manufacturing automation.
